How can the #RoyalIrishAcademy claim "Europe's largest collection of megalithic art" at #Knowth "shaped our understanding of this ancient site" when the RIA insists Knowth's #MegalithicArt "cannot be understood to have a specific meaning"?
Where's the #understanding in that #questionable claim?
New video: Beyond Newgrange: The World of Ireland’s Passage Tombs. It looks at the Irish passage tomb world of Knowth, Dowth, the Mound of the Hostages, Carrowmore, and many more. Enjoy

I & several other researchers have identified what we have reasonable grounds to believe are pictorial depictions of #SolarEclipses, &or #SolarEclipseSymbolism, carved into the #MegalithArt of #Dowth, #Knowth & #Loughcrew.
We arrived at our #SolarEclipse hypotheses independently of each other.
I don't think I was being "confrontational" about Dr. Shee Twohig's questionable claim that the #MegalithicArt of #Knowth, and by extension all Irish megalithic art, is purely geometric "non-representational art" that "cannot be understood", but this did cause Ken to try to discredit my hypotheses.
The #MegalithicArt carved into Kerbstone 86 on the upper left is almost identical to an off-center #AnnularEclipse, & the #RockArt "arcs" have been interpreted as a #Neolithic depiction of the mythical "solar boat" by Eamonn Kelly.

The "photo" in your post is an AI fake.
Why not post an actual photo or archaeological drawing of Knowth's kerbstone 15?

Kerbstone 15: Ireland’s Ancient Stone of Secrets What if a single stone held the key to unlocking the mysteries of a 5,000-year-old civilization? Deep in Ireland’s Boyne Valley, at the ancient site of Knowth, lies Kerbstone 15 — a seemingly simple slab of stone that may hold profound insight into the Neolithic mind. Far from ordinary, this weathered megalith is etched with intricate carvings: a central cupmark with 20 radiating lines, alongside spirals, arcs, and U-shaped motifs. Is it art? A star map? An ancient calendar? Or something more metaphysical? As part of a ring of 124 kerbstones encircling Knowth's main passage tomb, Kerbstone 15 belongs to the largest collection of megalithic art in Europe. And while scholars continue to debate the meaning of its carvings, one truth remains: these stones offer a rare glimpse into a pre-literate culture that aligned its monuments with celestial rhythms, the Earth’s energies, and possibly even the cycle of life and death. Kerbstone 15 is not just a rock. It’s a portal to prehistoric consciousness, a sacred relic that still whispers across millennia. #Kerbstone15 #Knowth #BoyneValley #MegalithicArt #NeolithicMystery #AncientIreland #CelticRoots #MegalithicCalendar #StoneAgeWisdom #AncientAstronomy #PrehistoricArt #SacredStones #LostCivilizations #PassageTombs #ArchaeoMysteries #HiddenHistory #WorldHeritageSite See less Comments Phil Glover Wtf 27m Reply Share Nigel Ash No photo description available. 42m Reply Share Rick Royal 🌠 𝗦𝘁á𝗿𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗲𝗿 🌀🧙♂️🙏🏼💜🕊️✨ This is a celebrati… See more 45m Reply Share Edited

If I'm to believe former Keeper of Irish Antiquities at the National Museum of Ireland Eamonn Kelly, not only did the prehistoric inhabitants of Ireland see "a flying ship", specifically the "solar boat" of the Sun god, but they carved it into stone at #Knowth.
