As Above T-Shirt | Newgrange Solstice Spiral meets Galaxy

Newgrange, in Ireland's Boyne Valley, was built around 3200 BC, making it older than Stonehenge and the pyramids of Giza. It is a great round mound of earth and stone with a long passage leading to a cross-shaped chamber. Above the entrance is a small opening called the roof-box, and at dawn around the winter solstice the rising sun shines through it, sending a beam down the passage to light the chamber floor for about seventeen minutes. Inside, a stone is carved with the famous triple spiral.

This design sets that solstice beam inside a far larger spiral. Looking down the stone-lined passage, light pours through the roof-box onto a boulder carved with three linked spirals, while above the mound a spiral galaxy turns in the night sky, its golden arms streaming down to meet the carving. As above, so below.
