Ground-breaking technology shows no second chamber at Newgrange
The technology used in an attempt to find out whether a second
passage tomb, which may also be aligned with a solstice event,
exists at Newgrange had proved its worth during experimentation
by a Slovakian team of scientists who visited the Boyne Valley,
an Irish archaeologist said this week. Dr Conor Brady,
archaeologist and lecturer at Dundalk Institute of Technology,
who lives at Slane, said that while there would be no “dramatic
announcements” about discovery of a second chamber at Newgrange
at this stage, the microgravitational technology used in the
experiments had proven valuable to archaeologists and
scientists. The possibility that Newgrange could have a second
passage tomb, which may also be aligned with a solstice event,
was being explored by a team of Irish and Slovakians
archaeologists using ground-breaking technology. Read more.
