Monuments, Myths and Alignments in Ancient Ireland | Anthony Murphy | Megalithomania

Anthony Murphy has been studying the megalithic monuments of eastern Ireland and their associated mythology and astronomy for 20 years. He brings us up to date with all his most recent research. Anthony is a journalist, photographer, author and astronomer who lives in Drogheda, at the gateway to Ireland’s historic Boyne Valley. He has spent almost 20 years researching, photographing and writing about the ancient megalithic monuments of the Boyne Valley and their associated mythology, cosmology and alignments. He is the author of five books, including the acclaimed Island of the Setting Sun: In Search of Ireland’s Ancient Astronomers (with Richard Moore), Newgrange: Monument to Immortality and Mythical Ireland: New Light on the Ancient Past. He is a member of the Independent Tour Guides Association in Ireland. In July 2018 Anthony shot to international fame when he discovered a previously unknown late Neolithic henge or ceremonial enclosure 750m from the world famous megalithic monument of Newgrange. This will be revealed in his second lecture. Anthony last spoke at Megalithomania in 2007. http://www.mythicalireland.com.
