Live Irish Myths episode 75: Newgrange - Tomb or Womb?

In this evening's episode of MythFlix, I will read more from my book 'Newgrange: Monument to Immortality', in particular a chapter called 'Tomb or Womb'. A fierce debate has continued for decades about whether Newgrange was chiefly a tomb, or whether it was something else. Hear my view on the debate in this episode.

Good stuff!

What I respect about you Anthony is that you are willing to see both sides of an argument and to say at times,

"I dont have the evidence, so who knows?"

(Unlike those archeologists you mentioned who were quick to denigrate the idea of people being 'spiritually connected').

Can't it be both? The origional/primary purpose of Newgrange was likely not as a tomb. In fact i think most ancient monuments were multi-purpose sights.
