Newgrange Winter Solstice

Newgrange is best known for the illumination of its passage and chamber by the rising sun at the Winter Solstice. Above the entrance to the passage of the mound there is an opening called a roof-box. On mornings around the winter solstice a beam of light penetrates the roof-box and travels up the 19 meter passage and into the chamber. As the sun rises higher, the beam widens so that the whole chamber is dramatically illuminated.

if newgrange is 3200bc old then its as old as the Royal Cemetry of Sumerian UR, predates the oldest Egyptian Pyramid Saqqara and First Assyrian Capital Assur ,I dont understand why the surrounding isnt fenced, where is the security, this shud be a main attraction for tourists around the world with large displays explaining its origin,

I dont get it? 🤔

This was built in 3200 BC and is perfectly aligned with the winter solstice so that the sun illuminates that room. Pretty cool!
