The basin stones in Knowth contained cremated bones and ashes and were beautifully carved inside and out. Archaeologists also found a flint macehead between two jambstones in the eastern tomb that was likely a precious ceremonial object. Knowth contains over 300 decorated orthostats, the largest concentration of megalithic art in Europe, with some of the most dramatic designs on stones in the passageways leading to the chambers. Around 60% of all Western European Neolithic art is contained within the large monuments of Br炭 na B坦inne, featuring confidently carved combinations of spirals, lozenges, chevrons, and triangles on a large scale.

At 8:58 am on December 21st, 1969, the first ray of direct sunlight shone through the roofbox and into the passage of Newgrange tomb, illuminating the floor up to the front of the basin stone.
Br炭 na B坦inne is an archaeological landscape in Ireland that contains three large Neolithic passage tombs - Newgrange, Knowth, and Dowth. It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its outstanding universal value.
The passage tombs were built around 5,000 years ago and show the earliest evidence of human activity in the area. They remained focal points for centuries after their initial construction and burials.Great tomb of knowth 1

The document summarizes information about three ancient tombs located near Newgrange in Ireland:
The Eastern Tomb originally had a 35m long passage leading to a chamber with three side recesses and a beehive-shaped stone roof. Stone basins in the recesses once held cremated remains.
The Western Tomb has a narrow 34m long passage that bends before opening into a rectangular chamber with a huge 2m long capstone roof. The stone basin was originally located in the chamber area.
A diagram shows the layout of the two tombs in comparison to Newgrange and each other, and provides additional context about the archaeological site.Dowth 1

Br炭 na B坦inne is one of the world's most important archaeological landscapes, containing passage tombs from 5,000 years ago that were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dowth is one of the three great passage tombs at Br炭 na B坦inne, surrounded by a kerb of 115 stones with two tombs facing west and smaller tombs to the east and south. Dowth North has an 8.2 meter passage leading to a cruciform chamber with side recesses and annexes, while Dowth South has a shorter passage opening to an almost circular chamber.A READING SPACE IN EVERY SCHOOL

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in Wiltshire, England composed of earthworks and standing stones. Archaeologists believe it was erected around 2500 BC and served as a burial ground from its earliest existence. It went through three phases of construction, with Stonehenge III being the stone circle of sarsen stones still visible today. While its exact purpose remains unknown, theories suggest it functioned as an astronomical observatory or religious site.Stonehenge

Stonehenge is a megalithic monument located on the Salisbury Plain in England composed of 150 enormous stones set in a circular pattern. The monument dates back to around 2000 BC and includes sarsen stones weighing up to 60 tons arranged in a circle within an outer circular earthwork. While its true original purpose remains unknown, theories suggest it was used for ceremonial purposes related to solstices, equinoxes, and possibly predicting eclipses. Stonehenge continues to impress visitors with its ancient construction and enduring mysteries.Stone age

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in England composed of a circular setting of large standing stones. Archaeologists believe it was constructed between 3000 BC to 2000 BC in multiple stages. The first stage involved building a large earthwork around 3100 BC. Later, in 2150 BC, 82 bluestones were transported nearly 240 miles from Wales and erected in the center. In 2000 BC, the sarsen stones were brought from 25 miles away and formed an outer circle and inner trilithons. After 1500 BC, the bluestones were moved into their current configuration. Theories suggest it was an astronomical observatory, cemetery, or religious temple.Why Art Matters Module 7

Trade and artistry have been important parts of human societies since prehistoric times. Early humans created cave paintings, sculptures, and pottery to express themselves. Later, the Sumerians traded goods and developed writing to record their commerce. The Jomon people of ancient Japan invented pottery, developed specialized settlements, and established long-distance trading networks to share resources without overusing any local area. Artisans in ancient Egypt specialized in crafts like sculpture, painting, and metalworking to supply the needs of temples and palaces.2 prehistoric art 1

Prehistoric art developed over millions of years from the earliest humans to the Neolithic period. The Paleolithic period saw the first known artworks created with stone tools, including cave paintings between 30,000-13,000 BCE depicting animals and humans. The Mesolithic and Neolithic periods saw the development of agriculture and permanent settlements, with art becoming more representational of humans and used for ornamentation and architecture. Key characteristics of Neolithic art included figurines, pottery with designs, and megalithic constructions.History Of Art

Stonehenge is a prehistoric World Heritage Site in Wiltshire, England consisting of a stone circle built in three phases between 3100 BC and 1950 BC. The first phase included a timber circle around 3000 BC, later replaced with stones around 2600 BC. Around 2400 BC, 30 huge sarsen stones were erected forming an inner and outer stone circle, with the remaining bluestones placed innermost. Though its purpose remains unknown, it is believed Stonehenge functioned as a ritual site and calendar based on solar alignments during solstices.Art 9.pptx
