Creevykeel in Sligo, Ireland represents Virgo in the ancient astronomical survey system in Ireland. It is regarded by almost all who go there to be a splendid and breathtaking sight for the primeval majesty of this so-called "court tomb" - more correctly called a "court circle planisphere". The entire court circle with decipherment of the largest stones is shown above. A good number of small stones also have figures drawn on them - and, originally - represented stars of smaller magnitude, but it is difficult to say for sure what is original among these stones. The ancients did everything by intent at these sites. There were no superfluous stones originally. Creevykeel has one of the finest megaliths in all of Ireland, deciphered here as representing Boötes. Harvard did research on this site in 1935 and determined that Creevykeel is one of the oldest sites in Ireland, yet the megalithic figure of Boötes is so breathtakingly modern as to almost broadcast the coming of modern man and woman - and in this case, it is a woman, in regal dress, with a fur of Draco tossed over her shoulder. Make sure to look at the photos online which are referred to in the drawings. Creevykeel is a site you will never forget - for you will never look at Neolithic mankind the same again. The connection to Virgo is also found at the extensive site Carrowmore which is allegedly the burial place for Queen Maeve, on the cairn atop the mountain of Knocknaree, Queen Maeve, as the legendary ancestor of the Celts, is surely Virgo, known in Anglo-Saxon as Maiden and in Latin as Minerva. Cairn G of the site Carrowkeel in Sligo, Ireland is an astronomical masterpiece of calculation, with the sun shining over the doorway at the Summer Solstice, then being reflected back by a shiny mica wall to the portal stone, which has a vertical slit in it through which the reflected sunlight passes. As we have discovered, the figures carved on the portal megalith stone of Cairn G permit calculation of the date of this Summer Sostice to June 25, 2430 BC at which time there was a solar eclipse and the line of the Solstices ran from Deneb in Cygnus, through the North Ecliptic Pole, the North Celestial Pole and along the side of the left cup stars of Ursa Major, i.e. the Big Dipper.. This is precisely the line shown by the portal stone in the drawing above. |
