Newgrange at Twilight ~ Anthony Murphy
Anthony Murphy, is an author, journalist, astronomer and photographer. He also curates the wondeful Mythical Ireland website. Join Chris and Anthony as they explore how Irish mythological stories, supported by recent evidence from genertics, seem to reflect the remarkable story of both neolithic and bronze age Ireland.
This is a slightly longer 'Conversation in the Landscape' than usual but why not?
There is so much to explore in this fascinating topic .
