Thank you! 💚
100%! My main inspiration for the correct positioning of the mound was Newgrange! There are several of these amazing "tombs" on the site, but Newgrange is definitely the most famous one. It's also much older than the Great Pyramids of Giza and Stonehenge. Historians claim it's a burial tomb, some locals insist that it is a portal to The Otherworld. I've been there myself a couple of times and I can confirm: it's most certainly the latter. 😇
In order to have a chance of becoming a Winter Solstice Dawn Watcher you'd have to enter the Solstice lottery. As far as I know anyone in the world can enter, but -since it's a lottery- it's a really tough one to win as not many people fit inside the chamber (I believe it's limited to 20) and there's only about 4 to 5 days of solstice dawn. Obviously Mayor Whiskers will be one of the lucky winners to get a clear morning.
People that go on daily tours get a taste of what Solstice dawn is like thanks to artificial lighting, and although it's not the same as pure sunlight, it's still impressive.
Small print: The passage leading to the chamber is very low and narrow in places, so this is not for folks who may suffer from claustrophobia and/or are afraid of the dark.
Did I sell this one? 😅
Creepy occults incoming...
Banshee! I want to see! 😀
