Speaking of #AcademicCommunication, I believe it was a mistake for Dr. Elizabeth Shee Twohig & the #RoyalIrishAcademy to ignore my #communications to the effect that it's a mistake to assert that Ireland's #MegalithicArt is geometric #NonRepresentationalArt that "cannot be understood".

#Eclipsology
A Facebook comment from the fall of 2021 responding to this 'Excavations At Knowth' post: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18mMchDABB/ in which I call into question Irish archaeologist Dr. Elizabeth Shee Twohig's assertion that the megalithic art of Knowth is purely geometric "non-representational art" that "cannot be understood": I am quite concerned by Elizabeth Shee Twohig claiming that because "the carvings are geometric, we can't decipher them with any certainty", and "but we can appreciate the achievement of the artists and builders of Knowth 5000 years ago, even if we cannot understand the art." Her suggestion that "perhaps its symbolism was a secret, even in its own time, except for certain people" only deepens the "mystery". Thankfully Ms. Twohig does acknowledge, "The fact that the people who built the "passage tombs" had an interest in astronomical alignments might suggest that some of the art is related to this, such as the radial representing the sun perhaps." Perhaps? Isn't it glaringly obvious that the "radial lines" around circles and rings are rayed sun symbols? Cut While I cannot claim to completely and definitively "decipher" ALL of the rock art at Knowth, Newgrange, Dowth, Loughcrew, Fourknocks and other Irish megalithic sites, I can assert with a high degree of certainty that the circles, rings, or holes with "radial lines" carved into Dowth's "Stone of the Seven Suns", Loughcrew's "Equinox Stone", and Knowth's inner passage housing its stone basin do in fact represent the sun. More specifically, these rayed sun symbols are almost certainly inspired by prehistoric observations of one or more of the three total solar eclipses that occurred above 4th millennium BCE Ireland. Link to complete comment: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18mMchDABB/ A black and white drawing of nine examples of Irish megalithic art from Newgrange and Dowth with a caption saying: These carvings from Newgrange and Dowth have been interpreted as symbols of a Great Goddess whose eyes watched over the dead." A black and white astronomical drawing of the 1851 total solar eclipse on the left is quite similar to a colour photograph of one of the petroglyphs carved into the Neolithic Irish "passage tomb" Dowth's "Stone of the Seven Suns", which has been described as representing "either the sun or an eye" in a caption to the photo published in TIME-LIFE book 'The Monument Builders'. A black and white drawing of an urn found in the Neolithic Irish "passage tomb" Knowth that Sir Thomas Molyneux described thusly in 1725: "The urn itself was one great heavy stone, of an oblong round figure, somewhat of the shape of the upper part of a man’s skull, but five or six times as large; ’twas of a sandy greet like freestone, but much coarser and harder; its length about sixteen inches, about twelve in breadth, and eleven in height, its cavity but shallow, not above five inches deep, rudely hollowed by cutting out some part of the stone, in which was found loose fragments of burnt bones: they seem to have taken pains in adorning the outside with rude lines and carving, yet the work shows more the labour than skill of the artist, who has graved five furrows one above another, round the upper part of the urn; and in the middle of each side, and at each end, rude figures, expressing, as I take it, the great luminaries of the world, the sun and moon: and I’m the more inclin’d to favour this conjecture, because ’tis sure, these two celestial bodies were very religiously adored by all of the northern nations in time of paganism."
