Focusing on the Brú na Bóinne World Heritage Site in Ireland, the book explores the practical and symbolic significance of astronomical observations in Neolithic societies transitioning to agriculture. It highlights how early humans integrated astronomical knowledge into a rich symbolic system tied to their experience of time. This examination not only sheds light on prehistoric practices but also connects to ongoing discussions in archaeology, astronomy, and history regarding humanity's relationship with celestial cycles throughout the ages.
