I love the zigzags! Ireland's best are at Fourknocks and Newgrange (Knowth and Dowth don't have them). It is thought that a lot of the Irish ones were probably similarly painted, but the climate doesn't allow for preservation.

Imagine Newgrange, lit up gold by the solstice sun! It's an amazing site even today. Imagine it with the walls black except for the zigzags and spirals left natural, these motifs glowing and radiating beautifully on the walls like a kids bedroom with glow in the dark stickers on the walls and ceiling.

I think until they are experienced in this format again we will never truly *know*.

Love on ya babe!

Off to look at more of yer photies!
