EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the interior of a Neolithic passage grave, located within the Carrowkeel Bronze Age cemetery in County Sligo, Ireland. Dating back to the 33rd-25th century BC, this ancient burial site offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of our prehistoric ancestors. The image showcases the megalithic architecture of this remarkable structure, with its stone walls and narrow passageways leading deeper into the earth. The play of light and shadow creates an eerie yet mesmerizing atmosphere inside this sacred space. It is as if time stands still within these ancient walls, carrying whispers from centuries past. As we contemplate this photograph, we are reminded of the concept of death and how it was perceived by those who came before us. This burial chamber served as a final resting place for individuals who held great significance within their community. Their remains lay undisturbed for thousands of years until rediscovered by modern explorers like CM Dixon and Mike Dixon. The colorization adds depth to our understanding of this historical site, allowing us to envision what life might have been like during that distant era. It serves as a reminder that even in our fast-paced world today, there is much wisdom to be gained from reflecting on our ancient roots.
