A trip centered around the burial rites and traditions of other countries would be perfect to go on. Thanks for the information! These places are fantastic!!!

There is a Crusader buried there, whose mummified remains you can actually touch, as rubbing his finger brings good luck (indeed, I rubbed it and was contacted via email that day that I had gotten a job and was no longer unemployed). Wolfe Tone's deathmask is on display, as well as the mummified of several other formerly prominent Dublin families. Finally, it's worth noting that Bram Stoker's family is buried here, and it is likely that his concept for Dracula found its genesis in the tomb of St. Nician's.

It needed no reconstruction as it remained intact for all that time due to the incredible engineering of the original structure. ONce inside the original soil has turned to sand which hasn't seen rainfall in since the roof was first constructed. The OUTSIDE of the structure is reconstructed but if you travel to Knowth and Dowth you can see what it looked like before. The visitors' entrance is not fake, it merely allows elderly or infirm people to enter the tomb, the alternative is to climb over the entrance stone which blocks the door. Baring in mind that the stone is well over a meter high you can see the necessity of that. And would you really begrudge the visitors a path? And you CAN visit the tomb itself, you just have to get a BUS from the visitors centre!:D I'm really glad it was included because it's one of the most amaing places I've ever seen & I've travelled a bit - but then I'm from Meath nearby so I might be biased. Only problem is that there's no evidence that it is a tomb. It's called a "passage grave" because in Neolithic Ireland stone graves were popular. They think it might have been a temple of some sort!

The visitors’ entrance is not fake, it merely allows elderly or infirm people to enter the tomb, the alternative is to climb over the entrance stone which blocks the door. Baring in mind that the stone is well over a meter high you can see the necessity of that. And would you really begrudge the visitors a path? And you CAN visit the tomb itself, you just have to get a BUS from the visitors centre!:D I’m really glad it was included because it’s one of the most amaing places I’ve ever seen & I’ve travelled a bit – but then I’m from Meath nearby so I might be biased. Only problem is that there’s no evidence that it is a tomb. It’s called a “passage grave” because in Neolithic Ireland stone graves were popular. They think it might have been a temple of some sort! Anyway, cool list!:D

The whole lot was covered by a hill until it was excavated. Nowadays you cant even visit the original site, you must go to a completely fake "visitor centre" across the valley from the real thing.
