Incredible 5,500-year-old tomb discovery is 'find of a lifetime'

 A new passage tomb cemetery has been discovered in County Meath, Ireland.

Archaeologists in Ireland have uncovered a megalithic tomb containing two burial chambers, complete with elaborate carvings.

The passage tomb at Brú Na Bóinne, a World Heritage site in County Meath, was excavated by agri-technology Company Devenish and experts from University College Dublin’s School of Archaeology.

Brú na Bóinne, which is described as one of the world’s most important prehistoric landscapes, contains a number of tombs and monuments. The site’s tombs represent the largest assemblage of megalithic art in Western Europe, according to officials.

    That's really great. And at least if we discover human sacrifice does appear important in European paganism, as many suspect, then we'll appreciate Christianity all the more.

    But no matter how depraved the pagans were, we can still learn from them. The Greeks left amazing texts, that included much practical wisdom.

    If anything, learning about Socrates makes an atheist appreciate the need for Christianity in society, because Socrates was killed for undermining his society's mores. Ramz Paul made a similar post: https://twitter.com/ramzpaul/status/1019266500665004033

    And I'm no atheist, but I hope atheists do realise how we cannot "progress beyond" Christianity. They're just "progressing" off a cliff.
