In his book, “The Newgrange Sirius Mystery”, James Swagger argues that ancient stonemasons possessed an advanced understanding of Astronomy, evident from stone-age megalithic tomb alignments and rock carvings. James will discuss important aligned ritual sites in Ireland and potential symbolic correlations he identifies between these sites and the Dogon people of Mali, Africa. His calculations reveal that the monuments align to various stars, planets and constellations. Some of these are the same planets and stars that were also important to the Dogon including Sirius, Venus, the Sun, the Moon
