About Mythical Ireland

Mythical Ireland was established in March 2000 by author, journalist, astronomer and photographer Anthony Murphy. The website represents an ongoing journey into Ireland’s ancient past, casting new light on the island’s early history through archaeology, mythology, astronomy and ancient tradition.

At the heart of this exploration are the great 5,000-year-old megalithic passage tombs of Brú na Bóinne in the Boyne Valley. Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth are among the most extraordinary prehistoric monuments. Through film, photography, tours, podcasts and courses.
Anthony invites you to step into this ancient landscape and explore a past that still feels very much alive.
