Very nice mural! I hope to visit Drogheda in October when I stay in Dublin.

[@Jeerbarrel]

fantastic! Thanks for the tour.

[@tipptop9]

I'm always amazed how a lot of these attractions are hidden or unknown, I guess you really have to walk every street of a town to see for yourself. You could probably count on one hand the amount of people who would recommend you visit those murals!

[@learn2rideVIDEOS]

They are treasures for a King or Queen to find.

Are there Mesolithic sites in the Boine area?

[@royalhilltararanger3947]

There's a standing stone oh I mean bin☀️

[@NatsGhost]

Lol! Our modern standing stones are plastic bins full of plastic bins. In a space encyclopedia there will be speculation as to what these strange bins meant to the extinct inhabitants.

[@macnacailli]

I notice the constellation of Orion gets conflated with a lot of different gods and heroes, including CúChullainn, Fionn, Dagda, and now Amergin. Do you have any videos that describe or explain this conflation? I just don't see a lot to support it in the literature, but I'm open to new ideas.
