DU Celtic Pagans: Help save the Hill of Tara

[rox63]

One of the most sacred and historically significant sites in Ireland is due to be bulldozed to build a new highway. Please help save the "Irish Stonehenge" from the bulldozers.

From TaraWatch.org:

"Nowhere else in Ireland is there a landscape that can claim the Tuatha de Danann, Celtic Gods and Goddesses, St. Patrick, Daniel O'Connell, Thomas Moore, heroes and High Kings from Fionn MacCumhail
to Brian Boru, an archaeological complex of temples, tombs, enclosures and henges spanning five millennia, and a continuous place at the centre of Irish spiritual, cultural, political and literary history, as part of it's fabric."

Disclaimer: I am not Irish, Irish-American or Pagan. But I have lots of friends who are, and friends who are archaeologists. They are all outraged at the prospect of this site being destroyed. I thought that DU's Pagan Community would be interested in this as well.

1. Shameful if they destroy this priceless piece of history!

There really is nothing that is sacred!
