This site is actually an ancient temple and it lights up with the rising winter-solstice sun! My family and I watched the live streaming of these celebrations this morning!<br \/><br \/>\ud83e\udea8Maeshowe in Scotland, built in 2,800 B.C, is another Neolithic monument where the central chamber aligns with the setting sun. <br \/><br \/>\ud83e\udea8Of course, Stonehenge, is one of the most famous ancient monuments. It was built in different stages between 3,000 B.C. &#8211; 1,520 B.C. The stone circle was built around 2,500 B.C. There is also a stone quite far outside the circle, called the Heel Stone that aligns during the setting sun of the winter solstice (and aligns with the rising sun of the summer solstice).<br \/><br \/>Today, our winter-solstice ritual is probably Christmas! On that note, I wish you cosy festive days ahead!\ud83c\udf84<br \/><br \/>(Sources: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/natural-disasters-and-environment\/winter-solstice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">History<\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/event\/Neolithic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Britannica<\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newgrange.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newgrange<\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.historicenvironment.scot\/visit-a-place\/places\/maeshowe-chambered-cairn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Historic Environment Scotland<\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.english-heritage.org.uk\/visit\/places\/stonehenge\/history-and-stories\/history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">English Heritage<\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.natgeokids.com\/uk\/discover\/history\/general-history\/stonehenge-facts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Geographic<\/a><\/span>)<br \/><br \/>If you are keen to do something for our planet with your kids at Christmas, why not do it playfully with <a class=\"uBRuLksiXRXJNxzCdmDLlNvbeHoNnTVInTsbWCI\" href=\"https:\/\/eco-rose.com\/fr\/educate-our-kids-about-eco-living\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-test-app-aware-link=\"\">EcoKids.<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s time.
