winter solstice celebrations are being held across the globe today, marking the shortest day of the year

In Ireland, people gathered at the 5,000-year-old ruins in Newgrange, believed to be the remnants of a prehistoric burial chamber. Archaeologists believe it's the older cousin of Stonehenge -- 500 years older than some of Egypt's pyramids. After sunrise on the winter solstice, Newgrange's inner chamber floods with sunlight -- a phenomenon discovered by archaeologist Michael O'Kelly on this day in 1967.

"Suddenly this shaft of light came into the chamber and hit the back wall," his daughter Helen Watanabe O'Kelly told the BBC. "I remember being quietly moved -- it was like someone was speaking to you from thousands of years before. I still see it like a picture before my inner eye -- it was a golden light."
