The Loughcrew solar eclipse

Petroglyph carvings at Loughcrew Cairn Megalithic Monument in Ireland are interpreted as a solar-eclipse depiction.

A spiral-shaped carving is a depiction of a total solar eclipse — claiming that this might be “the oldest recorded eclipse” in human‐made art.

It pushes the record of humans representing a solar-eclipse event in symbolic/graphical form to the Neolithic.

This event is speculative and has limited astronomical existence.
