Newgrange Passage Tomb Vs Notre Dame

Newgrange Passage Tomb and the Notre Dame, Paris, are in complete different settings. The tomb being out in the country of Ireland on top of a hill that overlooks a river valley while the Notre Dame is in a dense city area with a large public square at its entrance. But both of these structures are both near a body of water: The Newgrange Passage tomb overlooks the Boyne River while the Notre Dame, Paris is right on the Siene River. It is hypothesized that the people who built the Newgrange Passage tomb used the Boyne River for the construction by taking boats upstream to where the kerbstones were and attaching the stones underneath the boats during low tide and then were taken back downstream to the tomb during high tide (Newgrange). The Seine River in France was and is a huge mode of transportation that runs right behind the cathedral still today that runs through the entire city of Paris and all of its arrondissements.

It was always undergoing transformations and structural changes on the inside and out. This is unlike the Newgrange Passage tomb, which is a Neolithic megalithic construction that dates back to 3100 B.C (Newgrange). All of the work on the tomb dates back to around the same time showing that the tomb was completed and not worked on anymore after its completion. Although there is evidence of structural change it is hypothesized to be from the affects of gravity doing work on the materials over the long period of time that the tomb has
