Ireland's burial mounds hold many mysteries

Today, more than 300 such ancient mounds are scattered across northeastern Ireland. The most intriguing are called passage tombs, owing to a long corridor leading to a central cross-shaped chamber. Historians long believed the dead were left in these chambers to begin their journey to the Other World.
