The summer heat wave reveals a 5,000-year-old circle in Ireland

Severe heat waves in the UK and Ireland have led to the discovery of a giant ancient circle dating back about 5,000 years ago.

A drought in Ireland may have caused crops to wither, but it also brought a positive point, at least to historians.

At Bru na Boinne, the dead plant revealed a long forgotten circle, never seen for years.

Huge ancient circle.

This circle was discovered by photographer and author Anthony Murphy, who is controlling his unmanned aircraft near the site when he accidentally met it.

The circle is 150m in diameter, but the experts are not sure what it was created for.

Murphy wrote on his personal blog: 'Archaeologists will call this a rare discovery in life. The last time the same drought caused these characteristics to be visible in 1976 '.

Archaeologists are currently exploring the site, and the research leader Clíodhna Lionáin of Dublin University believes that perhaps this originated from Ireland's first farmers. He told Irish Times: 'Talking about the design of these buildings, they are excellent architects, engineers and astronomers. And also can be seen from the drawing here that they are also great painters. Although we don't know what this picture means, everyone here will be surprised by it. '

The discoverer and aircraft photographer, unmanned by Ken Williams, discovered on his personal blog: 'What we see seems so great that it is unthinkable. We went closer to observe the details, and we could see for sure that it was the color of the growing crop without any interference. What we see is below, in the soil layer, not on the plants'.
