The excavation of the temple was done from funding by Aer Lingus (Ireland’s commercial aviation) and Bord Failte (Ireland’s tourism board). The quartz stone is now lost... but we must be grateful that MJ and others recorded it by photographing it in place. He said that there was space for two such stones and that he only found one but that there were scratches that indicate that there was a second block of quartz.
So, we know that Dagda’s Temple was designed so that the Sun on the morning of the shortest day would rise and shine through the roofbox into the chamber 66 foot away. It did this through the two quartz blocks. This would modify the energy of the sunbeam. Think of the energy from the ‘Sun as dc’ or direct current and think ‘quartz making it into ac’ or alternating current and you can realise that this means switching of the current from direct to alternating current. Or you could make it even more simple by thinking of the battery (dc) in an ordinary wrist watch and the tick/tock (ac) it makes = direct into alternation through quartz.. Dagda did this solar engineering in ancient times at the Temple that he built. These days there is an iron bar instead of quartz in the roofbox for anti access purposes but Dagda’s Temple was designed to work with a modified sunbeam

Oued Djerat (Tassili N'Ajjer),
Algeria,
The Oued Djerat draining the Fadnoun plateau towards the North is one of the classiv rock art localities of the Sahara, known since the nineteen thirties following the discoveries of Lieutenant Brenans. The numerous engravings of large wild animals (giant buffalo, elephants, rhinoceros, giraffe, hippopotamus) were systematically published by Henri Lhote in two massive volumes (Les gravures rupestres de l'oued Djerat, Tassili-n-Ajjer I-II, Mémoires du C.R.A.P.E. Vol. 25, Alger, 1976). Despite being well known, it isvisited very infrequently as the valley is somewhat out of the way, and requires a long walk to reach the engravings. In November 2014 we made a short exploratory visit, but due to the shortage of time had to leave nearly half of the valley unexplored. This time the plan is to do a camel supported trek along the full length of the valley at a leisurely pace.

Another part of the Atlantis story perhaps?
