The very first reference.
One of numerous Neolithic (11,000–8500 BC) 'Sun' motif carvings at the Dowth Passage Tomb in Meath, Ireland.
How did he date that.
I would guess that he didn't but other people did. There's no doubt in my mind that carvings representing the sun existed a long, long time before Christianity.
Excerpt only.
Dowth Passage Tomb in Meath, Ireland.
Aengus was the son of Eochaidh Ollathair, the Daighda, High-king of Tara who reigned at the beginning of the sixth century B.C. and according to the Annals of the Four Masters he died at Newgrange in ‘year of the world’ 3450 (554 BC) and so Newgrange is Iron-age NOT Stone-age. It was built in the sixth century B.C. with metal tools, using horses and carts to haul and transport the approx. 200,000 tons of stones.
The age of the cairn is also confirmed by the astronomical alignment of the cairn with the Winter Solstice sunrise at this time - 600 - 550 BC.
Instrumentation.
AUTOHELM Personal Compass, made in England. Digital compass. This instrument has a digital display giving bearings, on Magnetic North, with an accuracy of ±1/2° due to the fact that it gives bearings in whole degrees only.
Methodology.
A reverse bearing was taken from a position approximately seven meters south-east of the outlier stone that is shown in the foreground in the two pictures below, which; at the very place on the stone (its top S-E corner) that was used for aligning the passage and roofbox with the Winter Solstice sunrise; has been cut and dressed, using metal tools. Since the instrument may be sighted in either direction, the reading was taken with it facing the operator, towards the sunrise position.
Results.
A bearing of 140° MN was taken. A calibration factor of -7° 19’ was calculated from the grid data on Ordnance Survey map #43 (Discovery Series), giving an azimuth of 132° 41’. According to F. Prendergast (1989), the Winter Solstice sunrise in 3,150 BC was at azimuth 133° 54’ ± 4’. The alignment is, therefore, 1° 13’ to the North of the Neolithic Winter Solstice sunrise position, corresponding to 2,217 years. The result is a date of 933 BC (± 1,000 years, due to the accuracy of the instrumentation).
With more accurate instrumentation this would give a correct reading of c. 550 BC, which would also corroborate the age of the cairn to have been built by Aengus (after whom it is named) and Eochaidh Ollathair - the Daighda, proving the accuracy and truth of some of the ancient Irish historical records, that have been discounted by the archaeologists in favour of their own theories based on unreliable radiocarbon dating. JAH.

And can go into far greater detail at any time period. As The Bible uses Soni lunar reckoning astronomy, not the gagorian calendar we use. This helps with the many thousands of prophecies as the moon; planets; stars; positions cannot be faked as there positions set datum's and can be checked.
Obviously interpretation is all important.
