rock carvings

Rock carvings don’t always announce themselves with drama - sometimes they’re just waiting under a thin skin of moss. That is exactly how a striking new cluster of images, believed to be around 3,000 years old, came to light beneath Kolsåstoppen in Bærum, eastern Norway. The discovery was made by experienced rock-carving hunter Tormod Fjeld while out with his daughter, Ada. What began as a quick look at the terrain turned into a find featuring “unbelievably beautiful” ship carvings, alongside a large footprint and a carved hand, motifs that raise fresh questions about belief, identity, and seafaring in the Nordic Bronze Age, reports Science Norway .
