Bronze age rock carvings at Fluberget at Revheim

Bronze age rock carvings at Fluberget at Revheim
Contest Without Prize (2021/05CWP) "Old or vintage"

The best example of bronze age rock carvings in the Stavanger area is Fluberget at Revheim, a few kilometers west of Stavanger.
It is thought that the site was a religious meeting place, with the carvings dating from 1800 to 500 years BC.
This archeological site is a low south-facing cliff about 200 metres from Hafrsfjord, and was discovered in 1879.
The ship or boat symbols are common in Scandinavian rock carvings and many are found here.
The hand symbols represent Gods who should not be directly portrayed. The meaning of some of the carvings is still not known.

Wow, I didn't know there were rock paintings that far south, I only know about the famous ones in Alta. These are similar in style- the red looks great against the rock textures.
