The rock carvings in Tanum, in the north of Bohuslän, Sweden, are a unique artistic achievement not only for their rich and varied motifs (depictions of humans and animals, weapons, boats and other subjects) but also for their cultural and chronological unity. They reveal the life and beliefs of people in Europe during the Bronze Age and are remarkable for their large numbers and outstanding quality.
The real meaning of this image is unknown, however some authorities at UNESCO made an interesting observation by analyzing it as the image of the sun, which carried by two female, possibly Goddesses.
Scandinavian ancient people were sophisticated craftsmen and very competent travelers by water. Dates for the Art vary with the region. These images have been dated to roughly 1800BC, however they might be much older, since no real dating is possible.
Due to the size of the findings and complexity of the Art, the Tanum site falls under UNESCO World Heritage Convention.
