soliloquyinthedark:Ancient European Rock Art in Alta, Finnmark, NorwayMore than 6000 prehistoric rock carvings have been found on several sites around the municipality of Alta in the northern region of Norway. The earliest rock carvings date to around 4200 BCE and the most recent ones to 500 BCE. Norway was inhabited by hunter-gatherers at this time and thus the art features mostly local animals, like reindeer and bears, and activities such as hunting and fishing. -- source link
