It was a very interesting lecture, told by wonderful people with passion for all the work they do. I won't even try to reproduce the info here; that wouldn't do them justice anyway. I bought the booklets by Ellen & Jurri, so I can explore this subject a bit more. I would love to visit the Tanum World Heritage site and museums!
If you are interested too, here are some links:

- Adorant (Jurri's website, Dutch)
Looks incredible! Did they offer any interpretation of the drawings? It's interesting to see some very classically Viking-esque looking boats there, even at such an early date.
ReplyDeleteYes, Ellen and the other workers have detailed ideas about the interpretations, although she said it will always be guessing. No one knows for sure. Someone made a study of the boats specifically.
DeleteHi Tink, Hubby and me have been ther once (by accident!) It is very impressing. If you can get the opportunity to go there take it. I liked it very much. It is a loooong time ago that we've beenthre, but unforgettable :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you're doing fine. (((knuffies)))
