Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Many fascinating archaeological findings have been made in Sweden, but when it comes to petroglyphs, this is one of the biggest discoveries in a long time.
Not only are the recently found petroglyphs large in size, but they are also unusual due to their vertical shapes, making it much easier for scientists to date the prehistoric drawings.

The discovery was made in the Kville parish in Tanum municipality, Bohuslän, Sweden. The unearthed rock carving panel is 15 meters long and consists of about 40 figures. These are thirteen ships, nine horses, seven human-like figures, and four chariots.
The petroglyphs were not detected before because they are located on a pasture covered in moss, making the ancient drawings more or less invisible. When scientists inspected the ground they noticed a small part of the ship petroglyph hidden beneath the moss, and they started to investigate further.
