World heritage The rock-carvings in Tanum have the same status as the pyramids in Egypt or India’s Taj Mahal and have –like these – been made World Heritage sites by the UN. Almost 70 percent of the rock-carvings depict ships floating across the rocks. The rock-carvings were knocked in 3,000 years ago by the people of the Bronze Age. The famous rock in Vitlycke is more than 20 metres long and seven metres high. The motives are men with long legs lifting their axes towards the sky. But it’s not only wars and warriors that we meet. A man and a woman are embracing each other in love - or do they fear the giant holding a hammer above their heads? Magical. Ritual. A world heritage for eternity.
