You're standing in the rock carving area of Tanum, in south-western Sweden. Look closely at the rocks around you. Thousands of images have been carved into them, on about 600 panels. They date from the Nordic Bronze Age, roughly between 1800 and 500 BC, and in 1994 UNESCO made them a World Heritage Site.
