If you look carefully, it’s rather obvious what it is.
On the left (front) end of the thing, we can see it’s a giant snake with bench seats installed along its back.
So, it is obviously a form of pre-historic mass transit.

The bottom depictions seems to be a view from the inside of the vehicle.
It appears to be TWO reindeer harnessed to the front of the sled......................

Longships go back to that time? It just needs a mast.

Not sure how a rock carving can be dated. No living matter associated so no Carbon 14 to analyze. Also. “Once part of an island” implies higher sea level. Somebody inform Greta and Al.

I wonder if they let the apprentices carve on rocks and cheaper pieces of wood before being promoted to scrimshaw and the like.

Could be but not likely. There aren’t any animals pulling it, and they included animals harnessed pulling a cart/chariot.

THat is a ship—but no sails. Could be a big canoe.

Probably just 3000 year old Swedish porn pics.

I guess that’s possible. However it also looks like a viking ship. Amazing that that specific design has been around so long.

No animals pulling; pre-historic PETA outlawed it.
