A ship from perhaps 3,000 years ago, filled with people. Notice how clearly the heads are shown. Or could they be warriors wearing helmets?Photo: Private

When the experienced rock carving hunter Tormod Fjeld was driving his daughter Ada to a nearby location, the two of them decided to take a closer look beneath Kolsåstoppen, a hill in Bærum, Eastern Norway.
That was when they found something remarkable: magnificent ships carved into the rock.
Perhaps these carvings show people in Norway 3,000 years ago -- sitting in their ship, maybe even wearing helmets.
They also spotted a large footprint of the sole of a foot, as well as a hand with five thick fingers.
And then more ships appeared -- some carved upright, others upside down.

It was an ancient game of BATTLESHIP...............
Amazing find!
How can rock carvings in a cold, wet, freeze/thaw cycle part of the world survive? Rock crumbles in those conditions.
Nice glacial striations on that rock.
Obvious fake lol. Too many people on FR will fall for anything these days.
An awesome find. I get excited when I find a single arrow head. This tops them all.
.
Obviously an advert for Norwegian Cruise Lines...
That must be why there are no rocks up there.
That game wouldn’t have had any success if they’d named it “heavy cruiser”, “oiler”, or even “aircraft carrier”.
Or Dreadnaught...............
😁
I’ve never found so much as an arrowhead, but of course, precolumbian Michigan was a swamp.
Or Ned’s Draughts...
Our only goal will be the western shore
Any rock that is not porous does not crumble with freeze/thaw cycles. Flint is not porous, neither is obsidian. There are others.
