<bron13.htm> [Bronze Age Text]
At Fossum, Bohuslän, Sweden, there is
a
large inscription
that depicts scenes from the great
winter festival
called Thorri, held in the 4th month
of the Norse
6-month winter. These are some of the
vignettes.
Above, the symbol of Thorri formed from the
Tifinag letters th, r and n, repeated and arranged to
make a thunderbolt
design. Old Norse Thorinn =
"The Thorri festival."
Middle, ceremonies open at dawn when trumpet-
blowers summon the
people. The Tifinag letters are
interwoven with
the picture, and the word gamga is
represented by a
punning hieroglyph of footprints, also
pronounced as ganga.
The text reads R-R GANGA
L-D-R M-N, to be
read as Old Norse Arar ganga
ludramenn = "Early
morning the sound of trumpet-
blowers."
Below, a scene from the hockey or ball game, K-L
= Old Norse kula = "ball game." (Fell 1982).
