Detail from a Bronze Age ship Petroglyph originally published
by the Sjöfartsmuseum (Halldin 1941).
The Tifnag
inscription reads clockwise to yield an
archaic Nordic text matching Old Norse kogge
hval, while the large letters BR area relic of late Neolithic hieroglyphs
depicting a buckler, bukla, and a
ring, hringr. Thus, the first of which became the
Tifinag letters, were originally to bead as a punning simulation of words
meaning, "thrust out [to sea] at launching.” Thus, Fell (1982) believed
that the whole inscription is probably a memorial to the launching of the
seagoing ship Leviathan. |
