[Bronze Age Text]
|
(CLICK to Enlarge) At the
end of the Neolithic period Scandinavia was occupied by farming people, and
plowing became possible with the availability of draft animals. The upper Petroglyph, in Bronze Age
style, is from Denmark. However, at
Woden-lithi's site in Peterborough, Ontario, ca. 40 ft. north of the main
sun-god figure, there are two compositions, one of which is shown below the
Danish example. This Canadian
Petroglyph seems to indicate a plowman, though no draft animal was known in
Canada. Woden-lithi's purpose seems
to have been to inform and instruct, by representing a Scandinavian scene and
a suggestion that a search be made in America for suitable draft animals
(Fell 1982). |
