Narvik rock carving
Narvik rock carving submitted by kenntha88 : i didnt know if you recieved the last picture of this rock carving, or if something went wrong, so I make another try. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This is a single rock carving of a moose or a raindeer, in the middle of the town of Narvik, inside a small forest area. It was discovered in the 1960's, and is dated to about 3000-4000 BCE.

There is a short footpath that leads to the carving. it is painted with red paint to make it more visible and is very easy to see.
