Source of the Spiral, Part 2

Just before traveling to Denmark we drove though Sweden. While there we visited the rock carvings in Tanum. I can't find the proof to back up my memory but somewhere I read that the many cup indentations were likely fertility symbols. Not necessarily in a human reproduction sense, although not excluding that, but in the broader sense of prosperity for the community.


A particularly beautiful section of petroglyphs shiny with the rain that fell during our whole visit.


Here a figure with a large hand holds many cups. These cup symbols were liberally scattered amongst the carvings.
