I agree with your removal of the text Wiglaf. (I was the one that added the last paragraph about "they may depict something else").

I am actually a little sceptical about the authencity of some of the carvings. They have existed here for at least 2,000 years -- what says that no one during that time would try and imitate them? I know I would have.

I have been to Tanumshede and have never seen a fjord nearby (unless you consider 10 kilometers nearby), neither have I seen the mention of "fjord" in any of the literature I acquired while at Tanumshede or the Vitlycke Museum there. Of course. some people prefer to revert before discussing, although I personally prefer to discuss before reverting. Fred-Chess 21:30, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

1) If you check out a map, you'll find a fjord nearby, close to the "Tanum road". Are you certain that there aren't petroglyphs along the fjord)?

2) The land has been constantly rising since the Ice Age. Are you sure that they were not carved along a contemporary fjord?

3) It was not a revert, as you may notice if you check the edit.--Wiglaf 21:33, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that they were carved along a contemporary fjord (no longer due to land elevation), but if so they should be mentioned as such. I don't think there are carvings along the current coastal line because the land was under sea level 2000 years ago.

Furthermore, the Tanumshede World Heritage Area stretches from Tanumshede down south, and does not cover the coastal area.

Then I will change the wording accordingly.--Wiglaf 22:18, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
