Hundreds of unique rock carvings from the Bronze Age have been discovered on a rock wall in Gnesta, which Sörmlandsbygden previously reported on.

The rock carvings, which were made about 3,000 years ago, are difficult to see with the naked eye and were discovered with the help of photographic technology where overlapping digital images are taken. The images are then processed in a computer that creates a strong focus that the human eye cannot achieve.

The rock carvings depict, among other things, horses, ships, and weapon figures.

It's about 40 weapons, making it one of the places in Sweden with the most weapon figures, says Rikard Blom at Sörmlands museum to P4 Sörmland.
