The fjordic landscape around Stavanger seems very old, and the rock carvings near Solbakk prove its age.
Obviously, in the Norwegian landscape which is not easily accessible, boats were of utmost importance for transportation, as well as for hunting and fishing. And in this part of the world, with scarce light for almost half the year, the sun is a very important element. The sky was seen as the ocean of the sun god, hence when the sun god travelled, he used a boat. Perhaps these carvings are remnants of old spring ceremonies, to celebrate the return of the sun after long, dark winters.
