A human being becomes the main character of the stone
image galleries. It means that some important shifts in consciousness and
vision of the world had happened with the ancient "painters". The images of hunted
animals, which had dominated for a long time in minds of people, become less
important.
The hard labour continues to be the basis of life.
That's why reindeers and mooses, sea animals - white whales, walruses, seals and,
probably, whales were placed on the canvases together with people.
Great amount of stone images shows us various instruments.
These are, first of all, boats and also harpoons, bows with arrows, speares and
probably, some hunting traps. The stone images of skis and skiers are the
most ancient not only in the North of Europe, but in the whole world.
