"Pick on!"

The symbols together say "pick on", since two picks are the verb.

Trials with reindeer?

Here we may ask if this is the first speculation about using animal power. On the other side some tribes used the Rein or The Elk as draft animal in the night sky. The double act is up to their way of reasoning in stages. In Sumerian thinking there should be three steps before reaching the wet soil usable for growing.

Metal-work

In normal logic the lined area is stable material and perhaps metal. There is also a PA-symbol on the area. The oval symbol has the meaning "KA I BAN" and the hand is also urging for work on the metal or whatever it is.

Ga up Ma

"Ga up Ma" is the meaning of the negative hands urging Mother Earth to get open. In the woods around Högsbyn are finds of green stone used for axes and there is some finds of copper too. In Egypt Isis was the goddess of mining in areas with suitable mountains.

Hand Era

The Hand Era began in Egypt 1159 BC when they adjusted their astro-calendar due to the precession. Some temples had surely used the same fix-stars since ca 3100 BC but it was out of date with a month when they made the change. With our signs the cardinal points of sky became Aries, Cancer/Crab, Libra/Boötes and Capricorn. We surely got the hand in trade with the Phoenicians. However, this hand is not of the type.

Hand with horse 

These are cut hands from the Wood in Högsbyn and from last millennium BC. We see a horse that in many places replaced Leo. Above is a little figure that may be an ear or a tree. The three hands maybe are showing they followed the hand in three termini. It is the same method as when Egyptians followed four Khnums or four Bulls.

Tree or ear?

In Högsbyn is at least one cut ear and a cut hand. In the Woods are half a dozen and the rock-carvings there are generally from the era of Hand, Ram, Eagle and maybe Libra.

In Bohuslän and Norway are several carvings with one tree and in Skälv, Östergötland is a composition with four trees. Deuteronomy 016:021. Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee.

This thesis is aiming at the custom in Canaan to have two trees or Asheras on each side of the Baal altar. Sometimes they transformed it to a pillar and that is surely the origin of the European Irminsul and Nordic "bopåle". It seems they moved the beginning of season to April/May to fit Nordic conditions. Maybe they did it already during the Hand Age but latest in Iron Age when growing crops became common.

TA UR

Under the summer-ship at the Ronar Spit we find this TA UR means "take out".

TU MAIPA

Two Mights in soil do the work. The little stroke in the heel seems to mean period and we see it in several other cases.

 HA UR IN HEEL

This assembly is from the summer side of rock 4. The footprints look like the reference footprints with a marked toe in the left foot. On the side are the symbols HA UR meaning "take out" and it means perhaps midsummer.

 Year halves

These reference feet are from rock 1. The left foot is marked in the toe. The centre line is a little bend like the oblique lines on the time-wheels.

HA UR

In Trollungebyn we find this season date which also read HA UR.

EK UR GE

In Swedish the syllable and preposition UR has two meanings. They are either "to take out" or something original and the syllable may be used to express that. That means comparison with a local time-space or an original time-space. For the astro-symbolism the date about 4200 BC is the ur-time referred to a zero cross on the ecliptic for the actual four cardinal points at the time.

Then this EK UR KE/GE could be understood as an original point or a time to "give out". The third possibility is the establishment of a square with reference points.

UREK in combinations

A corner or an angle is a break point as well as the spoke on a time-wheel. When we realise that the original square was reality we also see that.

Symbols like these are in several places. They tell either about a time in the ritual or about a reference in sky, or on earth about the astro-symbolism. Their time-space had these three dimensions.

EK/EG

It has four corners and they have a name. In Scandinavian languages we still say "four corners of weather", when we mean cardinal points. We still use expressions like "turning point". In Swedish edge = EGG or originally EGEG. Everyone knows that the world has four corners ... and is squared? We always hear chat from the corners. EK is a weaker word than KE.

KE/GE

This symbol is very common although it is normally in the agglutinated symbols. Probably placenames with the suffix INGE or IGE = "give in" are the oldest and like a dative telling that the settlement worked in the name of a certain god. The main gods had surely many synonyms so there could be mostly the same gods in a large area. In Västergötland seems to have been three archetypes: the male, the female and the twins. The root KE is also in the word ken = to recognize.

The place on the rock 1 may suggest this be the Urn symbol of storing after harvest and in sky above the Serpent head.

ER in UR

The place on the rock 1 may suggest this be the Urn symbol of storing after harvest and in sky above the Serpent head. Read "is in Urna" understood the asterism at Ramadan.

TE in UR

Maybe this should be an open urn with a TE in it. TE = to do. The symbol is the upper body of the harvest man at rock 5. On the Ronar Spit it is up and down before the harvest time.

 KER in Urn

"Give in the urn" tells this spring symbol at Trollungebyn. Urn and other pots were stores for everything at the time.

Harvest time

On the Ronar Spit the harvest ship ends in this stern head, that is a footprint with an open heel.

 End of season

On the Law the round for the growers ends in this figure.

Harvest time 

This is from the round at Evenstorp and it is clearly harvest. Then we can state that a footprint with an open heel is used in this case. The Ramadan is usually about the same time. It is only natural "to take out" something as an idea of time.

High boot

We see the high boot in Sumerian symbolism and it is the symbol of Hercules. He is the big man "who strikes well" in Celtic. In Hittitian symbolism the boot is part of the throne and in a word "round". We should understand it as the force of the throne. This boot is at harvest on rock 4.

TRI BAN

We could read this symbol at rock 4 "touche the orbit" and then referring to the lowest moon in the year. It seemingly rolls low for three days.

More examples of "three on", "three in the ban", "three is".

The hook

We can read the message is "to hook". They used it at Ramadan when the moon is seemingly hooked out to align a sun year and moon year. On the calendar in Skepplanda we see some cattle after the hooking. We could understand it as "now begin the cow half year".

 Ban-i(n)-ban

This symbol is near the idea when two orbits = ban crosses. Some are made in the poetic shape that a bigger sun ship carries a small moon boat. We see this idea in many places.

TRIBANKE 

On our oldest calendar at Dalbergså we find this, which surely is on the same theme.

 …………..

TRIBANKE is a method with three bans included or taken into account from the Law.

KE i(n) BENBEN

We see crossed bones on several places also in Bohuslän. We see the symbol as a tool and method. In Egypt it was a cross to aim at the north pole but also the four cardinal points. When we connect them to the myth of Isis, we remember that they spread out Osiris’ bones, which are the symbols of the threshed corn. Here one bone is bigger than the others, i.e. with some stress on. Then KE in BEN BEN is perhaps the solution.

Time in KAKA

KA in KAKA = time in Kaka is later known as the Olof’s kaka and harvest. This symbol is at harvest on the Evenstorp carving

 ………..

"Geud in MAPA" could be understood as the corn in the store. The mythic explanation is that before ca 1900 BC the fix star Auriga was not visible the entire year. That means that the fertility was in the wane. The original myth says for 70 days. On some calendars they mark the winter with a full cut footprint meaning the same. The symbol is above the harvest ship on the Ronar Spit.

 ………….

Perhaps this symbol tells about seeking indoors to the fire. Probably it was forbidden to use open fire in summer.

HU

On rock 28 this is picturing the autumn season.

……….. .

On the Law gave this symbol the word "hood" telling that it rises at winter solstices. Almost the same words they used in Egypt.

More HU-symbols from Vänersnäs, rock 16 and rock 4.

LIKE in HU

The inner symbol read "like" and they used it when aligning time with the real establishment. Since it is in the HU-symbol it might be the moon year aligned.

Working season

The other has an additional stroke meaning something ongoing. In this case it is "the work or the worker" and corresponding to the Sumerian Enkidu "the first to do".

Winter half begins/ second begins

A two-stroked footprint has at least two meanings. The normal is as sign for the winter half year or "the other/ the second". This symbol is from rock 1 and above the Winter Adda.
