Kiviksgraven

The King's tomb in Kivik, also known as "Kiviksgraven," is a significant archaeological monument located near the village of Kivik in the Swedish province of Skåne. It is a Bronze Age grave, dating back to roughly 1400 BC, and is one of the largest and best-preserved graves of its kind in Scandinavia.

The grave consists of a large mound of stones, with a diameter of about 75 meters and a height of about 3.5 meters. Inside the mound is a burial chamber, constructed from large stone slabs. This chamber is especially remarkable for the well-preserved rock carvings that depict scenes from Bronze Age life, including humans, animals, boats, and geometric patterns.

The rock carvings inside the King's tomb in Kivik hold great archaeological significance as they provide insights into the religious and cultural beliefs of the Bronze Age people. They may portray scenes from rituals or mythic narratives, and are a valuable testament to the prehistoric art in Northern Europe.
