The ice melts to reveal 2,000 precious objects in Norway's highest mountain range

Over 2,000 amazingly preserved artifacts were found in Norway's highest mountain range.

These were discovered in turn over decades, dating up to 4000 BC (BC).

The first discovery was an arrow taken from the melting ice in Oppdal, Norway in 1914. In the summer of the 1930s, melting ice caused more and more artifacts to be discovered. In the 1990s, archaeologists continued to see many arrows, darts and traces of animals.

Then, the warm summer in Norway in 2006 began to reveal many better preserved artifacts.
