       "The bronze age people of Europe were obsessed with the sun."I would be too if I lived in a place that got that dark with ice ages in distant cultural memory. This is a little like saying "The people of Hawaii were obsessed with the sea and lava"

       @futurebird People in Europe are still very much interested in how much the sun shines.They even install tablets on the roofs of their homes, which they say provide them with great power from the sun itself.But only if the sun shines, otherwise they are left with storebought great power, which they like far less.

       @futurebird @futurebird Sorry, in what European bronze culture, Sun was adored. I understand these people had some simbolic representation.I know Argar Culture in Southeast of Iberian Peninsule, archaeologists didn't discover nothing in relation of this and I can't remember other in Iberian Peninsule with this simbolism.

       @futurebird I can add that people living in Michigan now are also obsessed with the sun, if they can remember what the sun is.

       @futurebirdI doubt the ice ages were much of a cultural memory in the bronze age.By that point, the original hunter-gatherer population had been replaced at least twice over. Once by farmers from the Middle East, and once by proto-indo-european-speaking herders from Eastern Europe.
