ACTIVITY

Based on the Sun Cult derived from the Bronze Age (min 33:29), (in which priests wear elaborate head dresses), the painted scene depicted and the metaphors, imagery and ideas you were able to gather, create first a myth, (in the subjunctive mood), that helps you to better understand the worldview of Bronze Age peoples from the Scandinavian region. Second, using the myth, along with the ritual of the dancer described above in item # 8, create a ritual that responds to the Sun cult of the Bronze Age among the Scandinavian people.
