Tilia is the only existing and navigable representative of the Bronze Age boat types as depicted on the many rock carvings in Scandinavia. For many years, broadcasters have wanted to depict the prehistory of their respective countries, including, of course, the Bronze Age and, for some countries, also the Early Iron Age. In order for such a depiction to be complete, a representative of the ships/boats of the time must necessarily be included in the depiction.
This is where we come in.
Over the years, we and Tilia have participated in filming for TV films:
- Med båd til fortiden (By boat to the past) - the story of the ancient boat from Hjortspring Mose on Als, 2001
- Svenske helleristninger (Swedish rock carvings), 2004
The next four films all deal with the question of our origins in the three Scandinavian countries after the end of the Ice Age 10,000 years ago:
- Helleristninger på Bornholm (Petroglyphs on Bornholm), 2006
- Norske røter (Norwegian roots), 2010
- Historien om Danmark (History of Denmark), 2017
- De första svenskarna (The first Swedes), 2018
- Historien om Sverige (History of Sweden), 2023
