Beginnings
Archeological evidence suggests that humans may have arrived in Denmark as early as 50,000 BC, though the first permanent settlements were probably not established until much later, around 12,000 BC, when the ice sheets which had previously covered the country began to recede, and nomadic hunters arrived in pursuit of the herds of reindeer that grazed the tundra. As the climate gradually warmed and the reindeer headed north, a Stone Age village culture developed, until by around 4000 BC agricultural settlements covered the country. Bronze was introduced from southern Europe around 1800 BC - the richness of some pieces, such as the bronze sun chariot now on display in the National Museum, suggests that even at this early date there was contact between Denmark and the Mediterranean cultures of Crete and Mycenae. From this period also come the famous Danish lurs , curved metal horns which were blown to call villagers to meetings - a statue of two lurs blowers stands outside Copenhagen's Radhus.
