Is this basically the origin story of the crop circle phenomenon? I would like to think so.

↟ Solarcross – The Sun is Rising ↟
This is a weather phenomenon so called 'Halo', that appeared in Vemdalen, Sweden in 2017 the 27th of December. When ice crystals in the atmosphere interact with sunlight in a certain way this incredible phenomenon can appear in the sky, like a sign from above. This particular Halo is very rare as it is surrounded by a 22-degree circle with two bi-suns + an upper tangent arc. Ice crystals in the form of long prisms also give rise to the vertical and horizontal rays that seem to emanate from the sun. You can also see the more unusual 46-degree circle furthest away.
This weather phenomenon can be the foundation of the solarcross symbol, and it's very likely that our Germanic and European ancestors have seen the very same phenomenon, embraced it into their culture and thus passed it on to the next generations 🜨

A small Anglo Saxon swastika mount from Ipswich, 5-7th Century. This variation is known as the Heart of Tursas (Tursaansydän) in Finland, believed to bring luck and protect against curses.
“Now the iron is hot. Nationalistic ideas are on the rise in this confused madhouse of internationalism. Needed now are people imbued with the Kalevalaic spirit who are able to bring unifying ideas from distant antiquity, lift minds out of the mire of materialism, and bring joy and invigoration to those struggling under the pressures of everyday life — especially the youth.”
— Hilja-Maria Niku, 1957.

Everyone has heard of the "American Dream" — but Finns, too, have a dream: a lakeside sauna (or one by the sea or a river; or at the very least access to a sauna).
And with 3.2M saunas in a land with 5.6M people, I'd say we're living the dream.
Instead of trying to explain to foreigners the meaning and value of sauna, I give you the words of a befuddled Swede from 1776:
“They even connect the sauna with their theology and think the sauna building is some kind of shrine.”

Did you know that the fragments of the Shigir idol were displayed in a completely false configuration up until 1914?
The leftover parts ought to have been a clue, but нет.
Photo on the left (colorized by me) from 1894 as far as I can tell.
Comparable traditions have existed in recent times among the Sámi. Stylistic similarities are found in spirit dolls of the Khanty, as well as in the Pohjankuru idol discovered in Finland (see side-by-side comparison).

Interesting how one of the favorite pastimes of people ten to twelve thousand years ago (or thenabouts) was carving meaningless scratches that could not possibly be writing yet look exactly like effin' ogham.
Top image is the lower part of the Shigir idol, bottom is mammoth ivory from Mezine, Ukraine.

Considering that this inscription at La Pasiega is 18,000 to 22,000 years old, the aforeposted examples of possible writing in the case of the Shigir idol and a mammoth ivory artifact from Mezine wouldn't even come close to being the earliest writing, if indeed that is what they are.
This cave painting at least would be a pretty-darn-tough sell as anything other than what it looks like.
