The Trundholm sun chariot (Danish: Solvognen) is a Nordic Bronze Age artifact discovered in Denmark.
The sculpture was discovered with no accompanying objects in 1902 in a peat bog on the Trundholm moor in Odsherred in the northwestern part of Zealand, (approximately 55°55′N 11°37′E / 55.917°N 11.617°E / 55.917; 11.617).
The Cooke disc has similar fittings to the Trundholm chariot, suggesting that it was also originally connected to a sun horse and mounted on wheels.
[18][19] The chariot has been interpreted as a possible Bronze Age predecessor to Skinfaxi,[20] the horse that pulled Dagr, the personification of day, across the sky.
The sky god Taranis is typically depicted with the attribute of a spoked wheel.The Rigveda in Hindu scriptures also reflects the mention of the Sun chariot.
Her spirit was the bridal car; the covering thereof was heaven: Bright were both Steeds that drew it when Surya approached her husband's home.
[21] In Greek mythology, the solar deity Helios was said to wear a radiant crown as his horse-drawn chariot raced across the sky, bringing daylight.
