This paper is an attempt to perform comparative analysis of one of the basic and most intriguing images of ancient rock art (humans and human-like creatures) portrayed on rocks of Karelia, Kola Peninsula, Norway and Sweden. These images are an indication of the rich spiritual world of the people who had inhabited Northern Europe 7-3 Ka BP. We consider important problems of their chronology, style and meaning. The author introduces new petroglyphic materials collected from the territory of Karelia over the past 10-15 years into the scientific discourse.
