Today, about ten million people around the world have a great knowledge that there is a mysterious and only image of the Uffington White Horse, which is located in England. In the large and uniquely beautiful County of Oxford, on the steep hillsides, huge pictures of people and horses are carved.
Among all these unique and no less amazing paintings from afar, you can see the image of the White Horse, the length of which reaches about 110 meters, and the width of this great creation is 30 meters.
The most unusual thing about this beautiful image is that the horse has a muzzle that looks like a beak and has far different limbs of an ordinary animal. The painting of the Uffington Horse is considered one of the ancient monuments and is observed by the state protection.
The White Horse Rise, known to the entire planet, is written in ancient records back in the 1070s. Presumably, the Uffington white horse was carved at the end of the 5th century, because at that time the white horse was a symbol of the Saxon conquerors, although other scholars argue that this exclusive painting appeared after the victory over the Danes in 871.
Quite recently, modern scientists have confirmed the fact that the White Horse was created during the Iron Age, that is, approximately in 300 - 600 years. ad.
The image of the White Horse has become the subject of many legends in England. One of these legends tells that the well-known hill on which the image is carved is called the Dragon's Hill and it is not a horse that is carved on it, but a dragon that was defeated by Saint George on this hill. The second legend tells that this hill used to be a place for making horseshoes, and that Wayland himself, the blacksmith of the gods, shod this white horse. If you believe this legend, then leaving the horse and one penny next to it, then surprisingly the horse will be shod.
Some scholars believe that this picture is a symbol of the "divine horse" of the Celts. It was this horse that was worshiped in ancient times by the tribe of the Celts.
