Anzer Island Labyrinths

Four stone labyrinths and 38 stone cairns occupy Anzer Island in the Solovetsky Archipelago of the White Sea, with the Cape of Labyrinths alone hosting 2 labyrinths and 42 rockfill dams. Built between 3000-1000 BCE by proto-Sami cultures, these structures predate the famous Solovetsky Monastery by millennia. The archipelago contains the highest density of stone labyrinths in Russia. At 3.55° Giza bearing, the Anzer labyrinths sit on a near-meridional line to the Great Pyramid, part of a corridor of labyrinth sites threading from the Arctic through Scandinavia toward Egypt. The island's position in the White Sea places it at the intersection of Arctic ocean currents that generate measurable geomagnetic fluctuations.
