A Jatulintarha ('Giant's Garden') stone labyrinth in Vihanti, inland northern Finland — one of the rare Finnish labyrinths found away from the coast. The Finnish name connects labyrinths to the Jotun (giants) of Norse mythology, suggesting pre-Christian ritual significance. Most Finnish labyrinths cluster on the Bothnian coastline; inland examples like Vihanti may mark ancient portage routes or sacred gathering sites. The inland placement challenges the dominant maritime interpretation of Nordic labyrinths. At Giza bearing 355.04°, 3,864 km from the Great Pyramid.
