Have you yet visited Finland? If not, then perhaps you should. I'm not sure if you're aware, but Finland has a lot of prehistoric monuments that were very important to the ancient Finns. In the pic for example, we can see the Finnish "Stonehenge", or "Käräjämäki" ("The court hill") as it is known in Eura, Finland. It is very beautiful as the stones are set in a circular formation. What the ancient peoples did here, is not known to the modern man. Quite fascinating, isn't it?
>What the ancient peoples did here, is not known to the modern man. okay I get that but are you at least staging pretend-rituals for us tourist? preferably involving alcohol of course
Anthony Richardson
Finland is one of my top countries, I often go there for hiking/camping.
Ayden Bennett
I havent just visited Finland, I once accidentally invaded Finland during my time in the Air Force.
Josiah Robinson
WE WUZ CELTS'N SHIET
Aaron Ortiz
>comes hiking to finland when norway is closer
Luke Williams
We also have many naturally formed stone sights. This is Tapion alttari (Tapio's altar), which is a boulder sitting on 3 smaller rocks. Very peculiar, isn't it?
Asher Edwards
both very common iron age grave monuments in northern europe
David Smith
Finland has more forest.
Ryan Jones
This is a "pee stone" in Kurikka. The story tells that a Swedish king Adolph Frederick stopped by this rock in 1752 and peed on it. They put this plaque to commemorate this particular event. Who said history isn't fun? It is also very important to remember past events.
Isaiah Reyes
I would rather visit Evora than some frozen shithole
Isaiah Reyes
also lakes and older soil
Jace Barnes
Here is Pirunpesä ("The Devil's nest") in Kärsämäki ("Snouthill"), Finland. It is a big boulder split in two. It looks very much like the scene in the Hobbit where Gandalf split a rock in two in order to save Bilbo and the Dwarves from the stone trolls. Quite cool in my opinion.
Asher Cook
howling at this thread
William Rogers

Jace Cruz

Nicholas Peterson
Not only we have rocks, but B - E - A - R - S as well
Noah Morgan
Finland has water and air
Visit Finland bls
Easton Adams
This is kummakivi, the Strange Stone, in Ruokolahti.
Wow, they actually managed to move some random, unprocessed rocks into a circle? What a monument.
Evan Gutierrez
I was in Finland 3 times and I am learning finnish now and planning to move there desu
Andrew Carter
Truly incredible. Jaw-dropping even.
Jace Johnson
Well, you definitely can drop some jaws with those rocks
Jason Perry
Remind us again of the neolithic monuments you have in Norway.
Seriously, I dont know any but I am interested. We have these Jätinkirkko, I heard they have something similar in Sweden, do you also have these?
Zachary Baker
Concrete proof that Sweden brought history to Finland
I'm saving this picture pronto
Nolan Gray
Like this
Logan Ortiz
It was constructed quite early in 18th century
Robert Gonzalez
Memes were strong even in those days.
Joshua Wilson
This is actually ancient finnish spaceship landing platform. Remarkable architectural feat. Here's a prehistoric missile silo.
Eli White
>Wow, they actually managed to move some random, unprocessed rocks into a circle? What a monument. We do this to keep rednecks (and now terrorists) from driving across grass or into parks.
Juan Sanchez
Can someone like me visit finland?
I promise I won't rape anyone.
Isaac Lopez
We support Israel over here and you will probably see Israeli flags everywhere. Is that a problem for you?
Brandon Barnes
no
Ian Roberts
You would go as a local these days in some areas.
Landon Richardson
As long as you bring some of those petrodollars
Xavier Gray
hmm I thought the only immigrants in finland were somalis? I don't look somali nor am I very dark-skinned. Oh well whatever.
Sorry I am not saudi, I am egyptian but I was merely born in Saudi Arabia))
Grayson Powell
Everything in Finland is drenched in pigs grease.
Kayden Flores
>not having a stone over a stone over a stone
Ryder Gonzalez
I am not muslim.
Logan Perry
You are more than welcomed!
Luke Ward
Sorry but I have Raynaud's and I would get complications if I ever live in a very cold country like Finland.
Asher Richardson
We have very big boulders too. This is Kukkarokivi ("Wallet stone") in Turku. The story tells about two giants named Killi and Nalli, who got into an argument with a local priest. Killi threatened to throw a boulder on the local church and destroy it. But when he went to find a good boulder to throw, and eventually found the Kukkarokivi, he couldn't find his way back to the church anymore. He then angrily threw the boulder into Ruissalo, where it still stands.
Alexander Scott
Are you not entertained?
Oliver Young
No thanks. More doesn't mean better. Eastern Norway has very much identical forests, with better terrain.
Ethan Clark
I live 5 minutes from the Finnish border. >haparanda
David Williams
This is Lalli's crying stone. It is said that after Lalli killed bishop Henry, he escaped here and lived nearby this boulder, and cried so much that the rock is still moist of his tears.
Brody Sanders
I sometimes go to cry there too.
Luis Gray
tourists only mohammed, ofc you are not welcome to live here
Nicholas James
ah yes, who could forget the nondescript pile of rocks in the forest?
Dylan Parker
maybe this is just weird to me because hurricanes are a daily occurrence here but how do those rocks not get blown off balance by wind
Gabriel Gutierrez
standing stones? in EUROPE? no fucking WAY dude I gotta visit finland NOW
Caleb Foster
were the huge sword statues in binland or not
James Morales
>went to Somija >go to your castle >ooooh aaah pretty n stuff, history n stuff >need to take a leak >go to the bathroom, there ONLY IN RUSSIAN cyrillic is written >"DO NOT STAND WITH YOUR FEET ON THE TOILET" >had a healthy kek >grandmother was a first responder during russian occupation, there were several times when `larger` russians had porcelan stuck up their arses after an unsuccesful squat on the loo

Ayden Foster

Michael Diaz
Heres very old Finnic rock carving statue presenting human face, under it chin is wallpaintings, shame oldest of them are now under a water
Evan Morris
>Quite fascinating, isn't it?
No.
Isaiah Hernandez
Because they are really fucking heavy
Adam Fisher
I would like, but I don't want to get beaten up by local finnish gangs because I get mistaken for a refugee from middle east
Colton Cook
>being so autistic you can't even recognize ironic shitposting
Jordan White
Sounds like a good time, glad you liked it.
Cameron Williams
Are there any runestones in Finland?
Easton Reed
Not him btw. Depends on what you define as monuments. I know we have loads of stone carvings where
There also many stone game traps up in the mountains, but those are not exactly monuments.
Cooper Jenkins
only broken parts you fucking nigger and you know why
Nicholas Brown
Yes
Chase Bennett
thats clearly ugric handwork
Gabriel Cruz
No. Did some old Swede vandalize them in ages past? Did some old Swedes bring over fragments?
Grayson Hall
Made me feel desu.
meh
Andrew Russell
It's Komsa, so 100% Germanic through and through.
Colton Lee
makes me think...
Joseph Miller
you wandalized pretty much all our rocktyped history you could find at +1350, sunked and destroyed holy places and runestones, builded churches over our sacred ritual places and turned our god Perkele and sacred places hiisi's into cursing and negative words
This is Ollinkivi ("Olli's rock"). It stands next to a road, and a story tells that it will collapse on any traitor passing it. It has not collapsed on anobody yet. Very interesting indeed.
Daniel Nelson
Im glad to be Karelian wich could save pretty much history on many different aspects, even more glad to see sweden rottening nowdays, karma deserves you fags right
William Anderson
You are Sweden thus i have been there
Hudson King
Dont be like that.
Isaiah Smith
Not really, Sweden is absolutely degenerate these days.
Jason White
Oh you are one of *those* Finns.
Ryan Stewart
Begone, this thread is bigger than your squabbles.
Anthony Parker
I only visit countries with prostitutes if you have legal prostitutes then I may consider it love sex hate talking simple as
Aaron Brown
fug of, its not your boipussing selling thread either
Easton Lewis
We are different posters. And you are probably those swedes who say that "Finland is just a social construct, it's really Sweden"
Karelian pride my brothers. We came from Russia and stayed unmixed with Swedus.
Brayden Miller
>when a drunk and/or mentally ill person starts talking to you about nonsense
Get help.
Brody Morgan
This is Kotakivi ("Hut stone") in Seinäjoki. It was a hideout for some Finns during the Great Northern War (or Greater Wrath as it is known in Finland). The Russians never found the Finnish peasants hiding under this mighty rock. Truly amazing.
Alexander Ward
No? I was just having a bit of fun making what I thought was obvious joke on how Sweden and Finland have this silly superiority complex with each other before you went full on tardrage.
Daniel Turner
Post more rocks.
Jayden Lewis
>when retard comes to cry to you about nosense gtfo brainlet useful idiot
Jonathan Rivera
>We came from Russia
Thus you need to go back.
>and stayed unmixed with Swedus.
Only Fennoswedes are a mixed breed.
Evan Davis
Get help.
Kevin Turner
That's right. Udmurts are god-tier in comparison to Swedus with speech impediment.
Colton Adams
All fennoswedes aren't even mixed or ethnically "swedes" many of them just switched their family name to swedish when they got some kind of important job. Same thing during fennomania when it was cool to be as finnish as you could get, many fennoswedes switched their names to finnish, like my family from mothers side. That way we are "mixed" but intermarriages have been also more common than many think.
Daniel Jenkins
This is Pirunpesä (another "Devil's nest") in Pori. It is a massive boulder broken into smaller pieces by weathering and erosion. It has a 70 meter long cave, and a hiker was injured here in 2016 when he fell into a small pit.
Only informative discussions about rocks and boulders from here on, please.
Jonathan Walker
Russian Finno-Ugrics are crypto-Slavs that are heavily mixed with native Siberians. Finnics (Finns, Estonians, Livonians, Ingrians, Karelians etc.) are the superior branch of the Finno-Ugric group, of which Finns are the superior subclade.
Ayden Cooper
From all the places to hide, they chose that lmao
