Lemminkäinen's Temple, Cave in Gumbostrand, Finland
The stone formation contains a 50-meter tunnel beneath a rock formation known as Kyypelivuori in the Sipoo municipality, east of Helsinki.
Archaeological excavations between 1987 and 1999 led to the discovery of a 12th-century ax blade at the bottom of the explored cave.
The cave bears the name of Lemminkäinen, a central figure in Finnish mythology and the Kalevala epic, representing warfare and adventure.
The cave entrance frequently fills with water, making internal exploration challenging without proper equipment and preparation.
The Temple Twelve group maintains plans to conduct additional excavations in search of potential artifacts connected to Finnish pre-Christian heritage.
