labyrinth
A pathway with one way in and one way out, and therefore not considered a maze. The labyrinth was invited much earlier than the maze, dating back more than 4,000 years ago. These pathways are found all over the world in several different designs. They have been utilized in a variety of ways including religious ceremonies, meditation, imprisonment, and even play areas for children. Photo from Newport, Rhode Island, 2014. (Kremer, 2024) 2.
