Fazed by a maze

(Mazes are puzzles that have been made for thousands of years).

Some mazes are made from living hedges and some from turf, stones and tiles. Big mazes are types that you can actually walk through.There is a famous maze of living hedge and at Hampton Court in England.

When entering a maze like this, place your hand on one wall and do not remove you hand so you can arrive at the centre. Some mazes are very difficult you can get easily lost.

In finland and sweden, mazes were once used in a unusual game. A young women would stand in the centre of a big maze. If a young man could find her he could carry her out and claim her as his girlfriend. Small mazes have been used as patterns on walls dishes and monuments.

Mazes are basically found in Europe and are usually found in very old large gardens of kings. To see mazes you have to look at them from a very high place. Today very few mazes are been created.
