The true labyrinth was in Egypt! It’s completely flooded and still unexplored. Makes sense as many Greek philosophers and scholars would vacation to Egypt

Is it known why they built such an impractical and confusing palace?

I know it's probably just the correct way to say it, but the way you say Knossos takes me back to Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I loved Kassandra!

Bit of a topic of interest for me. I wouldn't present this as "the actual fact" since it's a very debated topic in the bibliography, but even those who support the theory mostly stand on the side of the myth being inspired by later interpretations of the palace ruins, not from the palace itself, which stood over five centuries before the first records we have of the myth.

1000 rooms? That must have made for a mad dash to find a bathroom.

Yk from a Minecraft standpoint, this is exactly how I build my castles lmaoo just trying to make it more interesting and dynamic so it’s not so doctors office and uniform. Idk maybe they just wanted it to be interesting

didn’t the archaeologist rebuild the palace how he thought it was built using the materials he found? there’s no evidence that it actually looked like that

reminds me of the Winchester House in San Jose, CA..door after door, stairs leading to nowhere, an interior maze. Mrs. Winchester was haunted and believed she had to continue to build forever. another myth

Also, the restoration of Knossos and its frescoes relies heavily on Sir Arthur Evans' own imagination rather than strict archaeological evidence.

That story is also where the word “clue” came from which was originally spelled “clew” which was a ball of thread.
