The mystery of the South Sea Labyrinth

Ancient Greek legends

Legend has it in ancient Greek mythology that the god Dedarus once built a huge palace for King Minoans. This palace is the famous Minoan Palace, and it is said that the interior of this palace has an extremely complex structure. Nearly a thousand doors connect the various parts of this palace. As long as someone goes in, they will not be able to come out for a lifetime, and even God will be helpless. This palace, hence the name of the South Sea Labyrinth.

The imaginary Minoan Palace

Since much of the geographical description of this place in Greek mythology coincides with reality, some experts believe that this Minoan palace may really exist in our world. However, the legendary description of this geographical location is still too general and must be explored after a long period of effort.

Discovery of the Minoan Palace

Years later, an archaeologist named Evans searched for a mysterious hieroglyph on the island of Crete, and while touring, he stumbled upon what appeared to be a remnant on a distant hill. He believes that the environment is almost exactly the same as described in Greek legends. People familiar with geography know that the Greek island of Crete is the largest island in the Aegean Sea, on this island, where the Minoan civilization lives, and its area is enough to build a legendary Minoan palace.

A relic that Evans stumbled upon

Sure enough, on mount Knossos on the island of Crete, a huge palace was really discovered. Preliminary surveys reveal that the area of this palace reached a staggering 20,000 square meters. The palaces are divided into two parts, the palace on the west side is a two-story small building, while the palace on the east side consists of 4 floors. From the calculations, it is very likely that there are thousands of rooms in this palace!

Evans was taking pictures at the time

Originally, this palace was built before 2000 BC, about 300 years after the palace was built, it was affected by the earthquake, most of the palace collapsed, the Cretans rebuilt the palace after the earthquake and expanded it, before the 4-story palace on the east side appeared. This discovery shows that some of the ancient Greek myths were adapted from reality. Inside the palace, they found many sacrificial rooms and rooms where the nobles rested. All this shows that the previous Minoan civilization was an extremely powerful civilization.
