"The earliest structure of any kind to which we find the word *labyrinth* applied was a huge building situated in the north of Egypt...probably constructed more than 2000 years before the commencement of the Christian Era." --W H Matthews, Mazes & Labyrinths : Their History and Development

There are two sorts of rooms, one sort above, the other sort below ground, fifteen hundred of each sort, or three thousand in all."
the lower rooms contained the tombs of the kings who had built the labyrinth and the tombs of sacred crocodiles
