The building Evans called the Palace of Knossos

Knossos, Crete. Myths and legends. Debated. Free

The open page does not show a labyrinth, or the Minotaur, in the ground.

Debated. Evans called the ruins a palace, but the page asks if that idea is right.

The ruins are at Knossos, on the hill of Kephala, just outside Heraklion on Crete. In 1878, a storeroom of large ancient storage jars was found on this hill. In 1900, Arthur Evans dug there and called the building the Palace of Knossos, seat of the Bronze Age Minoan civilisation. The page calls it Bronze Age. It does not give a finer age on the part that is open.

The open page asks whether the building was for living rulers or for the dead, and it does not answer.
