The Search for the Minotaur





 

This is the palace of Knossos, on the Island of Crete, which belonged to King Minos...  King Minos kept the Minotaur, a hybrid monster, half-man and half-bull, in an underground labyrinth...

 



The palace had over 1,000 rooms... Quite a maze...

Is this where the Minotaur lived?


The Queen stayed in a third story apartment with beautiful frescos, her own bath, and even a flush toilet...

Not bad for 1,900 BC...
