An Anglo Greek team believes that they have found a wall that has as much claim to be the Labyrinth as the Minoan Palace at Knossos 20 miles away, which they have found in their dig at Gortyn. The labyrinth was once told to have held the Minotaur, which came from the King's wife and a bull. the 2 1/2 mile long tunnels of interlocking chambers and dead ends was once widely visited, but when Knossos was discovered it fell into neglect and was even used as a Nazi ammunition dump at one point during World War II.
