Is there a maze of passege ways or a palace in the island of crete?

Question

I will like it if there is proof with your answer

Answer 1

There are lots of old palaces on Crete dating back to a culture called the Minoan.  There are later palaces as well.  The Minoan culture collapsed about 3,500 years ago.

According to Greek legend one of the Minoan palaces contained a maze of passageways called the Labyrinth, and that's the source of that alternative name for a maze.  This was said to have been built at Knossos.  It provided a home for a monster known as the Minotaur; half-man, half-bull.  The unfortunate monster was later assaulted by a Greek vivisectionist named Theseus.

You can find your own verification for the the veracity of my musings in the internet and in books.  In short, look it up yourself: Crete - Labyrinth - Knossos - Minoan.

Answer 2

Knossos (alternative spellings Knossus, Cnossus, Gnossus, Greek Κνωσός pronounced [kno̞ˈso̞s]), is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete and probably the ceremonial and political center of the Minoan civilization and culture. It is also a tourist destination today, as it is near the main city of Heraklion and has been substantially, if imaginatively "restored", making the site more comprehensible to the visitor than a field of unmarked ruins.

The city of Knossos remained important through the Classical and Roman periods, but its population shifted to the new town of Handaq (modern Heraklion) during the 9th century AD. By the 13th century, it was called Makryteikhos 'Long Wall'; the bishops of Gortyn continued to call themselves Bishops of Knossos until the 19th century.[1] Today, the name is used only for the archaeological site situated in the suburbs of Heraklion.
