Excavation Results Shed Light on Mysterious Minoan Labyrinth on Crete
Archaeologists have presented preliminary results of the excavation on Crete, where a unique Minoan Labyrinth was discovered in 2024.
The site, located on Papoura Hill, was discovered during work for the installation of radar systems for the new Heraklion airport.
According to Danae Kontopodi of the Heraklion Ephorate of Antiquities, the excavation has revealed a rare, monumental circular structure, impressive for its size, early date, and unique architectural design.
The President of the Association of Greek Archaeologists, Costas Paschalidis, described Papoura as
"one of the most important archaeological finds of the 21st century for the prehistoric Aegean."
With a diameter of 48-50 meters, this circular, labyrinthine building has no known parallel in prehistoric Crete or the wider Aegean region.
