The labyrinths age and ancient origins are unclear, but at the time of Herodotus visit it was more than 1,300 years old. This legendary complex, named the Labyrinth by the ancient Greeks was legendary complex is believed to be an enormous collective tomb of the twelve kings who built it and a resting place for sacred crocodiles. Located at Hawara, about 90 km south of modern Cairo the complex contains secret chambers, passages shrines and tombs. Herodotus wrote of the Labyrinth in the fifth century B. (History, 2.148-49): It has twelve covered courts six in a row facing north, six south the gates of the one range exactly fronting the gates of the other. Inside, the building is of two storeys and contains three thousand rooms, of which half are underground, and the other half directly above them. I was taken through the rooms in the upper storey, so what I shall say of them is from my own observation, but the underground ones I can speak of only from report, because the Egyptians in charge refused to let me see them, as they contain the tombs of the kings who built the labyrinth, and also the tombs of the sacred crocodiles.
