Hawara
The mortuary temple at the Hawara pyramid was known as the "labyrinth". Herodotus describes it as one of the wonders of the ancient world.
| “ | I have seen this building, and it is beyond my power to describe; it must have cost more in labor and money than all the walls and public works of the Greeks put together - though no one would deny that the temples at Ephesus and Samos are remarkable buildings. The pyramids, too, are astonishing structures, each one of them equal to many of the most ambitious works of Greece; but the labyrinth surpasses them.[1] | ” |
