The Lost Labyrinth of Egypt: Mystery Beneath the Sands of Hawara

In the shadow of the pyramids lies a mystery greater than stone monuments—the Lost Labyrinth of Egypt. Described by ancient writers like Herodotus, Strabo, and Pliny the Elder, the labyrinth was said to contain thousands of rooms, tombs of kings, and chambers stretching both above and below ground.

Located near the pyramid of Amenemhat III at Hawara, it reportedly rivaled the pyramids in grandeur. Explorers like Flinders Petrie uncovered massive stone foundations in the 19th century, while modern surveys with ground-penetrating radar suggest unexplained structures may still lie buried beneath the sands.

Was the labyrinth deliberately destroyed? Stripped for stone? Or is it still hidden, holding forgotten records of Egypt’s dynasties?
