text: who made the first ever maze?   "the earliest structure of any kind to which we find the word labyrinth applied was a huge building situated in the north of egypt, a land always noted for its stupendous monuments, and was probably constructed more than 2000 years before the commencement of the christian era."  from "mazes and labyrinths", ch. 2.  (see link below.)  perhaps this was the inspiration for the famed labyrinth of greek myth, which supposedly was constructed by daedalus for king minos of crete, to hold the minotaur.
