Wandering Not Lost
FE ATURE
mazes and labyrinths is
a maze itself. The first
recorded labyrinth was
commissioned by the
Egyptian king
Amenemhet III
thousands of years ago:
unlike the Minotaur
labyrinth of Greek
myth, this was built to
be lived in, with
banqueting halls,
temples, and offices.
Since then, mazes have
been cut from turf,
mosaicked on cathedral
floors, stamped on
coins, hacked into
cornfields, formed by
parking tourbuses, and
fashioned from
hedgerows as dallying
spots for English
aristocrats.
