This labyrinth is carved on a paving slab in the corridor on the southeast side of the Ptolemaic temple at Kom Ombo, on the banks of the River Nile, constructed during the reign of Ptolemaios VI Philometer (181-146 BCE). The labyrinth is worn by the passage of feet and is difficult to date, but a number of other slabs on the floor of the temple also bear graffiti of obvious antiquity. Current thinking suggests that the labyrinth may well be of Roman origin.
