The bloodline then constructed a great maze below Knossos, around the body of Namtaru, to focus the ritual of awakening. It is said that Shaitan peeled open the skull of seven hundred mortals, studying the surface canals and chasms of the brain as inspiration for his labyrinth.

So walk around like a monkey with a blindfold on
Like an Eskimo in six months of darkness who misses the dawn
So jump in the maze, it's the latest craze
Spend your days going every which way
Phineas and Ferb, "Not Knowing Where You're Going"
