to tell if a maze is solvable, just hang it by its corners! The first maze stays in one piece, so there is no path from the entrance at the top to the exit at the bottom. The second maze splits apart along the solution.

One of biggest pre-roman mosaics ever found. Highly elaborate, meant to show power of Greek Kingdom of Macedonia.
Palace of Aigai, known today as Vergina, is considered not only biggest, but together with Parthenon, most significant building of classical Greece.
Constructed during reign of Philip II (359-336 BC) on a raised outcrop in Vergina in northern Greece, palace, a remarkable landmark and symbol of power and beauty three times size of Parthenon, was visible from whole Macedonian basin.
