At some point in antiquity the Labyrinth was dismantled. Inge Uytterhoeven and Ingrid Blom-Böer argue that since Greco-Roman buildings were erected only on top of the western portion of the Labyrinth's ruins, it is likely that this portion of the structure had already been demolished by the Late Period or early Ptolemaic era. In contrast, Uytterhoeven and Blom-Böer contend that the eastern portion of the Labyrinth likely remained in use into the Ptolemaic and possibly Roman eras, explaining both the absence of Greco-Roman ruins in this area and why the most "imposing architectural and sculptural elements" of the Labyrinth have been found here.
