The Ivory Labyrinth is a labyrinth inside the monumental head of a dead god lying on the shore of the Dead Sea. Larger inside than the material world, it is a prison, notably of Baphomet, and a temporal or spatial interstice leading elsewhere.

Description
Beside “the huge head” a crack opens onto “a well that goes in” toward the skull: the entrance. Nearby, recently placed tusks and a structure of tusk fragments suggest someone mining the ivory and building with it; the work is unattributed. Other entrances: a descending staircase, and an underground branch from a dry river.
The interior holds cities, mountains, plains of bones, rivers, foundations, tunnels and adaptable rooms, starting from “room one”. From its mists one exits “from a temporal or spatial interstice”. It is an archaeological site of the Holy Land, spoken of by prophets.
Imprisonment
- Baphomet was locked in it, hence the name Labyrinth of Bajomed.
- It holds captives and slaves, possibly including missing members of a company that searched inside.
- A million souls were sheltered there, sought by vision when “the thread of communication was cut”.
- Its danger is associated with Taurus and the Minotaur.
Passage
- The Templars of the Ivory Labyrinth, named after it, “had already been traveling through time”.
- The dry-river branch leads to a cavern with a sleeping realm, “the kingdom of the city that awakens”.
- One always leaves the Labyrinths by turning left.
The head and the Cross
The titan’s head is that of Poseidon, god “of the Dead Sea”; the labyrinth would be “what that God had in mind as he died”. On the same shore the Templars found the Splinter of the True Cross in the petrified brain of Kronamon, a fallen titan. It is also named as the gate where one speaker’s parents met. A female entity later identified as Baphomet’s daughter declared: “This will be a great city and it is in Labyrinths.”
Open questions
- Whether Poseidon’s head and Kronamon’s are one head or two.
- Whether the “Labyrinths of the heart” is a room, a region or another name for the whole, and whether the Labyrinth of Bajomed is the Labyrinthus Marfíleo of the dossiers.
- Whether it is the Templars’ origin, seat or object of study.
- What happens to whoever turns right, and whether the rule works for entering.
- Whether the missing company members were found.
