* {{Demythification}}: The series offers an explanation for the Minotaur and the Labyrinth. The Labyrinth was born from Knossos and its storeroom, which was located beneath the palace and had narrow twisting corridors that could have discouraged robbers. The Minotaur would have come from all of the bull imagery and the labyrinth-like architecture, with the possibility that it had just been made-up to keep robbers away.

* CurseOfThePharaoh: Subverted. One episode explores the alleged curse of Tutankhamun's tomb, noting how many of the explorers who discovered the tomb, along with some other people who later visited his tomb, seem to have ended up dying not long afterwards. It is pointed out though that some of deaths were not related to the tomb (one visitor was sick before coming to egypt while another died from a shaving related incident) not to mention that one explorer who discovered it, Howard Carter, lived quite a while after finding the tomb. Other egyptian curses are briefly mentioned but are dismissed as being more like "do not trespass" signs rather than being actual curses.
