Interesting! I found this site, also interesting, by searching on "Floor of the Tholos." Maybe not relevant at all, but it shows how the pattern on the floor of the labyrinth Eli showed corresponded with planets and constellations:

More detail on the floor is here:

Pretty nice, he teaches us how to create a labyrinth: with a ball of string.

It is really useful, indeed.

And...a quiz. To make sure we extract the right info?

I would just like to point out that the information that Eli gives us and that is written on the picture about the Temple (tholos) at Epidaurus is not completely correct.

There is no indication of the a labyrinth at that site, and certainly nothing I've found indicates that the sick crawled through it. The foundation was made up of concentric rings (6 of them to be exact --ooh), but not a labyrinth. And finally, the diameter of the temple was 21.8 meters not 32.6 meters.

This site about Epidaurus does mention a labyrinth which sick people (actually the mentally ill) would crawl through in the dark. It also mentions sick people sleeping in a particular spot to receive visions of the healing god.
Presumably Eli is getting his information from unconventional sources.
