The Takmahl did explore the labyrinth and encountered resistance doing so. In site 2 of Aphi there is a wreck of an ancient ship, shown here:
Compare this with an ancient cryoship design, from a picture I took two years earlier, at a relic anomaly, in Gamdis:
This is the same ship type! The top one is classified as an ancient scout vessel wreck in the labyrinth, whereas the bottom one is a wreck of a Sani Sabik vessel fleeing Amarr two thousand years ago. That proves it: the Takmahl stumbled upon the Talocan designed spatial rifts and tried to explore it. Their initial explorations failed - the ships even break at the same weak spots. But at the end, they succeeded - as is proven by the remnants found at the central "holy rock".
The wreckage in the labyrinth is not a modern ship, it is an ancient vessel! I must go back to board it and explore it further. Even if it is looted, the parts that do not hold value to graverobbers might still have a major academic value!
