User blog comment:Dovahsebrom/Theory: Who is Konahrik?/@comment-50.152.16.58-20150603050709

It says that shalidor built the maze, but the ruins are much older, I think konahrik built the original ruins and built himself a mask and other great dragon cult leaders their masks. He died and had his mask kept in the shrine to be guarded so that no one would ever get it. The other dragon priests then spread out to different reaches of skyrim to keep their masks safe.
