The Serapeum is a truly fascinating site. Located at Saqqara, Egypt, it’s a short drive from Cairo and the Pyramids at Giza.

We visited the site (again) in mid-2016, and filmed our visit with guide Yousef Aywan. Please check out our full article and images to go with this video on our site [ Ссылка ]

The Serapeum is a unique underground complex of passages with recessed depressed alcoves, most of which house giant, precision-carved boxes made from Syenite (with porphyritic diorite) and Rose (or Red) granite. These single-piece boxes weigh anywhere from 50 to some at over 100 metric tons. Their lids are similarly massive.

These boxes and the cavern system contain stunningly clear signs of ancient high technology in their construction. The site itself shows evidence of renovation work and re-use during the dynastic egyptian period, even though this contradicts the othodox story that the site was created in this period. How does one construct a site from scratch and renovate it at the same time?

The story of the site and the objects, as determined by the 'hieroglyphic graffiti' on the boxes, interpreted by academic egyptology, ignores this clear evidence. It's like explaining how your family refrigerator works based solely on your kid's kindergarden painting stuck to the front of it with a magnet.

If you open your mind to the possibility of global cataclysm and the corresponding possibility that human-kinds' story on this planet is likely much longer than the orthodox suggests, then the Serapeum transforms from a nonsensical, ceremonial bull funeral hall and becomes a truly fascinating piece of the puzzle that is our distant, functional, megalithic past.
