20x17 - Egypt's Giant Tombs

Post by bunniefuu »

Deep beneath the sands of Egypt

lie 24 enormous stone coffins,

and every one of them is empty.

They're some
of the biggest stone sarcophagi

ever discovered in Egypt.

And we still have not answered

what was inside the boxes.

What purpose
they served remains a mystery.

The precision
in which they were carved

and polished is beyond words.

There has been some theorizing

that the boxes themselves are
a type of technology.

And there are many

who believe
these giant stone boxes

were designed not by humans

but by otherworldly visitors.

One thing is clear.

The Egyptians definitely had
contact with extraterrestrials.

There is a doorway

in the universe.

Beyond it is
the promise of truth.

It demands
we question everything

we have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is
right before our eyes.

We are not alone.

We have never been alone.

French archaeologist
Auguste Mariette

embarks on an expedition
to purchase ancient manuscripts

for the Louvre Museum in Paris.

A self-taught
expert in hieroglyphics,

Mariette is at the forefront

of the budding field
of Egyptology.

When Mariette started to work
in Egypt, people were

increasingly interested
in the culture

of the ancient Egyptians.

So this was a time
when Egyptology

really started
to come into being.

Mariette, being a Frenchman,
was well-versed

in French history
concerning Egypt.

In 1798, Napoleon Bonaparte,

along with his army of savants,

came into Egypt
and massively documented

the wonders of ancient Egypt.

Champollion had just
translated the hieroglyphics

from the Rosetta Stone
just 30 years before.

And so,
as he's coming into Egypt,

he's thinking he's gonna
make his mark on history.

According
to mainstream historians,

ancient Egyptian civilization

began over 5,000 years ago

and flourished
until it was conquered

by Alexander the Great
in 332 BC.

At its fall,
this empire left behind



and wondrous monuments

that continue
to reveal hidden secrets.

Egypt is
the one place in the world

that is filled with sites,

with monuments and stories

that really capture
everyone's imagination.

You have the pyramids,

massive temples,

and of course mummies.

Egypt has been fascinating
people for millennia.

When Auguste Mariette
is, uh, in Egypt,

the world is going through

a huge expl*si*n

of obsession with Egypt
that happens

post-the Napoleonic Wars.

French artists had come
and drawn the monuments.

Engravings of Egypt were
being sold all across Europe.

As researchers
descended on Egypt,

Auguste Mariette
found himself on the verge

of failing his assignment.

He was on commission
by the Louvre

to look
for Egyptian manuscripts.

But he's in competition
with private collectors

and other museums,
and he's kind of desperate.

He's really
not finding anything.

Mariette was
determined not to leave Egypt

empty-handed and had heard
from a tribe of Bedouins

that there were treasures
to be found

beneath the sands of Saqqâra.

Located 20 miles
south of the Giza Pyramids,

Saqqâra served
as a burial ground

for the ancient Egyptian capital
of Memphis.

It was the destination

of all ancient Egyptians

across the thousands
and thousands of years.

The destination
for religious beliefs,

for a burial, funeral.

And then, after
the ancient Egyptian empire

had completely fallen
and the Greek

and Roman Empire took over,

they still went and prayed
in Saqqâra.

One of the greatest
monuments in Egypt is

the step pyramid at Saqqâra.

It's referred to
as "the stairway to heaven."

It's considered to be
the oldest stone structure

on Earth, built for King Djoser

by the great Imhotep.

It's a place of immense mystery.

The ancient accounts said

that there was an avenue
that ran all the way

from Memphis all the way
out into the desert

that was lined by sphinxes.

And Auguste Mariette

realized
that there was something still

to be discovered
in the area of Saqqâra.

Mariette decided
that the best place

to start exploring Saqqâra

was near
its towering step pyramid.

While surveying the area,
he was astonished

to find a stone object
protruding from the ground

that appeared
to be the head of a sphinx.

He started to clear
the area, and his team

dug down and revealed sphinx
after sphinx after sphinx.

He soon lines up
over 100 sphinxes,

follows the pathway,

and is led
to an underground tunnel.

An entrance that's blocked.

He dynamites the entrance.

He's now
in a 700-foot-long tunnel

that's been carved
out of the limestone.

The walls are rough,
and he must have imagined

that these walls must have
been painted and covered,

but that's no longer there.

Instead there's these rough and
sort of primitive looking walls

and there are alcoves that are
also cut out of the limestone.

And he's not quite sure
what this place is

or even what he's looking at,

but he knows he's made
the discovery of a lifetime.

Inside the ancient structure,

Mariette discovered inscriptions

that identify
the underground complex

as the Serapeum.

And within its chambers

Mariette found more than


including ancient figurines...

ornate amulets...

and a gold mask.

After shipping much
of his discovery to the Louvre,

Mariette opened the Serapeum
to the public.

People came
in carriages from Cairo.

Took a couple of hours.

But when they descended
into this place,

it was all dark.

But he had people
from the villages around

holding flaming torches,

and so people could come
and visit the Serapeum,

and it
must have been extraordinary

to see this place
in the flickering light

just like the ancient Egyptians
would have.

Word of Mariette's
discovery of the Serapeum

and its treasures
spread throughout Europe.

But the most extraordinary
objects found

within the underground labyrinth

were not made of silver or gold.

They were made of stone.

The Serapeum has been
cut out of the granite bedrock,

and inside that Serapeum are



that contain boxes
made of basalt

and rose granite.

Now, when I say boxes,

they're not little sarcophagi,
but they're humongous.

They're some of the biggest
stone sarcophagi

ever discovered in Egypt.

The boxes themselves
range in weight

from 70 to 75 tons,

and the lids alone

weigh between 20 and 25 tons.

Most of these sarcophagi
were discovered empty.

At the time, it was thought

that most of the sarcophagi

were broken into

and completely looted.

Mariette assumed the giant boxes

were enormous stone coffins.

Who or what they contained

remains a mystery.

But Mariette believed
he would find the answer

when he came upon one box
that was completely sealed.

We know
that of the 24 sarcophagi

that were found
by Auguste Mariette,



their lids just slightly ajar.

But it's
that one unopened sarcophagi

that is
the greatest mystery because

what Mariette decided was,
he would dynamite it

to try and blow it open,

and when he looked inside,

he was
absolutely staggered to find

that it was completely empty.

What are the giant
stone boxes within the Serapeum?

Are they simply
giant sarcophagi?

Or might they have
a more profound purpose?

Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest clues can be found

by further examining
the Serapeum

and its connection

to otherworldly beings.

The mysterious subterranean
structure in Saqqâra, EgyptAT:

known as the Serapeum

is an extraordinary feat
of engineering

built 100 feet beneath the earth

and spanning the length of
more than two football fields.

But even more impressive

are 24 massive stone boxes

found within the complex

that are carved from
exceptionally hard stone

like granite,
basalt and diorite.

Each sarcophagus was
over 70 tons.



that 200 people can carry.

It is an impossible weight

to move anywhere,

let alone a hundred feet
under the ground

and then 700 feet
into a tiny corridor

and then inside
a little chamber.

If you think of a pyramid

or a temple,
it's in the open air.

If you're hauling
a big block of stone

or an obelisk,

you've got space to
get teams of people.

You can get draft animals on it.

But the thing that
really startles me,

they didn't have
the space to get

huge teams of men
to start moving them.

And they couldn't get
animals down there

for any practical intent.

Just as baffling as
how the ancient Egyptians

managed to move
these giant boxes is

how they were able to carve them
with such incredible precision.

Machinists have gone in there
with tools to measure

just how precisely
carved they were.

We're talking, in some cases,
to the thousandths of an inch,

right angles,
which are incredibly perfect.

Now, you need sophisticated
technology for this

because, in some cases,

we're talking about basalt.

Basalt is harder than granite.

And according to what we know,

the ancient Egyptians
only had bronze

and copper tools.

It is wishful thinking
to suggest that you can

cut basalt with copper.

You just can't do it.

But the surface is as if

you're touching glass.

So, to me, it's possible that

the ancient Egyptians
figured out a way

to vitrify stone.

What compelled
the ancient Egyptians to

place 24 enormous and
precisely crafted stone boxes

deep beneath the earth?

Based on inscriptions found
within the underground chamber,

Egyptologists determined
that the Serapeum

was built to be the burial
place of the sacred Apis bull.

The ancient Egyptians
believed that

animals and the gods
had special relationships,

and each deity was associated
with one particular animal.

The Apis bull is related
to the Egyptian god Ptah,

who was a major creator god.

He was the god of Memphis,
the capital city.

He was the god of all craftsmen.

The Egyptians believed
that the spirit of the god

would enter into
the body of that animal.

During its lifetime, it would
be treated as a god on Earth.

When it died,
it would be buried with

great pomp and circumstance.

The Apis bull was one of

the most sacred animals
in all of ancient Egypt.

But here is the thing.

When Auguste Mariette
opened the sarcophagus,

they were empty.
There was nothing in there.

What Egyptologists
will speculate is that

somehow the Serapeum
was looted in antiquity

and the mummified bulls were
removed from the sarcophagi.

But who would want
a mummified bull?

Were the giant stone
containers in the Serapeum

simply designed to hold
the remains of an Apis bull?

Some researchers believe
that these massive objects

served an entirely
different purpose.

Most of these boxes have
no inscriptions on them,

but there's one
in particular that has

a lot of hieroglyphics
all over it.

Those inscriptions
are incredibly crude

compared to the finesse,
the precision of

the actual stone boxes.

So this leads me,
and I'm not alone in this,

to suggest that these boxes

go back to
a much earlier period,

and they were being
reused and reappropriated

at a much later time.

It's thought by
some researchers that

the Serapeum was used
at a later date

for the mummified Apis bulls.

But the Serapeum itself
predates this,

and its original purpose
was for something else.

So what was the Serapeum for?

While the purpose
of the stone boxes

continues to
perplex researchers,

some believe clues can be found

by examining the contents
of another box

found in the Serapeum,

one not made of stone

but wood.

After discovering


within the Serapeum,
Auguste Mariette

comes upon a much smaller coffin

made of wood.

There is a body inside it,

and at first glance

it appears human.

He came across
a very unique burial.

It looked human.

And yet, when
the bones were examined,

they were actually found
to be those of a bull.

Mariette found no head of a bull

but just bits of bone

of a bull wrapped up and then

sort of a mask
of a human being on it.

Egyptologists assumed
that the mask

must belong to the builder
of the Serapeum

and determined
the face it depicts

is that of a prince who lived

in the 13th century BC

named Khaemweset.

People think that
the person who built

the Serapeum
was Prince Khaemweset.

Khaemweset was the fourth
son of King Ramses II.

He was in charge of
the Temple of Ptah

and also, therefore,
the temple of the Apis bull

in the capital city of Memphis.

There are many
researchers, however,

who believe that Khaemweset

did not build the Serapeum

but only restored it.

He's considered
the first Egyptologist.

He starts documenting
who are the builders of

all of these massive temples.

He goes up to the Giza plateau,

he restores the pyramids.

All his life,
he is not a builder

but a restorer and a documenter

of these ancient structures.

Archaeologists also
discovered evidence

that the only two bulls
found in the Serapeum

were put there
by Prince Khaemweset

around 1200 BC.

He has a couple
of sarcophagi down there

that he had put
Apis bull mummies in them.

And he wrote that
on a little tablet

next to that specific chamber

that he added to the place
and he added to the Serapeum.

This was a typical thing
in ancient Egypt

because many of
the monuments in Egypt were

thousands of years old,
even for them.

So the idea that the Serapeum

is actually much older than

even we think it is

is a pretty valid theory.

If the Serapeum
predates Prince Khaemweset,

just how old is this
underground structure?

Some researchers suggest

the Serapeum is associated
with the Apis bull

not because it was
a tomb for burying them

but because it was
built at a time

when worship of
the Apis bull cult

first appeared in Egypt

around 3200 BC.

While excavating the underground
structure at Saqqâra,

Egyptologist Auguste Mariette

discovers a stela
that identifies the complex

as the Serapeum.

The Serapeum gets its name
from, uh, Serapis...

...which was a Greek god

that was a combination between

an ancient Egyptian bull Apis

and a Greek god at the time.

The combination between
both was Serapis,

and the Serapeum was the place

where you go pray
for that specific god.

The cult of the Apis bull,

uh, which later
becomes known as Serapis,

dates back to
the very first dynasty.

The very early kings of Egypt

worshipped
these particular bulls.

The Apis bull cult was

extremely popular in Egypt
all the way back



One of the first kings
of ancient Egypt,

the First Dynasty, King Menes,

who unified North Egypt
and South Egypt together,

would represent himself
as a bull.

King Menes is documented
as the first human pharaoh

and is believed to
have ruled around 3200 BC.

According to
their written history,

before the reign of Menes,

Egypt was ruled by the gods,

who lived among humans on Earth.

When the gods left,
Menes inherited the throne

from the god-king Horus.

The ancient Egyptians
believed that Horus

was actually a god-man.

He was a being
of flesh and blood.

The ancient Egyptians
were in contact with the gods,

physical manifestations,
extraterrestrial beings

who came and lived with them.

At the end of Horus's reign,

the Egyptians wrote
that the gods

no longer lived among humans

but still held influence
over earthly events.

One point of connection
between the gods

and the mortal world
was the Apis bull.

In many ways,
the Apis bull was seen to be

a personification
of that contact

between this world
and the star world.

So, is it possible that

the Serapeum is associated
with the Apis bulls

because there is
some kind of connection

with a celestial intelligence

and what these underground
structures really represent?

Could it be that
the Serapeum of Saqqâra

was built more than


and has a connection
to otherworldly visitors?

Ancient astronaut
theorists suggest

clues can be found by examining
the size of these boxes.

When you think of a sarcophagus,

you don't think
of something so large

as what's in the Serapeum.

They're about ten feet high

and almost 20 feet long.

And it's way too large
for these Apis bulls.

In traditional
Egyptian sarcophagi building,

they would create
the sarcophagus so that

it very closely matched
the dimensions

of the body inside it
in order to preserve it.

These boxes
are many times too large

for even an Apis bull,

so this is pointing to the idea

that something else was
concealed within these boxes.

Some ancient astronaut theorists
believe an important clue

as to what the giant
stone boxes may have held

can be found at a site


Armant, Egypt. 1929.

British archaeologist
Sir Robert Mond

begins an excavation
of an ancient catacomb

called the Bucheum and makes
an extraordinary discovery.

There is a place called
the Bucheum

where they found
similar type sarcophagi

to the Serapeum,

and it was at the Bucheum

where they found
remains mummified

in the shape of a bull.

And they thought,
"Finally, we found the remains

of a mummified Apis bull."

And they opened up
the mummified remains

and they were confronted with
this stinking mass of bitumen,

which is asphalt,
in which they found

tiny, tiny fragments of bones.

Now, it was anathema
in ancient Egypt

to destroy any dead bodies.

You had to mummify them

and you had to
mummify them intact.

All Egyptians,
they mummified everything.

They mummified not only humans.

They mummified birds.

They mummified apes.
They mummified dogs.

Why do they mummify
every animal?

Because you can only
be reincarnated

when your body is conserved.

What could explain the mixture

of broken animal bones
found in this one sarcophagus?

According to
ancient astronaut theorists,

they could be the remains
of a monster.

I have speculated
and I have suggested

that these broken bones

come from mixed creatures
in mythology.

All throughout ancient Egypt,

you have not just
ancient stories

of these hybrid mixture beings

between half-man, half-animal,

but you have thousands
of depictions

in figurines,

in statues, in carvings,

in all the ancient
Egyptian texts,

you have reference
to these hybrid creatures.

The classical writer
Alexander Polyhistor

talked about the ancient world

being filled
with hybrid creatures.

And he said that
these actually existed

as living creatures.

The Egyptians were very clear

in making
the distinction between

regular animals and then
these celestial creatures

that they themselves say
these beings existed.

And in the opinion
of the classic

ancient astronaut theory,

they were genetic experiments
by extraterrestrials.

I think it's quite possible
that the reason

why these boxes were built

is that these hybrid monsters,

these genetic mutations
by extraterrestrials

were placed in there

so they would be ensured
never to come back.

Because the ancient Egyptians
were very, very adamant that,

if you bury your dead intact,
they will one day come back.

Could it be that the Serapeum
and the giant stone boxes

found within it
were built to entomb

dangerous hybrid creatures?

Is this why it is buried
so deep beneath the earth

and also why the sarcophagi
are so massive?

Some ancient astronaut theorists

suggest the Serapeum
wasn't built

to hold dangerous creatures

but rather dangerous technology.

In the 1970s,

archaeologists begin
a massive excavation

and restoration effort

in the ancient burial complex,

which includes a deeper
examination of the Serapeum.

The undertaking sparks interest
among engineers,

who hope that modern technology

can shed new light on
the structure's mysterious past.

And in 1978,

American construction expert
James Ernest Brown

makes a curious discovery.

He goes into this crypt,
into the catacombs,

and he notices that the walls
are covered with salt

and sodium chloride
that's actually visible.

This is curious to Brown
because in Europe

proposals had been made
to house nuclear waste

in granite boxes that
were filled with salt water.

And in his mind, he's thinking

this is some kind of
a toxic waste dump.

After noticing salt
on the stone boxes,

Brown decided to measure
radiation levels

within the Serapeum.

What he found

was that the levels of, um,

radiation inside the sarcophagi

was as much as three times that
of the corridors

that linked to the side chambers
that contained the sarcophagi.

So why is it that there are
such high levels of radiation?

These are not dangerous levels,
by the way,

so don't worry
about going there.

But it's certainly very, very
interesting that you have

this radiation present
inside the Serapeum.

Is it possible
that the Serapeum was used

to house radioactive material?

While it may sound far-fetched,

aerospace engineer
and machinist Chris Dunn

has measured the boxes
and believes their precision

supports the idea that they
were designed to be airtight.

To say it was
a mind-blowing experience

would be an understatement

because when I measured

the precision of the box
on just the outside,

I found that they were
quite precise, quite flat.

And the question in my mind was,

why do they need to be
so precise?

Because in manufacturing
and engineering,

we don't manufacture
that kind of precision

unless there is a need for it.

The extraordinary precision
with which they were crafted

speaks to a much higher purpose
than a-a simple coffin.

So what exactly
is going on down there?

Is it possible that
the granite sarcophagi

give off an energy

that somehow increases
the radiation levels down there?

Or is that radiation seeping up

into the corridors and chambers

that is mixing with the natural
electromagnetic properties

of the sarcophagi to make them
into some kind of

functional chamber?

I mean, one of the ideas, too,
of the sarcophagi is that

they're super high-tech
storage devices.

They're hermetically sealed.
They're, you know,

in spaces that would be
difficult to get to.

Uh, the lids are very heavy.
It would be hard to remove them.

Could it be that
the giant stone boxes

of the Serapeum
had a technological function?

Some scientists suggest

that the type of rock
the giant boxes were made from...

which is rich
in quartz crystal...

can produce
electromagnetic energy

through what's known as
the piezoelectric effect.

It's a known effect
that pressure

on some natural crystals
can generate light.

For quartz,
you can get it to glow.

If you strike
two crystals together,

you will get them to glow.

Quartz crystal

have a distribution

of negative charges on one side

and more positive charges
on the other.

And if you squeeze that,

you can actually get an
electrical current through that.

This is called
the piezoelectric effect.

It's really interesting
that this box

is made out of this material.

It's really intriguing to me

what the
electromagnetic conditions

might be inside this box.

Is this some sort of
shielded box

for, uh, of
electromagnetic energy?

Is it an amplifier
of electromagnetic energy?

Is it doing something else?

Is it possible that
the giant granite boxes

in the Serapeum were able
to generate energy?

Is this the answer
as to why the boxes

of the Serapeum are so large?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes

and believe further evidence can
be found in historic accounts

that claimed the giant boxes
could transport people

through space and time.

The 24 mysterious stone boxes

inside the Serapeum
have fascinated Egyptologists

for more than 170 years.

But even with modern technology,

archaeologists are no closer
to unraveling their secrets.

While there are many theories

as to what they might have held,

some researchers suggest

that the boxes themselves
were a technological instrument.

One interesting line of thought

concerning these boxes
involves sound.

The boxes are granite.

Granite is mostly
quartz crystal,

which responds
to sound when activated.

I've literally been
in the presence

of one of the obelisks, which is
also composed of granite,

that when struck with a fist,

that obelisk will start humming,

massively humming.

It's profound.

So what if there was
something like that

that was involved
with the granite boxes as well?

That they're activated by sound
and they're doing something

to whatever is held
within that box?

One idea about the sarcophagi
at the Serapeum is

that the measurements
and dimensions

of the box itself can have like

a harmonic vibration.

And it's been suggested
that it's a vibration tool.

It almost seemed important

that there was some kind
of vibration

associated with these sarcophagi
that will

affect human consciousness,

send us into altered states
of consciousness.

Some researchers
and others have gone

to the Serapeum

and they've experienced
psychic-type experiences.

And I don't dismiss that
out of hand.

Some people have suggested
that maybe they were used

for some kind
of initiation rites,

out-of-body experiences,

some kind
of increased consciousness,

or going into altered states
of consciousness.

Many of these ancient sites
could be multipurpose

even if they were being used
for "practical purposes."

In some cases
they may have been used also

to induce psychic phenomena.

Could it be that the sarcophagi
in the Serapeum

were crafted so precisely

in order to produce some sort
of vibrational effect?

One that can alter the mind,

perhaps to communicate
with beings existing

in higher dimensional realms?

While some researchers believe

that energy produced
by the sarcophagi was intended

to induce altered states
of consciousness,

others have proposed an even
more profound possibility.

That the stone boxes were used
for teleportation.

The granite boxes
at the Serapeum have connections

with the sacred Apis bulls.

And what's fascinating is
that the later Greeks claimed

that Apis bulls were created
by flashes of light.

They connected them
with lightning.

They also connected
their creation

with flashes of light
that came from the Moon.

What are we talking about here?

We're talking about a bull

produced by a flash
of lightning?

Or are we talking about a god

who suddenly appears
in a flash of lightning?

This flash of lightning business
is really integral

to what we're talking about
because

we also have the pyramid texts.

They have utterances
within them that say

the pharaohs became
like lightning.

The pharaoh went
through the portal.

The pharaoh is now a god.

When we put
all these pieces together,

it sounds as if that
the Serapeum could be a place

where a god could enter the box

and somehow,
in a flash of lightning,

could return
to its place of origin.

The idea that these sarcophagi

or boxes are some kind
of teleportation device

may seem, you know,
pretty amazing,

but the ancient Egyptians did
believe in this kind of a thing.

And the idea of pharaohs going
to stars and other places...

that's part
of the Egyptian religion.

This is not far-fetched
in light of what we know

about the ancient
Egyptian belief

in the transfiguration
of the human body

into light or lightning.

It seems
that that idea is pointing us

to the actual purpose
of the Serapeum

and a true understanding
of what the bull represents.

Is it possible
that the giant stone boxes

at the Serapeum are
ancient teleportation devices?

Were they designed
to hold the mummified remains

of an Apis bull?

Or could they even have been
used to contain hybrid monsters?

Ancient astronaut theorists
believe

new discoveries being made
beneath the sands of Saqqâra

may soon provide the key
to solving the mystery.

Archaeologists digging
near the Step Pyramid of Djoser

make a remarkable find


a mummy that may be
the oldest ever found in Egypt.

The mummy...
believed to date to 2300 BC...

is sealed tightly
within a limestone sarcophagus.

And this sarcophagus,

like the more than 450 others

that have been unearthed
in Saqqâra,

is nowhere near as large
or precisely crafted

as the stone boxes
that reside in the Serapeum.

As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,

this serves as further evidence

that the Serapeum belongs
to a far older

and more sophisticated
civilization

than most Egyptologists propose.

What we're learning is

that whoever was making
these sarcophagi

had technology that's at least
equal to us today.

So it really shows us

that things were going on
in ancient Egypt

that are just inexplicable

and cannot be explained
by normal science.

One of the things
that is crystal clear to me

is that a technology was used,
especially in the Serapeum,

that has since been lost.

We today would
have great difficulties

recreating the Serapeum.

And today we would use

the most sophisticated
technology available to us.

Nobody in their right mind would
take on a construction project

like that unless
there was a pressing reason.

While nothing like
the Serapeum of Saqqâra

has ever been found
anywhere else on Earth,

experts believe
that many lost marvels

of the ancient world
still lie hidden

beneath the sands of Egypt.

They are finding new things

in Saqqâra literally every day.

It is one of the most active

and exciting archaeological
sites in the world.

There could be more Serapeums,

there could be more temples.

The possibilities
are literally endless.

And the more technology
we have moving into the future,

the more we can survey
the land in Egypt

and understand how much
there is still to be excavated.

Two-thirds of ancient Egypt
is still under the sands.

There will be discoveries
in Saqqâra,

maybe right next
to the Serapeum,

maybe inside the Serapeum,

that will uncover more and more
of the secrets

and mysteries
about the Serapeum.

The question is not if,
the question is when.

And it might be right there,
right under our noses.

The Serapeum is a treasure trove

for the ancient astronaut theory

because the stories
which are combined

with the gigantic boxes
is always

in reference to the so-called
guardians of the sky.

Now, who were these guys?

Well, according
to the ancient Egyptians,

they were their gods,

gods that lived
in a celestial realm.

But at some point

those celestial gods mingled
with people on Earth.

And that, in my opinion,

cannot be a figment
of somebody's imagination.

And so,

is the smoking g*n still waiting
somewhere underneath the sand?

I think the answer
to that is a resounding yes.



the Serapeum of Saqqâra
remains one

of the world's
greatest mysteries.

Could it have been built

to entomb monstrous
hybrid creatures?

Was it connected
to an advanced alien technology?

Or might it have served
a more profound purpose

than we can even imagine?

Perhaps the answer lies buried
beneath the sands of Egypt,

and when
it is finally uncovered,

it will reveal the truth

about our
extraterrestrial origins.
