The mysterious stone boxes here are amazing to see and touch. Each weighs somewhere between 75-100 tons depending.
How were they moved?
How were they cut?
What were they used for?
The traditional story doesn't seem to hold water once you scrutinize that these boxes were used for burials of symbolic bulls.
The Secrets of the Serapeum of Saqqara in Egypt | Ancient Architects
The #Serapeum of Saqqara is without doubt one of the most enigmatic ancient sites, not only in #Egypt, but the world.
Located north west of the Step Pyramid at #Saqqara, the site is interpreted by Egyptologists to be the burial place of sacred Apis bulls, dating back to the time of #Ramesses the Great. But with its unexplainable artefacts, it is more likely that the Serapeum is Pre-dynastic and it is more likely to be a sacred site of ritual than the burial place of the Apis bull. Watch the video to learn more.

Serapeum, burial place of sacred Apis bulls, reopened
(20 Sep 2012) Egypt on Thursday reopened the ancient Serapeum of Saqqara in Alexandria after over a decade of restoration work.
The site is a tunnel of underground tombs dedicated to the bulls of Apis, thought in ancient Egyptian times to be the earthly incarnations of gods.
The site contains vast galleries holding the tombs of the sacred bulls, accompanied by hieroglyphics containing information on the reigns under which the animals lived.
Reopening the tombs, Minister of state for Antiquities affairs Doctor Mohammad Ebrahim said the Serapeum had a a unique place in Egyptian civilisation.
There are galleries here, the great galleries and small galleries where the Apis bulls were buried starting from the 18th dynasty until the Greek Roman time, he said.
I think it's great to show everybody outside of Egypt that we are still working to consolidate to protect our monuments and also to say for everybody that Egypt is safe, he added.
The tombs were lost for centuries until they were discovered by French archaeologist August Mariette in the 1850's.
They were closed for restoration in 2001 and the work was completed in 2011.
The walls and ceilings of the tombs and corridors have been consolidated as some sections were partially deteriorated.
Steel scaffolding was also installed to maintain the Serapeum's vaulted ceilings which were threatened with collapse.
The tombs of Ptahhotep and Mereruka, two ancient noblemen, have also been opened after restoration.
The tomb of Ptahhotep also contains that of his father Akhethotep while Mereruka is buried with his wife and son.
The Serapeum was designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979.

For more information you may visit us at
Pompey's Pillar was originally part of a temple dedicated to Serapis located in the same area, a temple of the God Serapis, now badly damaged. It was built during the reigns of Ptolemy II and Ptolemy III, but was damaged due to the revolts of the Jewish population in Alexandria.
Alexandria- Pompey's Pillar at Serapeum.
Pompey's Pillar is a Roman triumphal column in Alexandria, Egypt. The column is 26.85 meter high. Erroneously dated to the time of Pompey, the Corinthian column was actually built in 297 AD, commemorating the victory of Roman emperor Diocletian over an Alexandrian revolt. Diocletain captured Alexandria after it had been under siege. The Arabs called it Amoud el-Sawari, Column of the Horsemen. The Pillar is the tallest ancient monument in Alexandria. Previously an ancient temple of Serapeum was located here, dedicated to god Serapis, created by Ptolmay I to unite the people of Alexandria to worship one common deity. Therefore this acropolis is also known as Serapeum.

Alexandria Catacombs - Underground Stone Vaults for Mummies
This video is based on our visit to Egypt during October, 2016. The Catacombs of Kom el-Shouqafa in Alexandria, entombed over 300 mummies, and is one of the Seven Wonders of the Medieval Ages. The Catacombs were used as a burial ground from the 2nd to the 4th centuries A.D. The catacombs are a testimony to Alexandria’s fusion of Pharaonic-Greek-Roman styles. The catacombs consist of three tiers of tombs and chambers cut into bedrock to a depth of 35m (100 ft.). The bottom level is flooded and inaccessible.
Lost Treasure of the Alexandria Library - Ancient Mysteries - Full Documentary
The Royal Library of Alexandria, or Ancient Library of Alexandria, in Alexandria, Egypt, was probably the largest, and certainly the most famous, of the libraries of the ancient world. It flourished under the patronage of the Ptolemaic dynasty, and functioned as a major center of scholarship, at least until the time of Rome's conquest of Egypt, and probably for many centuries thereafter.
Generally thought to have been founded at the beginning of the third century BC, the library was conceived and opened either during the reign of Ptolemy I Soter or during the reign of his son Ptolemy II. Plutarch (AD 46120) wrote that during his visit to Alexandria in 48 BC, Julius Caesar might have accidentally burned the library when he set fire to his own ships to frustrate Achillas' attempt to limit his ability to communicate by sea. According to Plutarch's account, this fire spread to the docks and then to the library.
However, this version of events is not confirmed in contemporary accounts of Caesar's visit. In fact, it has been reasonably established that segments of its collection were partially destroyed on several occasions before and after the first century BC. A modern myth (no older than the late eighteenth century) attributes the destruction to Coptic Christian Archbishop Theophilus of Alexandria in 391, who called for the destruction of the Serapeum; but in fact there was no connection between the library and the Serapeum and some historians of late antiquity do not take the claim seriously. Another version of the story, not recorded till the thirteenth century, blames the Muslim sacking of Alexandria in 642.
Intended both as a commemoration and an emulation of the original, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina was inaugurated in 2002 near the site of the old library.

sarapeum catacombs
A journey through the catacombs of the Sarapeum, close to the complex of Zoser at Saqarra. We examine and measure the gigantic granite boxes somehow transported through the narrow and rough tunnels to their vaults, where they were finished and polished in place! A data correction; the feeler gauge used was inch not metric, so the thickness was .003 inch, not 003 MM! My apologies.

Serapeum, Part 1
On my third day in Egypt, I was lucky enough to be able to catch a tour of Saqqara with Yousef Awyan and Mohamed Ibrahim of the Khemit School of Ancient Mysticism.
We spent the entire day in Saqqara. First at the tombs of some nobles then moving to the Serapeum then to Pyramid of Djoser complex.
This site is truly fascinating. Please give yourself ample time to explore this area. Without tipping the guards, one of the boxes is open to explore. If you tip the guards, you can explore the other boxes as well.
There was no one else there besides us. This site is a huge mystery, the size, shape, location, composition of these boxes is a marvel with more questions than answers.
Listen carefully to what Yousef and Mohamed say. It will blow your mind.
