At the Saqqara Serapeum temple in Egypt, there are giant square granite coffins weighing hundreds of tons, confusing world scientists.
The Serapeum of Saqqara has been a constant source of speculation and mystery since its rediscovery in 1850. Even now, no theory can explain exactly how or why the more than 20 giant stone sarcophagi are transported to this location and installed exactly in their slots. .
The official theory is that the site was used to bury Apis bulls, but archaeological finds show that there are many factors that contradict this belief.
Located northwest of the pyramid of Djoser, in Saqqara, is the Saqqara Serapeum temple. According to archaeologists, this is the burial place of the Apis bulls, the incarnation of the god Ptah, the Egyptian god of creation and power. This cemetery located near Memphis (Egypt) is said to have been built by Ramses II around 1300 BC. Since its discovery in 1850, the Serapeum of Saqqara has baffled archaeologists and researchers, and since then the excavated tunnels have become an object of much debate. This majestic and ancient labyrinth contains more than 20 megalithic stone “boxes”, weighing between 70 and 100 tons…
For example, the size of these stone coffins exceeded the size of the bulls and this has led to a variety of questions about whether it was made to provide more comfort for the bulls. ? If this is true, why not do the same with the pharaohs, who were buried in coffins that adapted to their bodies? Why was the Serapeum sarcophagus made of granite and not limestone, a much easier material to work with? And if the Serapeum is where the Apis bulls were buried, where are the mummified bulls?
Compare the size of a bull mummy (approximately 2.3 meters long) and a Serapeum sarcophagus according to Linant-Bey measurements.
Some have dismissed the theory that the Serapeum sarcophagus was used for a ceremonial burial, but if that were not the case, what was it used for? That is the question that some Egyptologists ask themselves…
Part of these megalithic boxes are 30-ton lids made from the same stone blocks. When they were discovered, some of them had been opened with gunpowder, but the inside of these giant boxes was empty. Researchers do not know what they were used for or how they were created thousands of years ago…
Over the centuries, there have been many reports of lights appearing in different shapes and for different periods of time in the ground, just before, during or after earthquakes. A recent case of earthquakes was reported in L’Aquilla, Italy in 2009, when it was hit by a 6.3 magnitude earthquake. Just before the earthquake, residents reported seeing lights over the city. This phenomenon has been analyzed in detail and around 1,000 people have been interviewed. The conclusion of the study is that the electrical charges released during the earthquake cause the light effect.
Interestingly, most of these boxes are made of pink granite, an extremely hard rock quarried about 800 kilometers from Saqqara, while other boxes are made of an even harder material, diorite, found even further from Saqqara. The precision of the boxes is another feature that baffles researchers or anyone visiting the site, with deviations recorded as low as a thousandth of an inch.
Although this phenomenon has been known since ancient times, recent video surveillance (installed in practically every corner of the city) helps researchers analyze it. And several research groups have done it. A team from Saint Joseph’s University led by Professor Freund collected data from 65 different locations around the world where there was seismic illumination. Extensive work has been done to analyze the data and the physics behind it. The results show that the earthquake light phenomenon is caused by the stress of granitic materials in the ground. Theoretical and experimental verifications were completed to support the results.
Many may therefore wonder whether a similar light mechanism could have been used in the Serapeum in predynastic times. When granite coffins are subjected to mechanical stress, an electrical charge appears. The loads are usually dispersed towards the ground surface. When the charges reach the surface, they ionize air pockets above the ground and can illuminate the sky over Saqqara.
Therefore, today, many people think that the giant Serapeum coffin is used to create an electrical charge with the pressure created inside by the CO2 gas. The pressure exerted on the quartz crystals created an electrical charge on the surface of the coffin. Those charges are then dispersed from the ground to the ground. The released charges ionize the air above Saqqara, causing the air to glow.
