Ancient narrow rooms and tunnels filled with rock cuts that have surprised archaeologists to have been cut only by diamond cutters, the mystery of the Egyptians, with large and empty granite boxes made from single blocks of granite weighing about 100 tons 😱
With an archaeological excavation in the Saqqara area south of Giza, AD. In 1851, a French researcher named Auguste Mariette Jha discovered one of the most complex and mysterious underground structures, the Seraphim Temple in Saqqara. Seraphim means long corridor carved in circular letters..Saqqara rock plateau, and this corridor ends in several narrow rooms.
The word Seraphim comes from a combination of Serapis, Apis, the name of the sacred bull, and the gods Sorok and Osiris. The cow was believed to embody those gods as well as an even more ancient deity, Ptah. According to the French writer Antoine Gigel, when the bull died, the priests looked for the reincarnation of the bull in the Nile River, the holy animal in its sacred colors "black and white with a white belly, with a white tinge to it." , depicted a scarab-shaped mark under the tongue and a tail with two long hairs.
Looking at the smoke-blackened wall niches lined with small oil lamps, you can imagine the old experience of wandering the main corridors by candlelight. In the 19th century, guides would use torches or relays on mirrored sections for direct sunlight.
Hieroglyphics and figures of bulls carved on some sarcophagi are visible decorations. Merritt found several domesticated bulls at Saqqara, a portion of the Serapeum was sent to the Louvre along with a gold bull statue found in small quarries at the entrance to the Serapeum, a larger necropolis, and votive paintings. In the collection of the Egyptian Museum in the square.
All these tunnels and basements are empty except for these very large empty coffins. This is a strange puzzle even for archaeologists today. These coffins must weigh more than 100 tons. How was the lifting and pulling of these single granite boxes in such a narrow space? How were these cut? How did they know how to make such cuts in the past?. The coffins have 0% angle errors. Above all, no one knows how all the coffins entered through this tunnel, and the entrance is only 3 meters wide, which is exactly The width of a coffin is, if we assume that the width of the coffin is exactly the same. The length of the door is about one and a half meters below ground level, and the width of each room is the width of the sarcophagus.
The confusing puzzle of this pyramid plateau is that the stones of the pyramid built on the ground were poured into different types of stone molds and melted or made for them. According to the scientific and scholarly opinion, at least 400 to 500 workers are needed for the construction of the sarcophagus. Of course, the place doesn't have room for that many people to move around in. It's not room for them to work because of the size of the coffin! Look at the pictures and pay attention to them, the ancient Egyptians decided to create a greatness that would attract and amaze anyone who came after them, but this has also become one of the underground mysteries.
