One thing I missed seeing in the video. Memetic people only had copper tools and sleds. The wheel being obtained from another group of people means they would not have had the pulley or rail system mentioned. Also where did they get the variety of trees mentioned in the desert. One more thing. My car weighs about 1 ton. Their boats could hold the equivalent of 45 Mercedes and float? I wasn’t aware of that. Can we demonstrate that as well

The largest stone sarcophagi were built and installed in the 5th century BC and later. By that time the winch and pulley system was known in the area as were things like the wheel, iron tools, etc. The winch winches were described as being made of sycamore which was a common tree in ancient Egypt. For people who had the means to build huge sarcophagi I don't think that having a couple dozen logs to use as rollers would have been an insurmountable expense.

@@amnqetu_Cipher-da-Builder EDIT: oops sorry I was wrong. To carry a cubic metre of granite (approx 2.7 to 3 tonnes) you'd need to displace 3 cubic metre of water. To carry 45 tonnes you'd only need to displace 45 cubic metres of water. It's a well and long understood principle. Displacement. No need for it to be demonstrated since it is the backbone of shipping. Eureka- Archimedes. to float 45 tonnes the boat needs to displace approx 120 cubic metres of water. The boats depicted by Egyptians themselves would have a gross tonnage well over that. Larger ancient boats/barges such as Roman- Phoenician well over a 1000 tonnes carrying capacity. Carrying 45 tonnes is small potatoes for a boat, especially on the smooth Nile where you could just as easily tie together some small barges. No need to demonstrate it as it's being demonstrated right now. Traditional dhows and wooden ocean going fishing boats

Question for Mariette: How is it possible for rollers to leave traces in a stone floor? Rollers only roll, they do not slide or drag across a surface causing wear like a sled would. Also, the box that rested on a niche full of sand, was it open or closed? If closed, did he open it, and if so what was found inside? Nothing? And did he find wide planks on the sand beneath it for the rollers to roll on? Were rollers underneath the box at all? If not, then how could it have been forced across the surface of the sand or some wide planks? It isn't conceivable that it could have been pulled, nor is it conceivable that it could have been pushed by mere muscle power. You can't employ a long, strong lever bar in sand. I guess the winches could have been used by anchoring them into the walls but still, something had to be used to allow the box to slide. So, was anything found beneath the box? If not, or no mention was made either way, we are still in the dark. What has gone totally unaddressed is the logic for the sub-surface design of the niches. Why are they not at floor level as would be expected? Could the Egyptians really have feared that that would leave open a real possibility of the boxes being rolled out of the Serapeum and stolen? And that question raises the question of how it could be possible to lift them onto rollers considering their massive weight. It's probably true that they had long and strong steel leverage bars for use in moving stone blocks, but lifting blocks of such weight would not have been a routine process that would have made levers of such size and strength necessary. No doubt none have ever been discovered.

Paused it at 3:18 to write this. My impression of how the boxes got there when I was there was they dug trenches, lowered the boxes into them, then covered the trenches without actually burying them. Ok back to watching. I like it! The sand thing is genius. My only questions: with the precision the boxes are made, why are the hieroglyphs on the one so shoddy? There are granite sarcophagus in the Cairo museums that have hieroglyphs that look laser etched with intricate details; the one in the Serapeum looks like it got carved by a 10 year old with a pocketknife. Could the bulls be considered less important than the Pharaoh's, so less time given to the details? But if that were the case, why so much attention to the boxes themselves? I mean you can almost cut yourself on the edges, and the inside corners are very well defined, I thought. It would've been a lot of work to achieve that, why cut corners (pun only sort of intended) on the inscription? Also, wasn't only one of the boxes found to actually have a bull in it? Even though they all were sealed? I just found this video so I haven't seen part one yet, apologies if these are things that already have been covered. In fact, I'll table any other questions I have until I see part one and get those PDF's. Thank you sirs for your work on this, and your closing line is much appreciated. I have a theory that anytime there is a one or the other argument about anything, the best answer is some kind of combination of the two arguments. Which is a long way of saying that I still don't think the Great Pyramid was built as a tomb for Khufu in 20 years, or that the status of Ramses at Luxor were done by hand, but if anyone is going to convince me otherwise it will be this channel. Anyhoo, thanks again for the new info and good attitude!

Right on fish dude, thanks for the long and contemplative comments. We address the historical context of the crappy hieroglyphs on the one box with writings all over it in part 3. It was basically the moment that Egypt was about to fall to the Romans and Cleopatra was about to commit suicide. Things were crazy right then. It makes perfect sense that they rushed to make the largest of all inscriptions in the Serapeum at the last minute, as an offering to their god, knowing very well that soon the long withstanding cult of Apis would soon come to an end. Keep in mind that the priests who would’ve carved those inscriptions would not have been the same skilled workers who made the sarcophagi. It’s entirely different work. There are also countless examples around Egypt of outstanding hieroglyphic inscriptions that were undoubtedly done in dynastic times. I highly recommend to watch part 3 of this series, as we break down the entire 1,300+ year history of the site, bull by bull, pharaoh by pharaoh, and go through the records left behind by the Egyptians on stone stelae that document the entire history of the site. Once you review all of the evidence, there’s no mystery any more. We know that the boxes are not as precise as Christopher Dunn led everyone to believe they are, we know how the boxes were moved and we know exactly when and under the reign of which pharaoh all of the work was done. Thanks for tuning in and taking this topic seriously. Cheers!

The Serapeum is so fascinating and is held in the highest regard by folks who see it as the smoking gun of a lost high technology and advanced, pre-dynastic civilization. But upon closer inspection, what we've found is that is entirely unfounded. There is a clear historical record of every single bull, chamber and sarcophagus in the Serapeum and there is no need, whatsoever, to invoke any lost technology, and the boxes are not even as precise as Christopher Dunn led everyone to believe they are. The whole things falls apart when you just dig into the real research done on the site. Hopefully this deep dive 3 part series will help some LAHT folks realize they're wrong.

At 13:00 we learn from Brugsch (?) that rails were present (along the floors of the corridors) on which the rollers would have moved the boxes, but that logic fails. Rails were not needed for rollers at all since they roll regardless. Rails would only be used as guides for wheels... probably made of hard metal or strong man-made cast & fired stone. They would be far less clumsy to move from the back to the front while rolling considering the tight confinement of the corridors. One man alone would have been able to carry such a wheel... or simply roll it on the ground. Wooden rollers like those depicted in the childish drawing would be impossible to use. You failed to mention the fatal flaw in that lame drawing, which is that all of the rollers are touching the others. In the real world the side of a roller facing inward would be turning in a downward direction in relation to the roller further in, while it in turn would be turning in an upward direction. Opposite directions! Because of that they would instantly stop the second that they made contact. What would prevent them from making contact?? Nothing. 15 logs under a block 12 feet long would have to have a diameter much smaller than depicted. If they were a foot thick each then they would span 15 feet while touching. If they were 8 inches thick then the space between them would be less than 1.75 inches. Not enough to prevent contact. Why so? Because.... in order to assure perfect spacing during movement every roller would have to have the exact same diameter as well as be perfectly round, -with no exceptions. Plus... the floor would have to be PERFECTLY flat with no dips or rises perpendicular to the corridor because logs would either stop rolling in a dip or would bear all of the weight of too many surrounding logs over a rise or convex stretch of the floor. That added weight would crush its top and bottom surfaces, changing their shape from perfect roundness to somewhat flattened on two opposite sides. Such a roller would not then be able to roller perfectly with the others. Also, no one has ever addressed the problem of how to raise such a weight in order to place anything under it. Is there somewhere a depiction of a massive A-frame with a huge winch at its apex which could raise one end via ropes run beneath it? No one has indicated any reason to believe that they had such technology although the Romans did.
@mikebarnes-co9jg17 сағат бұрын
Wheels would be impossible because when turning as the front wheel follows the track the back wheels follow a different path causing more friction, and the axels what material would be strong enough to make axels that could support the weight

Here's some calculations to consider: the cutting rate for a slab saw is stated to be 2 cubic inches per hour... 2 inches deep and 2 inches across, right? So to cut a hypothetical surface of 10' x 10' would involve 120 1-inch square faces across and 120 1-inch square surfaces down, totaling 14,400 1-inch square surfaces. Cutting at the rate of four squares per hour it would take 3,600 hours. Divide that number by 8 hours per day and you get 450 days to cut a slab surface 10' x 10'. That is 75 weeks or about 1 1/2 years. So to saw the 7 sides of a box & lid would take about 10.5 years when you add vacation and weekend days off. With one man on each end of a slab saw it would require 21 man-years for a single face of a massive stone column (Osirion) or Serapeum box. There isn't a single sane person on Earth who thinks that any set of sane human beings in history would have ever engaged in such an effort. Just because it's 'possible' doesn't mean it would be practical or conceivable.

Just a thought but on the other way unfinished boxes. When the emperor Honorious closed the cults and locked up the various Serapeum there was a rush to get things inside and complete. Those in niches 4 and 5 are very roughly finished. It would have been a few days work to grind off and polish those unfinished parts. The niches themselves look rough my finished also. Those holes in the walls look to have been removed in other niches. With only traces remaining. Just some thoughts but I imagine the closure of those cults came fast and harsh.
@AncientPresence2 жыл бұрын
Indeed the closure of the Serapeum came fast and harsh, although chambers 4 and 5 were made some 500 years before that happened. They were kinda janky and sloppy, because that was a turbulent and unstable time period in Egypt and they were made hastily. The southern facing new tunnel in chamber 4 was intended to be a new gallery of chambers, although that plan was abandoned and the westward direction was continued instead, eventually resulting in the best made boxes and chambers of the Ptolemaic Dynasty era (boxes 10-22). The site basically runs chronologically from east to west, progressively becoming more and more advanced, with nicer quality boxes and chambers, all the way until the end of the Ptolemaic Dynasty that coincided with Cleopatra's death. The empty chamber 10 was almost certainly where the final box that was abandoned in the hallway was intended to end up in. But Egypt fell and that was a wrap.

It’s as closed to settled as possible, based on the papers we’ve read about this.

All can be explained easily and with common sense practical techniques that were used for thousands of years until modern times. What do you mean 8,000 foot mountain? Your wording makes it sound impossible. Are you talking about Machu Picchu? The valley is only a few hundred meters below it, it’s not like people transported stones up 8,000 feet in elevation. And Machu Picchu was largely created with the stones that sit right there on the top of the mountain. It’s literally a quarry site. I remember a video from Ancient Architects where he talked all about that. The “handbag” idea has also been covered thoroughly by channels like World Of Antiquity: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5OWd3WCisyrnLs It’s easy to see things as grand mysteries because of the ways we’ve been taught about them from alternative researchers, but when you dive deeper there are always solid and tangible explanations.

We know these are sarcophagi because more than 1,000 stone stelae were discovered in the Serapeum by Auguste Mariette, that detail the entire historical timeline of the site, one Apis Bull burial at a time. They discuss digging the tunnels, burying the bulls, how many weeks and months and days it took them to make the boxes, carve the chambers and transport them into the chambers. They discuss how many workers were doing the work, how many days of holiday they had between working days, and so much more. It is very clear that the Dynastic Egyptians made the Serapeum. Bull remains were not found inside of the stone sarcophagi, because they were looted in ancient times. But Mariette found many mummies of bulls in wooden sarcophagi in the older "Lesser Galleries" that connect to the larger tunnels. There were a total of 64 Apis Bulls buried in the Serapeum in total. Please watch our first video on the Serapeum, where we discuss the stone cutting experiments that people have done in order to prove that primitive tools are definitely capable of achieving this degree of stone work. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6rWiodoa5WXp7c

The Sciences in Ancient Greece & Rome: How Far Did They Get? on YT In the Q&A at the end he talks about that. The people doing it weren't masons or tradespeople, an old stone mason walked by and saw how badly they were working and helped them out. This is a common theme in these made for TV documentaries, totally inexperienced people trying to do work that they have no experience in doing. The reverse would be a master carpenter trying to do the books for a large business. Of course he will fail, therefore it's impossible to do taxes and payroll? The experiments that mystery lost tech keep showing and talking about are done by scholars for documentaries rather than by people who do low tech as a living. Mark Lerner presented an experiment to replicate the sphinxes nose, for a documentary with a 2 week time frame. It was a cringe fest as the so called "ancient tool experts" used annealed copper chisels, they use a stone hammer and swing it high above their heads? The modern tools were brought in to get it in done in the time frame demanded by the film crew. That is in the documentary "HD Documentary Egyptian Sphinx - RIDDLES OF THE SPHINX" can be found on YT. The boat you mention, again the people doing it are not skilled in moving. But ancient cranes reconstructions can easily do it, old timers in quarries and logging sites moved and lifted those types of weights with ease using lo tech. Ask an Amish person how they do things without modern tech rather than a city slicker trying it for the first time. You are painting things in a way that encourages mystery theory but not in the reality of known ancient methods, which were standard procedure for many people even up to WW2, and in some parts of the world still being used today.

They even told us how long it took them to excavate chambers and move the sarcophagi into them. There’s no question as to who made this site.

When one of the sealed boxes was blown up with explosives was there a bull in the box? I think they may have found 1 *I could be wrong*, but if that were the case could that have been left by a different civilization, not the the initial craftsmen?

Indeed, please provide some real evidence that proves how perfectly carved these vessels are. Odds are that out of the 40,000 of them, most are probably just standard level of hand craftsmanship while some are of extra fine quality. And how about you try to recreate one by hand to see if it can be done? Scientists Against Myths did exactly that, several times and achieved great results. People just say things like “impossible with our current level of technology” without any stone cutting experience or awareness of the capabilities of ancient stone carvers who worked slowly and mastered their crafts. Throughout history, people have created masterpieces by hand time and time again. Yet only today, since we created rapid machine technology, do people speculate that the things we see in Egypt are impossible to recreate by hand. Keep in mind that Christopher Dunn only measured ONE SINGLE BOX in the Serapeum. And who has precisely measured the 40,000 vessels you’re referring to…? Probably nobody. We have an incomplete set of data to support that these items are so advanced, that they would be impossible to make by hand. Our part 1 video, we showed many stone cutting experiments that prove how it can be done. UnchartedX said achieving a 1.5 micron polish is impossible and Sacred Geometry Decoded achieved it no problem and filmed the whole process of polishing and measuring it with a surface roughness gauge. All this talk of “impossible” keeps getting proved wrong again and again, so be careful with that kind of thinking. Did you watch our part 1 video? In part 3, which we’re finishing up probably today, we’ll show you the full historical timeline of the Serapeum and discuss why the Egyptians went to such lengths to honor their sacred deity. With all their wealth and power and religious importance to reenact the rituals of life, death and resurrection… of course they would make these grand stone sarcophagi for their god and bury them underground in a sacred catacomb in the larger necropolis of Saqqara, the most sacred burial ground of them all. It all makes perfect sense, if you read the historical accounts. One must study the full scope of the topic to understand it properly. Cheers.

Making an entire sarcophagus would be unbelievably expensive, would require a group of people to dedicate months or years of their lives to to, is an extremely unreasonable request and is just not going to happen, plain and simple. We only need experiments that demonstrate the basic stone working principles required to make these boxes. Remember, that the boxes are not even as precise as people have been led to believe they are. And polishing stone surfaces down to 1.5 microns flatness, measured by a surface roughness gauge, is no mystery. The Serapeum boxes are not space age precision. There's no need to replicate an entire sarcophagus.

Creates a sort of protective layer to slow the wearing of the copper. You’d only need 1 blade though since the worn copper is trapped in the abrasive slurry and is panned out and recycled. By the end of it all virtually no copper would be lost. If the boss wasn’t keeping track then clever workers would be selling it

Don’t get it twisted all you imaginative ancient alien theorists out there. Your colorful suppositions and engaging opinions on the colossally misunderstood and incomplete records of so many ancient mysteries although perhaps debatably inaccurate are nonetheless awe-inspiring and well constructed works of historical fiction that I will no doubt continue to gravitate towards when feeding my voracious appetite for the fantastic-no matter how many sober and logical arguments and concrete evidence is brought to bear upon this subject and those like it.

I'll be reading Le Serapeum de Memphis in French. Meanwhile, I have a couple of questions. While would they use wooden winches in the iron age? How much weight can a wooden winch take? When turning the box 90 degrees you'll need more than 2.5 ton pull as you are coming off the rollers. That's it for the moment.

You should be congratulated for the clear hard work you've done researching and translating books re the work done by the serapeum's 1800's explorers. For me a big part of the verification for this site being created by 'dynastic' Egyptians will be part 3 and the stelae detailing the construction, intriguing especially as they seemingly didn't leave such information that we know of regarding their greatest achievement, the three main pyramids, sphinx etc. So it will be fascinating if we have a 'genuine' 'construction manual' for the serapeum written in stone. I agree your video should start a discussion with other researchers. Unfortunately the default position is usually for all parties to retreat to their own. Well, in fairness to all followers of this subject, who sustain it, a discussion damn well should be had, not tit for tat, comment to comment, but a round table or zoom discussion
@AncientPresence2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the awesome comment and for supporting our work! Indeed, part III will unveil the historical records in the stone stelae, which will blow some peoples' minds. The Egyptians recorded the extension of tunnels, the excavation of chambers, how many workers worked for how many days//weeks/months in order to carve a sarcophagus and transport it into its chamber and even how many holidays they took off from their work. It's all written in the stone. We would also love to do a round table discussion about the evidence found at sites like the Serapeum and we actually invited this before, but one party was not interested, unfortunately. Maybe some day. In the mean time, we're planning on doing more podcasts about this topic with interesting people, to keep the conversation developing in a healthy way and analyze the real history of places like the Serapeum.

Your study has solid validity in regard to moving large stones. Agreed. This does prompt me to question, however, the amount of time invested in moving and manpower invested ~ it would be tremendous. It’s one thing to speculate moving moving the boxes into the pyramid. Then extrapolate these tried and true simple methods for moving every single block of the pyramids. We’re talking thousands of years just to build the pyramid. Yes, it’s possible. But it’s a matter of scale. Next, there’s still the glaring question of how the old kingdom bronze tools can shape stones of granite. Again, sure, it could be done, but the manpower and hours of time input would be tremendously large. It is an unanswered question. The mysteries are not solved and as we apply modern high precision analysis the disconnect of old kingdom capability from the physical evidence before us begs, no screams that we have not got it right with the dating.

Hey, thanks for being respectful in your questioning. These boxes would have been made in the New Kingdom and Ptolemaic periods of egypt - a time when bronze and iron were being used. There are still many mysteries, we dont have it all figured out - but we have found more and more evidence that has proved many of our beliefs about high technology wrong.

Neither the wood nor the 'unlowered' box with its 4 niches described by Mariette were ever found/analysed again? Aren't all boxes imbalanced due to them having their lid pushed off (except the blown up one)? If this is the case, he must have opened this one - which I hope he says. Seems to be a bit odd nevertheless. The method of lowering would also mean that you'd see all the boxes sit on top of some rectangular base filled with sand or have them inbalanced since you have to leave a residual amount of sand below them

@@RedDarkBull there are many reasons why something may be left unfinished. Could have been costs. Could have been that a particular pharaoh died before completion. Could have been the change in rulers at that time. There are many projects left unfinished in modern times. Bull mummies were found in the lesser galleries. There were over a thousand stele found documenting the history of the serapeum found on site. Nit-picking at the evidence ignores the bigger picture.

There is a video of a guy demonstrating how he erects large stone blocks with the concept of leverage. i agree that a lot of archeologist are romancing the idea of mystery seeking rather than plausible solutions. id look for countries that are still labor intensive in the construction industry and see how they would figure out the solution.
