    I lived in Egypt for many years mainly from the early 1980's til the late 1990's. On Fridays one of the things to do was go horseback riding out at the Pyramids and in the surrounding fields along the edge of the desert, which were not built up and developed at the time but agricultural land growing mango, radish and barseem.
    Early one winter Friday I took a horse from SA Stables and rode along this greenish line edging the desert to Saqqara a forty five minute ride or so, perhaps a little longer, depending on the horse. Just as we neared Saqqara I came upon an old fellahin crouching beside a circular hole in the sand, a couple of metres across and ringed by an ancient looking iron handrail partly placed around this opening.
    I wished him good morning in Arabic, walked the horse around the hole and peered down into the depths. There was some kind of chamber about 35 metres below. A vertical steel ladder lead down to a sandy floor. Partly visible lay what looked like a large stone sarcophagi tilted and abandoned to one side.
    Dismounting I gave the reins to the old man to hold, which he took without bothering to rise to his feet, went back to the hole, swung my legs over the railing and clambered down the steel ladder into the chamber.
    I had no flashlight but the strong Egyptian sunlight made a cone of light in which I could see, when down on the floor below, several dozen more sarcophagi, some with lids, some without, some with lids partially in place. A low roofed tunnel stuffed to the ceiling with more sarcophagii went off into the gloom in the general direction of the Step Pyramid.
    A few of these abandoned sarcophagi had been lined up neatly enough, side by side and close enough to be touching, along the east side of the corridor. But the rest looked as if they had been scattered by some gigantic flood!
    Widening my search along the tunnel sometimes having to clamber over the sarcophagi squeezing between lid and a low ceiling, as the underground chamber, or stone mason's yard, whatever it was moved roughly in the direction of the Step Pyramid which would have been a short walk above ground. Down here who could tell? Ahead lay more sarcophagi just as disarranged and the tunnel ceiling appeared to be narrowing, the air becoming stuffy so I decided to call a halt to this particular adventure.
    Retracing my steps to the ladder, I climbed up to the sun and fresh air to find the old fellahin waiting patiently with my horse.
    I gave him 50 piastres for his trouble which was quite a lot of money in those days.
    Seeing this video brought back old memories-hence the story, as well as providing a better understanding.
    After looking at the map of the greater and lesser vaults I think that the entrance down the ladder I found that day might have been at the northern tip of the lesser vaults and that the 'flood' was more likely caused by Mariette's dynamite.

    it's fascinating that egyptologists dismiss away all this early tech as being accomplished recently and with simple human power.
    However, the suppossedly superior civilazation with more modern tools STILL considers these objects virtually immovable AND used explosives and steel pry bars just to see inside! Technology indeed!
    Not to mention the entire facade of the egyptians building the pyramids, forgetting what they were there for (theyre not burial chambers) and then looting the casement stones for their own building projects while looting and otherwise trashing the place.
    They dumped a diorite statue on its head into a pit. This is not indicative of a culture who spent a long time creating these artifacts. And their use is unknown to the vapid egyptologists who try desperately to constrain everything to their comfortable timeline

      'an apparatus using or applying mechanical power and having several parts, each with a definite function and together performing a particular task.'
      You will notice the definition makes no mention of exotic materials, electric or combustion motors, digital controls, wires, batteries or sophisticated bearings.
      Simple machines that are widely used include the wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, screw, wedge and lever. All of these things can be made from wood, bronze and stone.

    Maybe they were a bank vault for the prior civilisations elite.
    Ancient Egyptians found them and got one opened and put a bull in it.
    We discover this and assume the ancient Egyptians were sacrificing bulls at a sacred temple.
    But really it's just banks vaults from times past.
    Seems no ones been able to steal the safe boxes in over 13,000 years, although one was almost taken out. (Not being brought in, as assumed about the one that sits in the hallway.)
    Maybe, I dunno

      Knowing how Ancient Egyptians were able to create such structures you don't need another imaginary civiization in the equation. They simply abandoned the project doing something very stupid like closing the lids of other vaults first because "it is too much work to lift them with pulleys again" and wanted to end with that task in hand quickly. Or even because the lids took too much space within the structure and the passing time rot the bodies of other bulls and decomposed them so they failed. They only managed to get one bull in before its body started to rot. They effed up.

    If the temperature was 10 -20 minus celsius for a long period of time when they constructed the Serapeum. Then moving the boxes on a sheet of ice would be an easy way. Actually,, If you create a block of ice with cotton inside it, then you could place the box of ice on another sheet of ice (the floor) and place 100 tons on the box of ice with cotton inside it and then easily slide the box inside the tunnel without the box of ice cracking. Its a fact,, the question is IF the temperature was right, and IF it was, then they could easily have used this technique as I did as a child living in the north. Ice on a solid ground is extreamly strong and only few millimeters of it on the raod make trucks over 70 tons slide of the road every year. Many people think that the pyramids and such in Egypt was construckted some 20-35,000 years ago, IF so, then the temperature might have been right. Just saying.

      However, it is true that stressed granite emits a charge, ( although it takes a very high degree of compression to create a charge great enough to cause airglow )
