In this, the final Chapter of my Serapeum Series, we investigate the evidence for a lost ancient civilization at the Serapeum, take a look at the evidence for renovation and inheritance on the site, and discuss what it all means in the broader context for the story of history and human civilization.
In previous episodes, I've been promising conclusions and that I would tell you what I really think about the history of this site - and so I do, and it extends to much of ancient Egypt.

For anyone that’s done any of this kind of video work, your dedication to this subject, the hours of hard work doing research, writing, assembling images and footage to make the videos, the narration and endless hours of editing and putting it all together are themselves monumental.
People like Hancock, yourself, and many other “amateurs” who’ve done this kind of research and documentation are, in fact, way ahead of the so-called professionals.
Hawass, for example, is nothing more than a arrogant fraud...
Just sayin'😎
Correct. But anyone wanting advancement (higher income, recognition ... money, honours ... teaching positions) must toe-the-line, no?
So history is 'interpreted' for us by the line-toe folks - 'advancement' by correct-speak.
Myself, I prefer open minds (open, I said, not vacant) and the rest of us just accept what we're told by The Experts.
to be fair mate hancock is boring and i agree with him on his thesis just not sure hes making a good case for it and then goes down some mystical route and all this new age codswallop which i have absolutely no time for and to be honest i find with people like brien forester their just sayign stuff people want to hear cause theyve already decided in their beleifs and their just facilitating it people i suppoese are more invclined to follow people that fit in with their beleif system i suppose while in principal i agree with hancock im just not sure of the validity of how hes presenting it
This is the single best, most comprehensive and dead-on video on this subject matter ive ever seen.
I am a Professional Geologist and Engineer. I totally agree with your conclusions that the works you exhibited represent two entirely different levels of technology. Just look at modern tombstones: finely cut and polished by modern power tools AND the finely polished inscriptions on them; ALSO made with modern power tools. Your conclusions become "blatantly obvious to the casual observer", yet so-called experts can't see them....ridiculous!! And yes, I support the cataclysmic theory's that have emerged regarding what the earth experienced at the time marked by the Younger Dryas. Keep up the good work, your ideas will eventually be recognized as science fact. Remember the difficulties faced by researchers like Galileo! The fight for the truth continues.
I'm always reminded of galileo with these things. It's amazing what scientists refuse to see
Any machinery would have been scrapped for its superior metallurgy-unless there were areas they were unable up get at.
@A H The people that scratched that graffiti into the granite would have constituted the First Kingdoms most educated and trusted elites. So like humanity-unable to draw a straight line like capable of perpetuating a con job spanning a thousand generations.
Hey Tony, as a geologist and engineer your words stand out. How these incredibly hard stones like basalt, diorite, granite, corundum were cut and carved to such perfection spanners my head. I do have an understanding of what it takes to do these things. I also understand these things were not possible to achieve with the tools in the archeological record........peade to ya.
High quality and low quality work co-exist in any period.
That guy showing you around is a treasure.
As a calligrapher I feel empathy for whoever was detailed to scratch the hieroglyphics on these hard glossy things with whatever tool his boss assigned to him.
Standing up in possibly semi darkness sweating and trying to do a good job it must have seemed an endless task. Spare a kindly thought for the inscribers.
what makes you think he/she had a boss?
Everyone has a boss...

This is the best video to-date of the Serapeum and an excellent presentation of the ancient high-civilization theory. You've done our community a great service Ben, thank you guys for everything.
I added the series to my playlist tab on my channel, I'll let my subscribers know. Thanks again.
Thank you!
@@AncientHistoryCriticisms ...thanks for the tip! Andrew.
@@zdcyclops1lickley190 ...they all used drugs!
Yes it is & I've been following everything I could find for years & years.
I know its four years later, though I just stumbled upon your series as an everyday person who had never given a second thought to the history narrative that I've been fed. Without any knowledge whatsoever on this subject, I sit here in utter awe and amazement as to why we've not corrected, or at the very least slashed out areas of the history books that clearly make no sense. For some obscure reason Id always looked at pictures of historical scribings and markings on objects and seen them as cohesive and in-line with the story that was being told. Now all of a sudden, they look like poorly done grafiti on otherwise beautifully made objects, almost in an attempt to claim them. Thank you for your dedication to this subject. These vids very much leave me question why after why after why, and for that I thank you. Troy, Melb AU.
@ccgooser I too am amazed at what I've learned from watching this channel. As a child in the 1970s, I was taught that the pyramids were built by slaves pulling on blocks of stone. They never mentioned the use of core drills, skill sawa and the like. If you haven't seen them yet, I would recommend Ben's videos on the precision stone vases. Truly eye opening and another thing that I was never taught in school.
The reality of all this is weirder than a Sci Fi novel...
Oh my frend, and this is just the tip of the iceberg that we have started scratching at... Ancient egyptians had helicopters and airplanes, the ancient hindus had flying vimanas (which were basically electro-magnetic levitating vehicles), the mezo-americans build mega cities of millions of people (we can still see the ruins at the edges of south american cities on google earth), they had an understanding of the universe and electro-magnetism the likes of which we are barely scratching now and of course, they had wireless electricity and radio for thousands of years as we see pyramids (the power plants of their age) all over the world. They used stone melting technology to shape and fit any types of stone, they used sound frequencies in a way that leaves us dumb founded and they also lived in an age of spiritual enlightenment in which telepathic communication was the norm (we see no written language on any of the older sites, statues, artefacts, etc).
They had rail travel, air travel, naval travel and it was all electric and non-pollutant. They lived in harmony with nature and with each other. It was truly the golden age.
for me this site is the most inexplicable of all the ruins in the ancient world.....& the complex hasn't been systematically explored yet.. there undoubtedly is more that is nearby waiting to be discovered yet....
This is the original sci fi movie. Where do you think Gene Roddenberry got his idea from? Only true scientiest dare to tackle this serapeum episode. And most keep it silent. Go aussie ;)
@@joskojansa1235
what in the heck was it built for ?...& by whom....to me it's the greatest mystery of the ancient world....
@@garyschultz7768 its the greatest mistery staring right at my face, disrespectfully, not caring what the f. I think of it.
I own a small prototype tooling shop, producing tools for casting small series. I breathe problems for carvings every day. And this Serapeum spits at me just by nature. Like I said. Very disrespectful.
I've just watched this full series and I must congratulate you on a job well done, extremely well researched and presented. I was in awe watching it, I'm now going to dive into your other videos. Kudos to you 👍🏻
Whats in a name they ask. Sus Atlantis the Final Straw on youtube.
It's like watching the History Channel when it was the History Channel
@@thinkstep7553 Well said!
I think most evidence of ancient civilization is sitting 400 feet under the oceans ,years ago i saw where they found a village at the bottom of i believe the black sea wheres theres no oxygen so stuff dosnt decompose
I've watched at least 100 videos on ancient architecture and history. Yours are some of the very best. I especially liked your fairly long video about the Younger Dryas Impact Event. That was super. Keep up the great work.
i discovered your channel yesterday and im already like 7 hours deep into your content . such well made videos with a great deal of research . keep up the amazing work !
Right same !!
The ego of academia always stood in the way of progress. Especially in architectural and anthropological means.
Thank you for your work.
It is just as bad in “science” fields.
Modern "science" is dead, it's only about the money these days!!
religion.
It might be that the Egyptians who inherited the megalithic stonework mimicked the clothing and hairstyles from the existing statuary???
♥️ very interesting idea.
good point
I was thinking the same thing. It might be why they prized wigs so much. Both men & women of nobility wore them.
I agree with your assessment.
Bravo... Let me start by saying this is a fantastic publication wow what superb footage... I agree 100 percent there is no way any of this was done with sticks and stones and copper chisels..!! I agree they inherited the site and the processing marks are indicative of this... Excellent excellent work!! All the very best
Agreed
...Agreed!
I approves this o7
@@davidleomorley889 ....thanks for the input.
The Egyptians had tools besides stones and copper chisels. They had diamond, rubies and other hard minerals that they used to make tools tipped with these gemstones.
They Started at the TOP of the Technological ladder and worked their way Down ? Well , today we , as a civilization are currently in a race to the bottom ! . A Fantastic set of Documentaries Ben , far better than anything I have viewed by the so called "professionals " Thank you so much for all your hard work .
Your guide seems to have his own mind and ideas. A definite clash with established archeology seems certain. Good for him. Hopefully you can bring him on as part of the team.
Inheritors usually have a fraction of the care for the work of their ancestors. Just look at the world today - people are more concerned with destroying history, forgetting it or altering it rather than understanding it. Humanity, perpetually arrogant. On another note - Fantastic video!
Now we have people wanting to destroy the monuments of their forefathers again. Nothing changes.
The fall of western civilization is due to deliberate subversive corruption.
Further excavation of these tunnels is necessary. We need to find boxes which are still sealed and uncontaminated. Can't figure why this is not being done. Great series, thank you. 👍
Well Jacqueline X, if we would find a box like this, the dynastic Egyptians would have done so either.
There is much, much more underground, specially as they have done this to presurved their knowledge or machines for later generations after the deluge.
They even might have taken refugee underground, for what else could they hide in?
In capadocia we have seen that, in much easier rock to carve and dig, but what would they have done in Egypt?
There is much more underground tunnels to find, of that the later writings tell us, as being the history of Osiris himself..
@@ThomiX0.0 - Yes, there is evidence throughout the world of ancient underground human habitation. But there are no artifacts left of that time, except these maga boxes. To unearth a sealed, uncontaminated box from that time, and using the technology we have today to analyse the content, should be most revealing.
@@jacquelineloveselvis Osiris is he, who came (back) from the place where the sunlight did not reach..
The celebration of that, has been done every year near Abydos.., the dog ( Anubis) was the one who discovered the entrance under the sand( from a deluge?) and
thats probably why the Anubis-statue became important at this celebration..
So where is this entrance?
( From translations of Antoine Gigal)
It's not being done because egyptologist are fighting hard against it. Naming these sites as tombs and temples, makes it even harder to get permissions for excavation and research.
But thanks to the internet, a lot more people are asking questions and pressuring governments. So very soon, we will either see some answers or WW3. Because nothing distracts people better than a good war...
The boxes are empty and only contained time.
I'm 37 and only just started to take an interest in ancient civilizations. And BOY is it fascinating! I'm working through your channel from start to finish, watching every video, not allowing myself to jump ahead despite my excitement and temptation to. Fantastic work, this has given me shivers up my spine.
Great series. I especially appreciated the explantion of precision as related to function. 🤯 Paradigm shifting for me. 🙏
Has anyone ever taken Geiger readings in the boxes? Knowing if they have any residual radioactive material might be an enormous game changer!!
I find the smoothness and precision of the boxes quite a contrast to the crudeness of the walls.
Great video Ben. I really hope we will get to learn some of these truths in our lifetimes, or at the very least that your work, and the work of others like you, continues to drive change in this field.
You certainly have given us all quite a bit to consider, and I am grateful to you for that. The point made about the inscriptions on the boxes and statues vs the construction of the pieces themselves and how they exhibit two very different levels of craftsmanship and technology is apparent. Ive been a fan of Egyptian history ever since I can remember. Having seen these artifacts in documentaries throughout, I cannot "unsee" what I have now seen. Great job Ben, on putting forward these truly excellent deep dives into a subject that continues to fascinate myself and many others.
Incredible that you only have 37k subscribers, your content is some of the best I've found researching this sort of material. Excellent delivery and intelligent conjecture through all of the videos I have watched, working my way through. Keep up the excellent craftsmanship on these videos you are producing and no doubt success of all measures will follow.
62k, and I'm a recent convert. I love the concept of a prehistory civilization and I think we are beginning to see more evidence of tech levels far more advanced than anything suggested so far.
For me personally, I never liked the idea that intellectually equivalent people to today screwed around for 300k years living only in animal skins before they accidentally hiccupped and suddenly figured out writing and put a man on the moon in only 5k years.
I'm just waiting for someone to discover plastics or polymers in the wrong spot

Really.
It is nice to see everything I know (plus a lot I don't) all together in one place. May you get a million subs!!
Egypt, the first known street gang. Move into a nice area and just start tagging the shit out of everything. Easy to do when you didn't buy or build the house, spray paint your name down the side.
This series is undoubtedly one of the best, if not THE BEST documentary on the serapeum so far. The time you take to show it all in high quality, to discuss all the details, is only doing right to this extraordinary site.
This is exemplary of using the internet, youtube and alternative media in all of the right ways to educate and inspire people.
imagine we get wiped out and in 10k years another group of future humans find the site. they will be just as confused but have to wonder why are these steel support beams here. xD
It wouldn't take long for metal to corrode on this planet cuz everything is constantly moving
Most steel won't survive the last days nor the 10000 yrs after.
Dirty Magic11 Nothing is completely wiped out, so I do not accept the idea of a "superior" forgotten culture. It is fanciful. It seems to appeal to some I acknowledge, but that is not evidence.
@Dirty Magic11 Do you believe for example that people travelled from the middle east or from China to south America? Well of course people lived in those places and migrated there, but if people travelled and had contact across the world, sharing ideas, no.
@Dirty Magic11 It will come to that, just as it has before - even if humans build a Planet defense system to protect it from dinosaur killing sized asteroids, or even Greenland Icesheet Impact sized meteors, the Sun or the Milkyway Galaxy could still toss a curve ball our way...
The Pre-Ice Age, Pre Younger Dryas civilization was obviously far more advanced than our civilization today. Humanity nearly completely erased by the last great impact - the Elongated Skull people most likely were the original sentient beings that build the pre Ice Age, civilization. These elongated skull race of beings did have survivors - they died out after the impact and rescue... the smaller headed homo sapiens were their decendents...
This is so fascinating and I want to thank you for all your hard work. I've been absolutely enthralled by this whole series and literally couldn't wait for this final instalment. I can't help feeling that we're trying desperately to understand something that comes from somewhere beyond our extremely limited conception of this reality or even this earth? All we're ultimately left with is a deep sense of puzzlement and subsequent questions, but they come from our world view and conception of common sense and what actually fits in to how we view this world? It's seems clear to me that our world wasn't always our world, it belonged to some ancient, highly intelligent and accomplished people? I say people because I don't know what else to call them? Maybe they weren't even people, in the way that we think of people? Anyway, thanks once again. Wonderful work indeed.
In my humble opinion, The Serapeum could be 'The Halls of Amenti" as mentioned in the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, in which lay the bodies of the dwellers while they incarnated into the bodies of man (to help & guide them). There were 32.
Plus there are 7 other beings and the first 'dweller' who stay in the deep underground near the eternal flame.
Out of every 1000yrs, 100 yrs must be spent near the flame in order for the bodies (of the serapeum dwellers) to continue to 'live'. This may explain why they are empty now. AND if they wanted to return but couldn't because we found them and now give tours - they may have just created a new place to rest somewhere else.
Anyway, that's my theory.
Dude... I can't even with this place lol and for one I'm so jealous of this tour guide, hes actually into this shit and just goes up to things and says look look, why? It's perfect and then gives perspective and context, these videos are incredible
I have said this before, you deserve to have your own TV show played at prime time! Such fabulous research!
OUTSTANDING PRESENTATION , AN IRREFUTABLE CASE FOR RE~WRITING HISTORY...LOVE , RESPECT & GRATITUDE...@ +.
You don't have to holler geez... Lol jk, that's just what I feel like with all caps lol
Super evaluation. I graduated with a degree in archaeology and I never would admit that all just didn’t fit. Well done.
Thank you, that means quite a lot coming from someone with real qualifications in this field (which I most definitely lack!)
UnchartedX
Don't underrate yourself, I have learned more from your videos than in many books on Egyptology!
That was a great series from start to finish but wow what a powerful summarisation... delivered as always in a humble (I mean non egotistical) and objective way. I bought myself a subscription for my birthday and I'm so glad I did! Worth every penny and much more, thanks so much Ben!!
Brilliant work. Unparalleled photography. The perfect blend of humility and skepticism. You have advanced what remains of our tragic patchwork of a civilization - so there is hope. More, please!
I have learned more TRUE history from this channel that the 12 years I spent in the public school system.
Thank you and keep up the great work...side note_ I would love to hang out with Yousef !
Yousef is not fooled by the official explanations, that is for sure.
Archeology - as I dare to say- not even a real science. It's all personal theories, but not scientific theories, especially if they ignore science. Geology is a science, so is biology and mathematics. Archeology is based on physical evidence, but the final conclusion / explanation can be biased. Scientific theory like a mathematical equation can be proven over and over, while archeological theories are assumptions and no-repeatable. Here I am in 2019 and I don't see anyone building a great pyramid. Too expensive and too hard? And it wasn't so for the ones who made them? Imagine the amount of food they need to feed the builders and we are talking about an era when conserving food and water was a priority. I made my point.
Yousef had better watch his back, no kidding! You also, Ben!
Yousef is smart arab man. He not easily fooled by mainstream horse manure. I like him! It is people like him that will rediscover our stolen history.
I’m mean if you go only after official explanation that would mean for all of human history we did basically nothing else but build graves. Doesn’t matter if it’s longer than a life time to build it’s always a grave. Or even if there are graves beside and there not similar at all it’s still a grave. I’m pretty sure humans did other thinks in the past except builder fucking graves xD like there is soooo mich effort put in that there has to be a use for all this old stuff that we just don’t get. Try explain any tool from a dentist without knowing what it is no way we gonna guess right
@@mnomadvfx What a good useful idiot you are
Incredible series Ben! Searching for the truth is certainly in your wheelhouses and it is to the benefit of all your viewers. Thank you so much for the great work you do and that you willing share with others.
The voice of reason. Excellent discourse brother
You got me .. The unpolished writing on the high polish artifacts, that piece blows my mind! You're absolutely correct. This really does need Waaay more investigation...
Amazing..I love your attitude to all this wonder too.
One of the best videos on this subject. Its so important that this subject is promoted and treated in a rigorous critical manner; its too important.
I’ve watched most of his videos but keep coming back to this one. These boxes are fascinating with the precision and just the fact they were even moved into those alcoves is mind bending
This reminds me of the dilemma of the age of the Sphinx and how it's obviously had years of rainwater erosion.
I've often wondered if it wasn't a giant fountain sitting in the middle of a pool.
Ya, the age of sphinx controversy supports this video topic
It wasn’t rainwater! It was a major flood!!
Well if it *was* a flood, then it was one that kept flowing for thousands of years.
In the early dynastic period it rained quite a lot, like rainforest rain if not more
Thank you for this wonderful Video that asks many questions and challenges the Egyptologists' Stories.
You have no idea how much you have blessed us all with these videos. Your commentary is very important in our times now. Things are changing rapidly and unfortunately the information you have shared may be deleted in the future. But thank you so much for your travels and your time. I appreciate it very much.
Thanks for the great analysis, your rational approach to these enigmas is both valid and highly appreciable.
Excellent conclusion video of your series! I agree with your view 100% I look forward to your next videos! Keep it up lad, your doing great work!
Unrelated, Yousef has a voice where he could be saying anything and it would sound soothing. Such a beautiful voice, much like his father.
I’m blown away. My mind is numb. Truth at last. Thank you.
Excellent presentation and humbleness as is evident with the questions that remain. Thank you!!
“We are such curious monkeys”, best quote ever 😂
.......However, we DID NOT come from monkeys !!! (Turkey ! ).
It's like buying a tombstone or headstone today and engraving it yourself, a perfect headstone delivered then you hacking at it to save money.
The questions you raise are inescapable. I have a degree in anthropology. I remember coming to a conclusion that vast amounts of information was missing from the story we were "educated" with. When I questioned my archeology prof, she told me I was "discounting" the resourcefulness of the ancient Egyptians to build all this architecture. The subject was closed and not allowed debate.
This is why I love this channel and I have been watching videos over and over again, it feels like I go back to Egypt and I am part of all this epic history and mystery 🍻 Ben
Great presentation and explanations… I totally agree with everything… It's so hard to understand the function of the boxes and many other things in Egypt… So puzzling… So mysterious… It must have been a very very different Culture... And a Culture with very different goals than ours… The statues shines not only with perfection, but also with amazing harmony… So my best guess is that all is connected to deep spirituality at a level we just can't grasp yet...
I think the movement and placement of the boxes is probably the absolute lost convincing argument for utterly unknown technology.
Believe me, I am fully convinced by the level of craftsmanship. I'm a machinist who works with different metals, cutters, machines...the difference between a CNC machine from the 1980s and modern day is staggering in and of itself, and the type of precision you can achieve between the two. It's not really possible to achieve 10,000th of an inch precision on the machines from the 80s, anf still a problem repeating those results on our brand new machines. There's deflection tolerance across a few inches of material.
I find it absurd to think they achieved 10,000th inch precision across METERS of STONE using hand tools without proper measuring equipment.
I don't see the purpose of such precision if this isn't some sort of machine.
My theory is that the boxes, the statues and many other smaller objects were made by some huge CNC machines. The absolute perfection of those statues and the symmetry that is indicative of computer precision is staggering. There is no doubt in my mind those symmetric statues were made in a CNC of their times.
Have you heard of the self generation of three surface plates? In the past ( and possibly currently ) machine tools were finished by hand scraping.
I spent 15 years in the CNC milling machine industry, on the manufacturing end of things from 1985-2001 and watched the development of computer integration to manual mills and lathes. I totally agree with you, the level of precision needed to create the interiors of these boxes, at their scale, would be an amazing challenge today. The company we worked with was FADAL engineering. In the mid 1990's they had purchased surplus WW2 table mills from a shipyard in Los Angeles and converted them to run their software. The table mills used grinding wheels to mill massive iron castings that were the base for the CNC machines FADAL sold, some of the castings were a few tons. The WW2 table mills themselves were 60 feet long, 20 feet wide and 40 feet tall with giant 10 foot diameter grinding wheels on them. The casting was mounted to a table that moved side to side under the fixed position wheel. The casting was accelerated to 60 miles per hour, stopped and reversed again in a matter of seconds, back and forth to make the cuts. Standing next to this machine was terrifying. The wind that was generated in the room as the piece flew past was something to behold and the vibration in the ground was staggering. The sheer scale of it all, mixed with the vibration often gave me vertigo when I was in the room while it was running. That section of the machine shop rested on a separately poured 50 ton slab of concrete to prevent the giant mill from shaking the building and bringing down the entire 300,000 square foot building FADAL engineering was housed in, in Chatsworth, California. And THAT machine was only milling iron blocks that weighed a few tons. What machine could have cut and polished 50 ton, or 100 ton blocks? It boggles the mind.
@@OpenRoader possibly something that they haven't found yet as they say they only excavated only 15% possibly a machine of some sort because they found cogs
This is my 5th time watching this particular video. Still learning, and noticing new things. Fascinating work my friend. Keep it up👏👏
You actually do have a stake in this. We subscribe for the the same reason you are a fan of the history. Through your eyes, we see the beauty and the mystery of these ancient sites. As a layman, your conclusions are not far off the mark that these ruins were constructed by a presence of individuals with technology that predates the Egyptian dynasties. Stay true to your senses. We welcome your presentations. Great videos!
Just finished watching the full documentary. What can I say... well, I've just shared your wrap up episode 5 on dreaded fb hoping that it catches attention among my lovely square friends :)
I'm not able to support you now, but more than willing to do so when I can :) Drop me a PM if you ever come to Portugal ;)
Keep it up mate, I loved it. The music is awesome :)
Thanks! I *will* put together the full length single documentary from all the chapters at some point :)
"Just a little humor". Once archaeologists find an ancient egyptian "Pawn Shop" it will be filled with all the tools they used!!!
Thanks, Ben & crew. Fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable journey through the time-layered sandwiches of technology in Egypt.
Just recently discovered you. I especially appreciate that your videos move at a fast clip without feeling rushed.
In "The Emerald Tablets of Thoth, the Atlantean", in Tablet 2, titled 'The Halls of Amenti', describes the underground Chambers that were filled with multiple sarcophagi (32 to be exact...see blueprint of Serapeum there are empty chambers) used for the renewing of the bodies of the Children of Light, which were the Masters of life and death. In the text, it clearly describes how these Chambers were placed side by side just like what we see in this video. Later Egyptians place the bones of bulls inside because they had no idea what they were looking at. They thought this was a burial chamber honoring their Bull neter deity Apis- representing Osiris and Resurrection. 'House of Mirrors' (housings of mirror finished granite) reflects light & reverbarates sound frequencies necessary for rejuvenation.
Quite interesting, I've watched a documentary some years back where they placed dulled shaving razors in the Egyptian pyramids for a time and after a while those dull blades regained their sharpness. I wonder if what you mentioned was something similar... Do you have any books about this that you would be willing to recommend?
@@thepurgerman5200 name ??
Are you familiar with the "Khaba/Layer pyramid" or "Baka/Northern pyramid" at Zawyet El Aryan? The Northern site features a "pit" carved nearly 100' into the bedrock (similar to Abu Rawash), and the pavement at the bottom is made up of several layers of 10-50 ton pink granite and quartzite blocks making a perfectly interlocking puzzle fortress of a floor surrounding a large block with a perfect 10' oval "vat" carved into it.
Among many other incredible aspects of Z. El Aryan, the "layer" complex has 32 subterranean chambers! Unfortunately very few have been allowed access to the sight so research and info is limited to essentially one brief excavation by Italian archaeologist (Alessandro Barsanti) in1904. Further lending credence to this site being one of the most fascinating in all of Egypt, the site is fully restricted because the whole area is a "military zone" as of 1964.. oh and whoops they "used the great pit as a dump" and filled it with "trash".
It's almost as if they were tunnelling to find the boxes.
Interesting
And then walling them up
Scarry
Great discussion on the tool marks in the later carvings. I have not seen such a detailed study as this before.
Of all the monuments of Egypt the serapeum attracted my imagination since I was a child. I remember the first pictures I saw showing it full of debris.
Just finished watching all 5 episodes and, let me tell you, you did an excellent job. I thank Jimmy from Bright Inside for talking about these in one of his latest videos. That's how I got here.
While I was watching this last episode I took the time to pause the video when the map of the Serapeum was being shown. This place looks to me like a warehouse with a small production shop on the right, where the boxes were carved (machined). The chambers seem to be bigger, therefore it was easier to work on them. As they were finished, they were taken down to the smaller chambers at the end of the corridor. You can see that chamber #10 is empty. Maybe one of the boxes left in the middle of one of the corridors belongs there. Or, that's where they used to park the forklift when it was not in use... : )
About the boxes, they must have been made to hold something very expensive, precious, or powerfull. Otherwise, there would be no reason why to build such a "strong box". Maybe the theory about the batteries is right. The great Pyramid absorber energy from the sun, or some other type on energy we do not know yet, store it in a device inside the pyramid (like and Arc of ...), then when fully charged, it was transported to the Serapeum to be stored in one of these boxes (only 8.5 miles from the Great Pyramid).
About how to move them?, well there is a reason why the X-34 Landspeeder didn't have wheels, probably the same reason why Ancient Egyptians didn't use the wheel; because between all the advanced technologies they had, levitation was one of them.
Thanks for your awesome videos.
An incredible and thought provoking endeavor. Thank you. I will certianly be returning value for value on this series you created. This content belongs in a junior high social studies class. Loving what you're doing.
Thanks, Ben. The value of The Serapeium cannot be overstated.
The conversation ends when they can't give a realistic answer to how the 50+ ton blocks are to be moved in a tunnel that is only 1 foot wider than the box itself...
...
@@mnomadvfx have you moved many 50 ton blocks then Kenny. The counterweight theory demands that you accept the dynastic Egyptians were precisely cutting and transporting even larger blocks hundreds of miles to then lift these smaller but equally massive blocks down into these supposed tombs using counterweight. It still doesn't make sense and is paradoxical. The ability to simply get these pieces of granite there surpass our modern capabilities. So how did they do it 6000 years ago???
I think they used some kind of sonic devices to levitate the stone using vibration...
@@mnomadvfx Can you explain how they moved these using counter weights? What was the method?
@@mnomadvfx how do you fit an enormous counterweight in such a small area plus the men required to operate it?
I posted a link to your channel on reddit today. r/alternativehistory I predict that people are about to start binge watching your videos. Loved this video, especially the last M10-12 minutes. Fascinating work. My new favorite channel hands down.
Thanks!
Ben's research is top shelf stuff..and Yousaf is very logical and knowledgeable..
Great little series about the Serapeum. Thanks Ben.
I just wanted to let you know that I have been watching your videos for about three weeks now and have thus far found your videos to be without a doubt some of the best pieces of what I call “entertainment research” (research presented in an entertaining manner) that I have seen to date; not simply on this particular subject matter but on any academic based topic. You give your viewers the opportunity to explore the subject matter in a fun yet thorough manner that is underpinned by a seemingly genuine intellectual curiosity that comes across as surprisingly balanced as opposed to being presented in a forced, agenda driven style.
Please keep up the good work and if you happen to read this and want to respond then I would like to know what my options are for helping out by giving back, aside from the obvious monetary donations or signing up for paid subscription services. I would like to be able to contribute in the latter manner(s) at some point in the future but until I am in position to, would nonetheless, like to help any way I can.
👏correct
I have a huge interest in advanced, ancient civilizations. Since watching your videos on the Serapeum I am both fascinated and puzzled by it and the huge stone boxes. In your Chapter 4 video you discussed the polishing of the stone boxes and the appearance that a liquid may have been used in the polishing process. I do some aluminum polishing as a hobby and I use a very fine abrasive liquid on the final polishing which I do lightly by hand. I'm wondering if the "polishing" of the stone boxes might not have been so much a final polishing process that the use of a kind of shiny liquid that fills small imperfections and dries rock hard with a high gloss. Sometimes I will finish a polished item by spraying it with a high gloss clear finish that fills in minor scratches and imperfections leaving a bright, shiny, nearly flawless finish. Maybe the "polished finish" of these stone boxes was accomplished using an unknown, extremely hard, clear and durable liquid and maybe that liquid is what you're seeing the signs of on some of the stone finishes. I'd like to see a small chip of stone that has been polished chemically analyzed to see what chemicals it might contain. Since some of the stone boxes and lids have been damaged while breaking into them, surely there has to be a chip of polished stone laying around that can be take to have analyzed. Maybe the liquid used to polish the stone actually chemically adheres to or becomes one with the stone. What is it with Egyptian authorities that seem to be going out of their way to prevent any kind of new discoveries. What's the room in the pyramid that has recently been discovered by group doing radar (I think) readings? Then there is the room that has been shown with ground penetrating radar under the left foot of the paw of the Sphinx. Egyptian authorities ran off the two investigators with the ground radar as soon as they realized what they were looking for. The room is there under that paw, as the radar clearly showed. Why not open the rest of the passages in the Serapeum? There was a large stairway found near the pyramids running deep into the ground, too what no one knows and Egypt won't let anyone explore it. Then there is the base of an ancient pyramid that was found and had a huge stairway leading down into the ground. The steps were used in a movies about Egypt but no one was allowed to excavate and explore what laid beyond the base of the steps and Egypt quickly used the excavated steps as a garbage dump, filling the grand staircase with garbage and then claiming no one could explore it anyway because it's part of a "military base." While I realize and respect that this country is in Egypt, it seems to me that the ancient history should belong to all mankind. Do you think Egypt will ever allow the world to discover the answers to the mysteries that Egypt holds?
I have watched your videos hour after hour and my head hurts and is aching with wonderment and questions. The more I look at all the precision, the work that had to be involved and the size of the stones and their much use of granite I come away with serious doubt whether the ancient egyptians did all this without some form of machines or advanced tools or even whether they did it at all. The history I learned 55 years ago doesn't begin to tell the whole story of how all these things were built and made. All I know is SOMEBODY DID IT!
I think you miss some things by zoning in on each box. Clearly, they wanted the boxes separated for one reason or other. They could have put them all in one room, but didn't. Perhaps what was in the box was dangerous? Also, that long small corridor could be an exhaust vent of some kind. If there was some kinda of liquid being stored etc. Third, this site may have been used in conjunction with the pyramid. Maybe whatever the pyramid created was stored in these boxes?
finland burys its nuclear waste like this
Good point! In nuclear storage facilities today, we have especially marked places, in order to separate uranium far apart enough. That way we prevent it from reaching criticality and starting of reaction. I'm not saying they had nuclear reactors in the past, but maybe it was something that was dangerous if mixed.
Or maybe they were just sleek advanced-machine made tombs from pre-flood civilization. Either way, it's thrilling.
I also feel inside the box there was something as dangerous as nuclear materials. These boxes might be the key of the whole technology. If I'm not wrong, we find boxes also in the chambers below the pyramids. Would the pyramids create extra insulation for these dangerous materials? Or create some sort of amplification?
@@aeniMatteo Yeah, I'd say Serapeum was used for storage and sites with singular boxes for usage and/or production.
12:45 No nubs, no holes (square or round), no indentations or grooves. No traces. Even the huge stones at Baalbek have square holes in them (that we can speculate were for moving).
Dude your series on the Serapeum is the best so far !!
fantastic !!!
what a joy to find an open unbiased inquisitive outlook on one of the worlds great mystery's
Enjoyed thoroughly. One thought: perhaps the builders from the past were humans from the future.
Awesome series Ben , very enjoyable and informative . Looking at the scale of the pyramids , the serapeum , and construction of that nature in Egypt , and comparing large structures we build today on that sort of scale , take a dam for example , we dont build something that massive unless we're going to get something tangible back from it . It must have a function , a dam , we get water storage and hydro electricity .....2 very tangible and necessary things for a civilization to prosper . It's obvious the Egyptians didnt build any of that , but inherited all of it and repurposed it , I'm convinced the pyramids were a generator of some kind , maybe not electricity as we know it , but some kind of subtle energy we are yet to discover and understand (and hopefully use ourselves one day ?) they look more like machines than buildings to me..............
This is the best video content relating to the granite casks and explains all the questions I had.
Seeing a cask left in the passage was a game changer. Starting to think they flooded the passages and floated them in with pig skin bladders full of air.
Great video - loved visiting this place and seeing your video afterwards
I can't help but wonder if the individuals who created the stuff was wiped out by a catastrophic event and then found later by surviving individuals who had no recall of the individuals who created it.
Have the giant granite box been radioactively tested? When I ask myself what would you need a giant granite box for. The answer I came up is radioactive shielding for some sort of radioactive reactor. If you stuff the box with enough plutonium it could become a heat generator. The heat output can be controlled by the density of plutonium inside the box. If you flood the entire site you have a gigantic steam generator.
I asked Yousef the same question, it's in my raw footage somewhere. He doesn't know, neither could I find any record of it. If I ever get my hands on one it would be an interesting experiment. I'm not sure what the boxes function really was.
@@UnchartedX ...if they had Ammonia in there, you could make a heat exchanger. There was plenty of Ammonia mined in ancient Egypt. The Temple of Amun, Ammun, Ammonia is close to the Siwa Oasis. Probably where, Alexander the Great, is buried
@Harry Wolf ....The volume of the void is the exact size as the volume of the solid. Like it was 'Press forged' The pressure and heat generated would probably fuse the geopolymer together. So I think you would need a void, twice the size. Fill half the void with the geopolymer slurry. Press down with the other half of the volume. And it should form the floor and walls in one go. Or its magick!!!!!
@Harry Wolf ....thanks Harry.
Ok but you do realize that you need a nuclear reactor to make the Plutonium? Right?
Really make me rethink what I know about the ancient egyptians. I didnt realize the detail of the writings on top of the statues. Now see it up close change lots of mi perspective. Thanks for this amazing series. Im suscribed for now and will be following the updates. Great work¡¡
Best thing i've watched in months ... Excellent work ..
I will always remember Chris Dunns' qoute. He asked a handful of the world's top stone mason factories "how much $$ & how long to manufacture an identical box with the same tolerance dimension including the interior... oh and have it deliverd. The reply from them "No". One company said they could do it but only in 6 sections and pieced together on site.
We can speculate all day on what the contents were... whatever it was, wasn't natural.
I love this quote, I talk about it all the time :)
How hard would it be to sneak a miniature camera-carrying quadcopter drone into some of those extensions and unexplored passages? Sure, you'd have to pay the site overseer to look the other way for a bit...
Congrats, I find your assessments superbly presented, as are your brilliant inquiries.
Sent you £15.00, thank you Ben for all the content and in depth explanations. One of my favourite channels !
The scoop marks are the smoking gun that these rocks were in a pliable state when they were scooped. My hypothesis is as we all talk about resonance in the rocks, that they used the resonant vibrations to soften the rock. The technic is very much the same as a microwave that agitates water molecules so that they rub on each other at high speeds to create heat. The pre dynastic used the resonant vibrations to agitate the fine metals we know exist in this rocks to soften the material making it much easier to work and move. Keep up the great work
This is an absolutely brilliant series on the Serapeum. Ben, this final episode with your analysis and conclusions was so well written and communicated. I truly hope that a new generation of archeologists, scientists, engineers and academia will have the courage to see that the timeline of history as it has been taught for hundreds of years needs to be revisited and reassessed. What seems quite obvious to me now, and to a growing community of truth seekers, is that the megalithic works that have survived are from a period much older than we have ever considered. And what we once assumed as historical fact regarding our ancestry and civilization is in fact completely misguided and erroneous. One day soon, may the light of knowledge shine upon those that cling to false beliefs based on politics, religion, or sheer laziness. Yes, it will take courage to re-write the history books, but in my opinion we are doing humanity the greatest of injustices by clinging to our ignorance and refusing to commit to pure scientific pursuit in the wake of such overwhelming evidence.
Amazing videos UnchartedX and amazingly well articulated. Thumbs up for now!! :)
So glad I found this channel. Fantastic work thank you!
What I'm wondering is how did they do all that without lights? I imagine if you use torches breathing will become harder due to smoke and lack of oxygen?
I almost mentioned this aspect in my videos. The lighting is a real mystery, as there is a very distinct lack of soot or exhaust from flames - like you see on many other sites that used candles etc for lighting. It's unknown how they provided light down there. We did talk about it with Yousef but that bit of footage didn't make it into the videos in the end.
'they' may not have needed light nor air.
Well done, great work! You mentioned that when the serapeum was discovered the boxes were sealed behind walls. Is there any pictures or footage of these walls before they were knocked down? It's interesting that they were sealed up.
I have watched videos of Serapeum from other RUclipsrs but none of them mentioned this fact.
Pictures from the 1800's ... doubtful mate. Not sure when Marriette excavated this, but would guess was between mid to late 1800's.

I am surprised you did not recognize Lingams in those boxes. I assume of course, on account of your name , that you are from India.
It must of been dark, was there black soot on the walls from years of candles?
They do appear briefly in that old drawing. They seemed to be made of simple mortared brick, like the renovations of the dynastic egyptians so i am guessing that they did their own cover up stories at the time or at least sealed up the parts they were not using for rituals. They must have thought they were the tombs of giants, the silly bastards. Never it would have crossed their minds it could be an industrial storage facility. I mean they had no concept of industry, at least not how we see it. Perspective - it is a funny thing.
