Giant granite parallelepipeds, weighing several tons, moved inside tunnels so narrow that they do not allow wheels to be inserted under them, do not allow winches to be used to lift them, do not allow them to be turned in any way. Underneath the parallelepipeds there is no sign that sleds, wheels, grease, or anything like that were used.

Yet a dozen of these objects were lowered underground, moved in those very narrow tunnels, and lowered into side crypts several meters deep. Even the idea that they first built the parallelepipeds and then constructed the building fell apart, since the whole structure was dug underground, like a giant anthill.

And although it’s pitch black down there, nowhere is there a trace of the smoke from the flashlights, and it’s not possible to make light reach inside with a play of mirrors. There is a historical “yellow” as well. The very few hieroglyphs engraved on a few parallelepipeds are both inaccurate and wrong! Conversely, the interior of the parallelepipeds is constructed with a margin of error of less than a millimeter. As if someone, who knows when, made a clumsy attempt to make this stuff look “Egyptian” and then gave it up. The difference between the “amateurs” who carved those few sketches of hieroglyphs and the engineering perfection of everything else, leaps to the eye.

The Saqqara Serapeum hits us like a punch in the stomach, because there is no plausible explanation, not even one, as to how they managed to build it. Those objects are one of the great evidences that, before the Egyptians we know, there was a civilization in those places that knew its stuff about how to work huge slabs of granite with pinpoint accuracy, and how to move huge loads in conditions bordering on the impossible. Who were these amazing engineers of the past?
