These 70 ton precision carved granite boxes are found deep underground inside the chambers of The Serapeum in Saqqara, Egypt. The craftsmanship is at a scale copper tools could not achieve and the scale is of a size the people could not lift. History is a shattered puzzle.

I was there 2 weeks ago and got lucky that there weren't any people around. So I jumped in this sarcophagus. Crazy I could almost stand upright inside and how smooth and flat everything is.

We are looking at something that was once alive with meaning, function, power, yet now it is just cold stone, dead architecture whose language we never learned.

Find me an archaeologist who can carve granite with a copper chisel and I'll give some thought to their theories but until then they can all fuck off because they are fucking lying about the past!!!

That same granite box has some depresions on the back, that are unexplainable, because the hieroglyphs are not bent on the depression. Also the quality of the markings is subpar with the precision of the stone box. So the markings were made by "others", not original.

Why do people keep talking about copper tools? The Ancient Egyptians were a STONE AGE culture. They had no need for inferior metals to make their tools. They had flint, the hardest stone on the Mohs scale, and they had machinery, lathes and drills which modern archaeologists call SPINDLE WHORLS which is disingenuous given what we know about Ancient China's jade carving tools.

That's not from Enoch, it's from the actual bible. Bible (Genesis 6:4 — KJV) “There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that…”

People do not understand how enormous 70 tons are, for the same reason they do not understand how much money $1 trillion (or $1 billion) dollars is.

Why is it archaeologists UNABLE to say: We don't know how or for what purpose ancient artefacts/structures like the Serapeum, Hypogeum etc were created And leave room for plausible theories including ancient (lost) technologies? They are no longer true scientists FFS.

I'm curious who originally opened it and where the contents ended up. The lid itself has to be multi-ton and it's not like a couple of thieves with sticks easily slid it open. Is there even enough room in the hallway to squeeze several dozen men with beefy ropes, while guys with metal rods tried to get leverage to pry?

These weren't placed there by humans from Earth; this is the work of humans who had technology that hadn't yet reached the planet to place these boxes weighing tons. There's a lot hidden beneath the sand that will eventually come to the surface.

Carved or cast? Casting would explain how they got down there.

That looks like what copper tools could do. Its definitely craftsmanship, but the lines arent even perfectly straight s

Perhaps those granite pieces were added a couple thousand years later when they had different tools?

@grok This looks like precision cut granite plate similar to what a check surface would be in an aerospace facility how is this possible to do this in ancient times

Granite boxes late in Egyptian history - iron tools likely used. Remains of rollers, rails, winches found. Chambers below corridors - they moved boxes into position (no lifting), removed sand to lower them into place. 100's of stela detailing Apis Bull burials found in situ.
