Made of solid Aswan gold and weighing more than 100 tons, with precision engineering that rivals modern tolerance levels, the 24 strange and arcane coffin-shaped black boxes found buried in a hillside case system 12 miles south of the Great Pyramid of Giza continues to generate speculations as to how the ancient Egyptians built them and why.

The Egyptians ruled the world for approximately 3,000 years. When their legacy came to an end, they left in their trails a wealth of countless art, architecture, and cultural mythology that continues to fascinate the word to date.

Ancient Egypt also left in its wake a humongous amount of mysteries that still puzzles even the smartest scholars to date. From the Grand Pyramids of Giza to the mysterious hieroglyphics, the legacy of their mythology lives on

Researchers are puzzled about the purpose of the boxes. Why were they built? Why are they hidden there? What were the aliens, who are believed to have built them, thinking of using them for?

Known as the Serapeum of Saqqara and located in the now-abandoned city of Memphis, Egypt, The skillfulness and dexterity of the stone-cutting, accurate to just a few microns is so ingeniously made that some experts have come up with the conclusion that they, in fact, were not built by the ancient Egyptians, but left behind by extraterrestrial beings and later claimed by the pharaohs.

On the body of the black boxes are some hieroglyphics, although of very poor quality that the scribbles are considered as graffiti.

While the purpose of the boxes are still uncertain, they were clearly of high importance, as they were cut with such high precision that they remained hermetically sealed after several millennia.

In Egyptian mythology, a serapeum is a religious building in dedication to the syncretic Greco-Egyptian god Serapis. Serapis was widely recognized across the entire Mediterranean region and can be found in both Greek and Gnosyic religions – usually symbolized in the form of a man with a three-headed dog on a chain.

It is believed the formal burial site was built around 3300 years ago by Pharaoh Ramesses 11. According to recent research outcomes, it was a burial place of Apis bulls worshipped as the reincarnation of the god Ptah.

Egyptologists are of the opinion that the because the bull was revered as gods, Khaemweset, son of Ramesses 11 instructed that a deep tunnel be dug through one of the mountains at the site and installed with side chambers to be filled with large sarcophagi weighing around 100 tons each, meant to hold the mummified remains of the bulls.

According to ancient history, it was Auguste Marriete who discovered the temple, when he went to Egypt to collect Coptic manuscripts, but was later to develop in interest in the remains of the Saqqara necropolis.

In the year 1850, Marriete discovered the head of one sphinx protruding out of the shifting dunes of the desert sands. He cleared the sand and followed the boulevard to the site of the temple.

After employing explosives, mostly likely C4, to clear rock debris blocking the entrance to the tomb, his dug and excavated most of the complex.
