Exploring the Mysterious Underground World of Saqqara

Our exploration of the ruins of Saqqara continues with some of the best tombs to see, including amazing art and hieroglpyhs on the walls. We end up at one of the most amazing and mysterious sites of Egypt: the Serapeum. Where did its huge stone boxes come from, what were they used for, and how were they made?

Thank you for watching this episode of the #antiquitiestravelguide. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Special thanks to Anyextee and Ancient Presence for supplying us with extra visual material of the Ahmose sarcophagus in the Serapeum.
