Sir Wearer of Hats Posted July 28, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I took one for the team and started reading the article - the caskets in the Serpbeum were used via the fermentation of dead bull to produce electricity because of quartz. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmt_sesh Posted July 29, 2018 #20 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Well, kborissov, you've done it again. You've bypassed Egyptological research in favor of absolutely wild speculation and assumption. Aside from the obvious mistake that there exists no infrastructure at all for electrical production or storage or usage in dynastic Egypt, you're ignoring the mountains of evidence we have for the Serapeum, what it meant to the Egyptians, and how it was used. To be certain, no legitimate Egyptologist or historian has any doubt that it was used for the interment of Apis bulls. You're ignoring the plethora of textual material from both Egyptians and Greek about the Apis cult and where the bulls were buried. You're ignoring the many, many stela venerating the Apis bulls and their cult (example and example; note that the second example depicts an Apis reclining on one of the sarcophagi). Look into and study the reverence the great crown prince Khaemwaset paid to the Apis cult and Serapeum in Dynasty 19. Search out the many statues made for the Apis cult, and don't forget the enormous canopic jars placed in the Serapeum for the storage of the bulls' internal organs (example). There are texts about this cult and its place stretching into the Ptolemaic Period, including details on how and when each succeeding Apis should be chosen. So to summarize...debunked. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
