Saqqara (Arabic: سقارة, Egyptian Arabic pronunciation: [sɑʔˈʔɑːɾɑ]), also spelled Sakkara or Saccara in English /səˈkɑːrə/, is a vast, ancient burial ground in Egypt, serving as the necropolis for the Ancient Egyptian capital, Memphis. Saqqara features numerous pyramids, including the world famous Step pyramid of Djoser, sometimes referred to as the Step Tomb due to its rectangular base, as well as a number of mastabas (Arabic word meaning 'bench'). Located some 30 km (19 mi) south of modern-day Cairo, Saqqara covers an area of around 7 by 1.5 km (4.35 by 0.93 mi).
At Saqqara, the oldest complete stone building complex known in history was built: Djoser's step pyramid, built during the Third Dynasty. Another 16 Egyptian kings built pyramids at Saqqara, which are now in various states of preservation or dilapidation. High officials added private funeral monuments to this necropolis during the entire pharaonic period. It remained an important complex for non-royal burials and cult ceremonies for more than 3,000 years, well into Ptolemaic and Roman times.
A step pyramid or stepped pyramid is an architectural structure that uses flat platforms, or steps, receding from the ground up, to achieve a completed shape similar to a geometric pyramid. Step pyramids are structures which characterized several cultures throughout history, in several locations throughout the world. These pyramids typically are large and made of several layers of stone. The term refers to pyramids of similar design that emerged separately from one another, as there are no firmly established connections between the different civilizations that built them.
John Anthony West (born 1932 in New York) is an American author, lecturer, guide and a proponent of Sphinx water erosion hypothesis in geology.
Influenced by R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz, in 1993 his work with Robert M. Schoch, a geologist and associate professor of natural science at the College of General Studies at Boston University was presented by Charlton Heston in a NBC special called “The Mystery of the Sphinx” that won West a News & Documentary Emmy Award for Best Research and a nomination for Best Documentary. The documentary contends that the main type of weathering evident on the Great Sphinx and surrounding enclosure walls could only have been caused by prolonged and extensive rainfall during the time period from 10,000 to 5000 BCE and was carved out of limestone bedrock by an ancient advanced culture (such as the Heavy Neolithic Qaraoun culture). This challenged the conventional dating of the carving of the statue circa 2500 BCE. West suggested that the Sphinx may be over twice as old as originally determined, whereas Schoch made a more conservative determination of between 5000 and 7000 BCE.

The Serapium: The Serapeum is the term most often used to refer to the burial place of the sacred Apis bulls at Saqqara. It consisted of a huge underground complex to the north-west of the Step Pyramid of Djoser where the bulls were buried in enormous granite sarcophagi between the 18th Dynasty and Ptolemaic times. The sacred bulls were buried in a single block of granite that weighed between sixty and eighty tons. All twenty-four sarcophagi had been plundered. Their lids had been praised loose and the contents taken. Further excavation revealed an older gallery and then another one further on. The way into the first of the galleries was blocked by a huge rock which was blown apart with explosives. Beneath where the rock had been, was found a mummy of a man. This was the mummy of a son o...
This is the Step Pyramid Complex in Saqqara in Egypt. It was designed by Imhotep in the third dynasty of Egypt for King Netjeriket (Pharaoh Zozer). It is also known as the Djoser Pyramid or the first pyramid. It is composed of solid Limestone Blocks and as a result, it is in better condition than the 12th dynasty pyramids that were made largely of unfired mudbricks with only a limestone veneer. The buildings are the first know structures to utilize columns in their architecture. The pyramid is part of a complex which contains several interconnected man made pits in the ground, an open courtyard and a number of buildings which were part of a continuous wall that surrounded the compound. The entrance to the complex is through the main buildings. These square and rectangular pits in the g...
Travel video about destination Mempish & Sakkara in Egypt. Around 2900 B.C., when Upper and Lower Egypt became one Great Empire, the Pharaohs declared Memphis, which lies in the southern Nile Delta, as their capital city.During its golden years in the second millennium B.C., Memphis extended 15 km, from Gizeh to Sakkara. Up until the time of the Roman Empire, this ancient city’s former buildings had been constructed from air-dried bricks and therefore, due to this process, sadly did not survive the years. Granite and limestone were used solely for its Temples, Palaces And Statues. The frightening and dismissive gesture of the Sphinx was meant to frighten away grave robbers and guard the Necropolis, the place of the dead. Its lion’s body and human head symbolize courage and mental prowess....

Egypt is the land of pharaos, pyramids, mummies and other archeological riddles. The Giza pyramid is the last remaining ancient Wonder of the World, that still stirs up people's imagination. Hatshepsut's temple built into a cliff, the Saqqara burial grounds, The Valley of the Kings, the monumental forest of pillars of the Karnak temple, the monuments of Theba, Memphis and Luxor enchant the visitors. The past and the present meet in the capital of the country, Cairo. The museums, mosques, parks of the huge metropolis offer many sights, as well as the bazaars, where we can admire the mastery of the craftsmen from close range. We can travel all the biblical sceneriess of the Sinai Peninsula, and as a rest, we can have a boat voyage along the world's longest river - the Nile, take a holiday in...

The full movie of my trip to the mysterious location known as the Serapeum. The mysterious stone boxes here are amazing to see and touch. Each weighs somewhere between 75-100 tons depending. How were they moved? How were they cut? What were they used for? The traditional story doesn't seem to hold water once you scrutinize that these boxes were used for burials of symbolic bulls.
The Step Pyramid of Saqqara, in the desert south of Cairo, is a keystone in the history of civilization. But it is falling apart, ravaged by looters, earthquakes and the erosive force of 4600 years of time. For five years, a team of British and Egyptian experts have been urgently at work to rescue this prototype for all the Egyptian pyramids.......
La Pirámide de Saqqara es realmente un enigma. En la superficie una compleja escenografía oculta la función de sus cámaras subterráneas para producir estados especiales de percepción que impulsan los viajes astrales y la evolución de la consciencia. La utilización de campos electromagnéticos controlados por la mente de los sacerdotes más elevados nos habla del avanzado nivel de la Escuela de Misterios de ¨El Ojo de Horus¨ en esos tiempos.
Pharaoh Djoser has ascended the throne and his Royal Vizier, Imhotep, has conceived a brand new tomb to house the Pharaoh and it will be build at Saqqara. The mission is not difficult because the Stepped Pyramind you are required to build only requires Plain Stone which can be quarried locally. You'll need to raise quite a bit of cash to import the commodities you will need to build your city so the first priority would be to build Gold Mines up at the top of the map. Be careful: the mission has a scripted event that destroys a random Gold Mine each year. It can get very annoying having to keep replacing Gold Mines but it's a good source of income! You can also import clay, barley, reeds, flax and gems to export pottery, beer, papyrus, linen and luxury goods which will net a tidy profit. ...
"What is it that you want?" I get that a lot in my
travels.
I look up at the sky, and the answer is, "Only my
heart."
The really important words aren't so easy to say.
The place that the light points to, I run towards it.
If it's really something you want so much that it makes
you cry inside.
Just keep at it and for sure you'll take it someday.
The white clouds float by, heading towards the horizon.
Because the future that's set for us is always close to
I may have cleared the first step, but that's not the
end of it.
There'll be endless more starting today, maybe even
some meet with tears.
If you get tired after working your hardest, you can do
something besides work hard.
The seemingly empty, sleepy night, will come to life.
If you really want to get there, giving up sometimes is
fine.
Even the tears that are welling up, you'll shake it
someday.
Because there are things we'll never give up, we can be
steadfast. Thank you my dream.
Somewhere along the infinity of time, we'll find
happiness.
If it's really something you want, so much that it
makes you cry inside.
Just keep at it and for sure you'll take it someday.
The white clouds float by, heading towards the horizon.
Because the future that's set for us is always close to
