Mastaba
Tee - a senior official \ / dynasty, which has the title of keeper of
the pyramids and Niusera Neferirkara. Here I was able to photograph a
little bas-reliefs inside the tombs. It is always accompanied by guards
extort money, they then of course entirely dismissed - a couple of
dollars you will not manage, Islamic monuments to shoot a lot easier.
Reliefs from another mastaba dignitary \ / Dynasty - Ptahhotepa.
Mastaba Mereruka was also very sensitive sites, why almost all
protection Saqqara is concentrated here. Photographing prohibited not
only inside but also outside. Egyptians valiantly guarded complex of
Pharaoh Teti, and all the mastaba to the north. I wanted to go around
them in an arc, but could not see the fate - paranoia guards reached the
maximum limits, was explained to me that the whole desert to the north
is not available. I wonder how they intend to implement in practice?
Inside
the pyramid of Teti I was waiting for another failure, even more
terrible than the "gallant service" Egyptian guards. Going down the long
corridor to the burial chamber, I found out that it was fully packed
with the Chinese, whom they brought in a huge bus. Coupled with bad
weather it was shaped mockery.
Mastaba south of the Djoser complex
Another mine - Sakkara, probably like Dutch cheese. So many holes are
different in the sand, but what's going on under the ground God knows
...
Initially
I had a great desire to get inside the Serapeum, where are buried the
sacred bull Apis. I wanted to gawk at the huge sarcophagi. I knew that
inside the complex of tourists are not allowed, hoping for a banal bribe
guards and poor weather conditions, it was easier to hide this "crime"
was superintendent at the height - the amount of input during the
bidding has passed for $ 50, he began to change in the face, but held -
saying that he had a family, children, and it kicked out from work. In
the end I gave up, thought that the devil with them atm - they are not worth of such "huge" money. In short, say our anger NO corruption on the ground!
Maybe he just did not have keys to the entrance of the necropolis.
Serapeum recent years, is exposed to various reconstruction and
restoration and is considered terribly "sensitive" subject.
On
the other hand, the above mentioned ufologists "Sklyarov and his
comrades" were able to get inside ... and it turns out that their
"vision" Serapeum almost unique in the network ... laid out below the
photos are very "murky" background, to find the original source I could
not. Most of the photos of the Bulgarian blog ...
Serapeum at Saqqara itself is very mysterious place, first of all it is not clear at all, and here atm Egyptian and Hellenistic god Serapis? May be a link that Serapis, as manifestations of the Greek Zeus, could be associated with the bull? According to Greek mythology, Zeus is in the form of a bull stolen wretched Europe ....
