The giant coffins in Saqqara — the work of the Egyptians or the technology of an unknown civilization?

A shocking find in the Saqqara necropolis, Egypt, is generating much debate in the archaeological community. In one of the excavation areas of this famous necropolis, scientists have discovered enormous granite coffins, sculpted with astonishing precision, raising questions about the technology and purpose behind them.

These coffins, often called “Flying Coffins” due to their strangeness and extraordinary size, were first discovered in 1850 by archaeologist Auguste Mariette. However, recent research using 3D laser scanning technology and microscopic analysis has revealed unprecedented information about them.

These coffins are carved from solid blocks of black granite, each weighing up to 80 tons, with freestanding lids weighing around 30 tons. The average dimensions of each coffin are 3.7mx 2.3mx 1.8m, exceeding any known human standard. The highlight is that the inner and outer surfaces of the coffins are polished with almost perfect precision, with a deviation of only 0.01mm.

Many theories have arisen about how the ancient Egyptians were able to cut and polish a material as hard as granite, considering that the copper tools of the time were insufficient for such a task. Some experts believe that these coffins were created with an unknown technology that exceeds the capabilities of the ancient Egyptian civilization.

Although they are called “coffins,” there is no clear evidence that they were used for burials. Archaeologists found no skeletal remains inside these coffins, apart from a thin layer of dust of unknown origin. This has led to theories suggesting that they could have been used for rituals, energy storage, or even related to advanced technology.

Some researchers hypothesize that the coffins could have been designed to protect or contain some type of mysterious substance. The strange inscriptions on the surface of the stone, considered symbols yet to be deciphered, suggest a complex spiritual or scientific meaning.

Some scholars, including theorists of extraterrestrial intervention, do not hesitate to question whether these coffins are the product of a civilization outside of Earth. They point out that the level of precision and the ability to transport these giant blocks surpasses the technology of the time.

On the other hand, more conservative scientists suggest that the ancient Egyptians could have used a system of levers, pulleys and techniques not yet documented. However, so far, there is no convincing evidence to explain how they were manufactured and assembled in Saqqara.

This discovery has opened an exciting debate about the capabilities and technical development of the ancient Egyptians. Could it be that we are ignoring a crucial part of human history? Or is this proof of the existence of a more advanced civilization that helped shape ancient Egypt? Each question opens a new door to secrets yet to be revealed.
