Some remarkable new evidence for micron-level precision in ancient stonework has been unearthed by a recently released documentary called ‘Builders of the Ancient Mysteries.’ or ‘BAM’ for short.
Scientific examination conducted by the team using modern technology at some of the most famous ancient sites, like Puma Punku, the Serapeum of Saqqara, and the Barbara caves of India has moved the entire discussion around ancient precision and technology forward.
In this video I get into some of these findings, give my review of the documentary, and share some extended highlights from my interview with its director, Patrice Pouillard, the same man behind the well known film ‘Revelation of the Pyramids.’

Could the serepeum, have been the lost halls of records? It’s not between the paws of the sphinks ,but between the rows of the sphinks!. The stele in the out coves was a list of contents of the boxes. They are off set so the lids could be winched open, from the adjacent wall, are the lids level with original floor, would they slide onto the floor? That’s why they’re below floor level. Did the guild of masons take the contents? Then swear an oath on pain of death to keep it secret? Just a thought! Keep up the great work.
The boxes of the Serapeum whatever they are, are in the same timescale as fossils. The depth under ground would if examined closely by an unbiased geologist would give an age possibly into the Palaeolithic. The jugs and urns from Saqqara are probably the same age and may have been discovered by the ancient Egyptians when they tunneled out the so-called Serapeum.
Hello again Ben and thanks for such fascinating videos.
A question about the most massive stone walls, particularly in Peru:
Do you know if those stones have ever been dated via thermoluminescence?
Someone should examine the layers of earth from present ground level at the Serapeum to the level the boxes stand on. That may give a clue to the age of the boxes. I believe the ancient Egyptians discovered and unearthed the boxes in situ. . Probably the so-called Serapeum is actually the result of mining by the Egyptians. The urns and jugs of Saqqara are from the same timescale as the boxes and were possibly discovered by the Egyptians when they tunneled out the Serapeum and just used them as canonic jars for burials.
I was just listening to some stories from Celtic mythology and came across the Fir Bolg, possible giants who carved out the world with their bags and scooped montains, stone and earth to make the land farmable. An interesting connection between bags, scoops, giant earthworks etc to all of the sites mentioned here especially the mysterious bags that are depicted in ancient art all over the world.
I am also currently playing with the idea that the boxes of the Serapeum and the megaliths at Gobekli Tepe may be the origin of the “ark” stories, possibly seeds and books stored at the Serapeum and depictions of animals at Gobekli Tepe, both buried in preparation for a cataclysmic mass extinction event maybe?
How did you make the jump from finding a cog in the ocean to a complicated planetary apparatus? Did I miss something?
Love the doc!!!
Ben,
If you haven’t read “Judgement of the Nephilium ” by Ryan Pitterson I highly recommend his book. I believe it will open your thinking about the posiblities of who were the pre catastrophic inhabitants of earth.
Thanks Paul,
I’ll add it to my (long, at this point) reading list!
I was very interested in the information presented but couldn’t bear the sound of the narrator’s voice. It was too fast and there were many words mispronounced. Perhaps this programme could be re dubbed with a native English speaker ?
That’s too bad – but I suspect his english is far better than your french. English isn’t Patrice’s first language, and not everyone who researches this topic comes from an english speaking country. Perhaps try listening to it at 1.5 or 2x speed. The video won’t be dubbed over.
I agree. It was hard to watch because of that.
Ben,you might be interested to look in on SGD on this ‘ non topic’ in his view -ie nothing to explain etc all too easy…. I wasted a bit of time over the past few weeks to try to use a little simple calculation to show the absurdity of his contention that even the most astounding examples of masterful stonework are just done with flints and sand grinding . The hollowing of the serapeum boxes using the demonstrated cutting rate of ‘scientists against myths’ gives an easily determined man hours total to just open the rough cavity in the hundreds of thousands (9 hrs to cut 23 mm @ 165 mm diameter tube drill using corundum ) Only grade school arithmetic required to refute his ridiculously optimistic figures. Anyway just to bring it to your attention . regards
I’m not surprised to hear it. I’m not remotely interested in engaging with those dishonest, disrespectful charlatans in any shape or form.
