So, the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, in Egypt, this is the north side of it.
We're going to go underground, at least six levels underground.
We have two hours of private access, at a cost of 4,000 U.S. dollars.
I'm coming, but it's well worth it.
Hopefully, the phone will stabilize itself.
Are you locking the door? Yeah. Okay, good.
So, we are now locked inside the interior of the Step Pyramid.
So, we'll see how deep we can go inside of this.
I know it goes down many, many stories.
It's possible it's a lot deeper.
And what they allow you to see, that's true in a lot of cases.
Like when you go to Turkey, go to Derinkuyu, which is the underground city.
They allow you down about 10 stories, but it's quite possible it goes down much, much deeper than that.
So, is it left, or is it right?
I hear voices. Hopefully, they're human.
This way?
Cut.
One moment.
A giant box.
So, we're still traveling under the Step Pyramid of Saqqara.
At some point, we're going to reach a whole new level.
This is a hallway that has some of the hard stone vessels that are on display in museums
that had to have been made utilizing high technology.
Here it is.
Your finger, in the middle.
In the middle, exactly.
In the middle.
So, they found more than 40,000 of these.
Look at that. Touch it.
In this area.
Some intact.
Mainly broken.
Yes, there it is.
A pottery graveyard.
As we've just discussed, these were not done by hand.
It's physically impossible.
This had to have been done using very advanced technology.
Look at that.
So, what is this material?
It looks like alabaster, but I don't know.
No, I don't think so.
It is onyx.
Onyx?
Very close to onyx, yeah.
It does look like onyx.
They're one of the materials for onyx.
Wow.
Marbles.
The most beautiful piece, actually.
Because of how soft it is.
