The Serapeum is New Kingdom in date, rather than middle kdm. It would still be remarkable if the big boxes had been installed via the pit and sand method used for various tombs -- a pit was excavated, filled with sand, then the sarcophagus pushed out onto the sand, and the sand removed by hand (labor, ropes, ladders) allowing the sarco to settle to the bottom. At that point the sarcophagus was moved into the burial chamber, awaiting the guy or girl to die. If the Serapeum boxes had been dropped in from above in that manner, and then the chambers built over them, it would still be impressive, but it's much more impressive this way.

What Graham Hancock Really Thinks About the Advanced Civilizations of Prehistory | ZEG TV Hidden from the Public | Published on October 5, 2018

Graham Hancock goes around the world explaining his theory of a lost civilization. Looking at Baalbeck's huge stone blocks, Egypt's Giza Pyramids Turkey's Goblekli Tepe, Japans Yonaguni underwater structures and a whole host of other historical sites. After viewing and researching these sites along with other geological evidence he has come to the conclusion the a comet struck Earth 12000 years ago and caused a global reset of an advanced civilization. Was this civilization the famous Atlanteans?

There have been, and will be again, many destructions of mankind arising out of many causes; the greatest have been brought about by the agencies of fire and water, and other lesser ones by innumerable other causes. There is a story, which even you have preserved, that once upon a time P[h]aethon, the son of Helios, having yoked the steeds in his father's chariot, because he was not able to drive them in the path of his father, burnt up all that was upon the earth, and was himself destroyed by a thunderbolt. Now this has the form of a myth, but really signifies a declination of the bodies moving in the heavens around the earth, and a great conflagration of things upon the earth, which recurs after long intervals; at such times those who live upon the mountains and in dry and lofty places are more liable to destruction than those who dwell by rivers or on the seashore.
