Their is no proof they put bulls in the sarcophagi - that’s an archeologist assumption. The sarcophagi are all empty.

Misconception; they did not actually worship the animals themselves, but the concepts they embodied as part of the whole, the one creator force. To the Egyptians - life was lived symbolically, not logically as we do today.

Could be, but every pharaoh’s tomb was looted, except for Tut’s, which had been broken into but not cleared out, so it’s possible that the sarcophagi of the Apis Bulls could have been looted in antiquity as well.

one or two as I recall where intact, but empty. Still, it’s all supposition that they were bull tombs - no one knows.
