Talk:Serapeum

message: While we're at it, we need to get a non-POV article for this topic as well.  The current article seems to be entirely one-sided in favor of the Christian forces of the time.
Can we site sources other than the one in the body discussing the destruction of the Serapeum.  The only historical description seems to be from Eunapius, there must have been more than one historian who wrote about this. L Hamm 17:12, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: The Serapeum at Saqqara

message: In the sections Egyptian Serapea, Alexandria, there is a statement: "Subterranean galleries beneath the temple were most probably the site of the mysteries of Serapis." What does this mean? I think the article needs to be less vague about this, and perhaps the subject deserves an article all its own. I've tried web searches and looking across various Wikipedia related articles, and I'm completely in the dark. A.) Has anyone ever explored/excavated these underground passages? B.) Are these underground passages able to be viewed by the public? C.) What are the "mysteries of Serapis"? Are they supposed articles of religious significance that were believed to be hidden in the passages under the temple? Were they some sort of ceremonies performed under the temple?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.74.28.114 (talk) 07:11, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Mysteries of Serapis

message: I saw on a documentary about ancient machinery and chemistry used in temples that either the Serapeum of Alexandrea or another temple used magnetic levitation to move a chariot across the main room. This is, of course, based on accounts from visitors that were recorded, and it seems unlikely, but the imagery fit his symbolism as a god of the sun, and Apollo was mostly shown as riding a chariot to carry the sun through the sky if I remember correctly. I can't remember the name of the documentary or the channel, but if anyone else knows about it, this information should be put in here somewhere. 68.202.82.33 (talk) 12:19, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
