Ägypten - Das Grab der heiligen Stiere
On the mythical site of Saqqara, the Apis bulls were buried for more than a thousand years in the immense underground necropolis of the Serapheum.

The collapse of the ceiling of one of the galleries had however prevented the archaeologist from venturing into the entire necropolis.
