The Serapeum of Saqqara is a serapeum located north west of the Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, near Memphis in Lower Egypt. It was a burial place of Apis bulls, Sacred Bulls that were incarnations of the Ancient Egyptian deity Ptah. It was believed that the Bulls became Immortal..
It was believed that the Bulls became Immortal after Death as 'Osiris Apis', ⲟⲩⲥⲉⲣϩⲁⲡⲓ: USER+HAPI (Coptic) or Σέραπις, OR SerAPIS (Greek). In the city of Eridu, Enki's Temple was known as E2-Abzu (House of the Deep Waters) & was located at the edge of a swamp, an Abzu.
'Egypt, which you commended to me, my dearest Servianus, I have found to be wholly fickle and inconsistent, and continually wafted about by every breath of fame. The worshipers of Serapis Christus are called Christians, Bishops of Christ.'
Emperor Hadrian to Servianus, 134A.D.
Serapis was a Composite Diety of Greek/ Egyptian Origin of Osiris & the Apis Bull with Aspects of Zeus, Dionysus, ETC.
SerAPIS/ SARA+PHIs/ Osiris-Apis (Composite: UserHapi/ Asar-Hapi)/Osiris-Isis/ Zeus-Isis/ Zues-Hera/ Hera = Juno
Cerebus (Three-Headed Dog of SerAPIS) = ANU+BIS
The Cult of SeraPIs was promoted by Ptolemy (The Savior) I Sotar as a way of fostering Harmony between Egyptians & Greeks. Serapis personified Divine Majesty & represented the 🌞, fertility, healing, & the afterlife. His consort was Isis, the most popular goddess during that Era.
SARA+PIs Christus combined Osiris & the Apis Bull (Hapis/ Hapi-Ankh/ Sacred 🐂 of Memphis) with Aspects of the Greek gods Zeus Ammon/ Amun RA (King of the gods), Dionysus (Bacchus/ god of Wine), Helios (🌞 god), Hades (god of the Underworld) & Asklepios (Physician of the gods).
"What are all your sacrifices to Me?”asks the Lord.“I have had enough of burnt offerings and rams & the fat of well-fed cattle; I have no desire for the blood of bulls, lambs, or male goats."
Isaiah 1:11
Ever wonder why so MANY BULLS (Rams & Lambs) were Sacrificed in the Bible?
