Saqqarah

Then a great Italian traveller, Giovanni Gemelli Careri, seems to have seen or at least approached it, in 1693. He spoke of 'a subterranean labyrinth' he saw, 'not far from the pyramids'. But we think he saw other catacombs, not the Serapeum itself, or rather one of its extensions because he spoke of corridors running 'for miles like a city under the ground'. He added that the Egyptians he had met called this place 'the labyrinth', not to be confused with the famous above-ground labyrinth at Hawara in the Fayum area.

At roughly the same date, Paul Lucas, a French merchant who bought up antiquities on behalf of Louis XIV, found and visited the site and spoke of galleries already collapsed. I think Benoit de Maillet, Consul of France in Cairo from 1692 to 1708, also saw this place, but as you will see, it was very difficult at the time, when nobody could read hieroglyphs, to identify and understand it.
