Supporting citation for public claim

A popular claim-review source documents lost-technology and ancient-alien claims about the Serapeum boxes; tested Egyptian stoneworking context does not make those claims proof.

The site and coffers are real and well worth studying. The leap to lost technology is not supported by enough measured, comparative, or contextual evidence.
