The Halls of Amenti, in the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, are underground chambers where the "mighty ones of Atlantis" renewed their lives from age to age and where Thoth says his own body rests between incarnations. Billy Carson's position in this live stream is that he has located two of them: one beneath the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, the other in the Serapeum about fifty feet underground at the same site, where rows of enormous granite boxes sit in alcoves off a long gallery. Egyptology identifies the first as Djoser's burial vault and the second as the burial place of the sacred Apis bulls, and dates the Emerald Tablets text itself to 1939 rather than 36,000 BCE.
Carson is upfront that the stream is a preview. Broadcasting from a hotel laptop in Los Angeles, he reads from his Compendium of the Emerald Tablets, shows photos and video from inside both Saqqara sites, and says the full case will appear in his series Anunnaki: Ancient Secrets Revealed on 4BK TV. The tour promotion and chat are left out here.
What do the Emerald Tablets say about the Halls of Amenti?
Carson reads a sequence of passages. Thoth introduces himself as "master of mysteries, keeper of records, mighty king, magician, living from generation to generation, being about to pass into the Halls of Amenti." The Atlanteans, the text says, did not live and die "as the little men of the present age" but "from eon to eon did they renew their life in the Halls of Amenti, where the river of life flows eternally onward." Thoth describes descending "a hundred times ten" into the dark way and returning renewed, receiving "the key of life" from the lords of life and death, and being "free of the Halls of Amenti, bound not by death to the circle of life." Before leaving Egypt he says he raised "a mighty pyramid" over the passage, "using the power that overcomes Earth's force," set a crystal in its apex to draw force "from out of the ether," and built other chambers that seem empty but hold the keys. His soul, he says, will "incarnate and dwell among men in one form or another" while his body sleeps below.
Carson glosses each line. The river of life he pairs with John 7:38, "out of his being shall flow rivers of living water." "The power that overcomes Earth's force" is anti-gravity. The apex crystal is the Great Pyramid's missing capstone, harvesting energy to keep the chambers charged. Thoth's "emissary on Earth" line he reads literally: Thoth could be walking around today, and anyone who has absorbed the tablets carries "a fractal of the consciousness of the author."
The text he is reading is Maurice Doreal's The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean, published by the Brotherhood of the White Temple in 1939. Doreal said he translated it from tablets held under the Great Pyramid; no such tablets have been produced, and scholars treat the work as a twentieth-century composition drawing on Theosophy and the medieval Emerald Tablet of Hermes. Amenti is a real Egyptian word, Amentet, the West, the realm of the dead; Egyptian texts do not describe regeneration chambers there.
How does Carson say the chambers worked?
In his reading, the Halls held boxes of diorite and crystalline granite in which a body could rest for a hundred years at a time while its owner's consciousness moved into another body. The bodies were not stolen, he stresses, but fabricated, "just like the movie Avatar." He points to present-day science as proof of concept: a skin cell reprogrammed into stem cells, stem cells assembled into a synthetic embryo, and then, the step still missing, a transfer of mind into the grown copy. He names Russia's 2045 Initiative as a project aiming at exactly that.
Stem-cell-derived embryo models have been grown from mouse and human cells since 2022, and they are models for studying early development, not organisms grown to adulthood. The 2045 Initiative, founded by Dmitry Itskov in 2011, set a goal of transferring personality to an artificial carrier and has published no result toward it.
Why Saqqara, site one: beneath the Step Pyramid
Carson's first candidate is the chamber under Djoser's pyramid. He shows himself hunched in a passage about four and a half feet high, then at the overlook where visitors stand, and then, in a video with his wife Elizabeth and a small group led by one of the site guardians he calls the pyramid priests, descending through a gate "locked for decades" to the floor of the shaft. At the bottom is a large box of rose granite behind granite blocks, which he says is a rejuvenation chamber of the kind the tablets describe.
Egyptology's account: the Step Pyramid, built for Djoser around 2650 BCE by his architect Imhotep, sits over a central shaft about 28 meters deep with a granite burial vault at the bottom, sealed by a granite plug. The vault was found empty apart from fragments; the galleries around it held tens of thousands of stone vessels. It is the earliest large stone building in Egypt, which is why access to the substructure is restricted. The granite box Carson films is that vault.
Site two: the Serapeum
His second candidate is the Serapeum, which he films with his sons. He walks the gallery, points into alcoves holding boxes he estimates at 600 to 1,000 tons with lids of several hundred tons, stands inside one at six foot four and can barely see over the rim, and describes interior surfaces so smooth that he cannot imagine the tooling. The logistics are his strongest argument: the boxes are too large to carve above ground and bring down the narrow descent, and too large to carve in place from a larger block, so "there's only two ways: one is teleportation and the second is the ability to manifest them there." He adds that the lids which are open were opened in antiquity, since a nineteenth-century excavator who tried explosives on a sealed one only caused damage.
The Serapeum was excavated by Auguste Mariette from 1850, and the gallery Carson walks holds 24 sarcophagi used for the burials of the Apis bulls from Amenhotep III through the Ptolemaic period. The boxes are granite, basalt and limestone, on the order of 60 to 80 tons each with lids of 20 to 30 tons, heavy but within the range of other Late Period stonework. Mariette's account records a sealed sarcophagus opened with explosives; it held a bull burial. Archaeologists attribute the placement to sledges and sand-lowering in trenches beside each alcove, and the smooth interiors to abrasive polishing. How the largest were maneuvered in the narrow galleries is a real question, which is why the Serapeum is a staple of the lost-technology debate.
What about the Great Pyramid?
Carson relays the Compendium's narrative: Thoth ruled Egypt for 16,000 years, built the Great Pyramid to guard the tablets and hide the entrance to Amenti, and left; around 1200 BCE his priests carried the tablets to the former Atlantean colonies, seeding religious revivals, and finally buried them under a temple in Mexico, where Doreal collected them in the 1920s. He mentions a survey that found empty "archway halls" under the plateau, and describes the Great Pyramid's subterranean chamber, which his tour groups enter: a descending passage the length of a football field, a further drop, and "a whole other world of shafts" beyond. He also cites the Book of the Master of the Hidden Places, said to survive from the reign of a king he calls Hezepti, and the Book of the Dead's reference to "those who live among the stars."
The Great Pyramid's subterranean chamber is an unfinished room cut into bedrock at the end of a 105-meter descending passage; it is on the standard archaeological plan and open on special permits, and no radar or muon survey has reported halls extending from it. The "Hezepti" reference comes from E. A. Wallis Budge's edition of the Book of the Dead, which repeats an ancient note that one chapter was found in the time of the First Dynasty king Den, around 2970 BCE, not 428 BCE.
Who was Lord Pakal, and what is the "sky ship"?
Because the Compendium places the tablets' last hiding place under Pakal's pyramid, Carson shows the sarcophagus lid from Palenque: a figure reclining with hands on what he reads as controls, feet on a pedal, a tube at the nose and something like exhaust below. He shows a three-dimensional rendering that, to him, makes the machine obvious, and suggests Pakal, Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan and Thoth may all be one figure.
The lid covers the tomb of K'inich Janaab' Pakal, who died in 683 CE, and Maya epigraphers read the scene as the king falling into the jaws of the underworld along the World Tree, with the "controls" being the tree's roots and the sacrificial bowl. The astronaut reading comes from Erich von Däniken's Chariots of the Gods (1968).
Did Thoth use sound to lift stone?
Carson closes with cymatics. The tablets, he says, describe levitation and the manifestation of matter through frequency and light, and he cites a recent laboratory creation of matter from light as confirmation. In the Tablet of Shamash he sees a god teaching anti-gravity: an oscillator and a frequency pattern over a table that one man holds with a single hand.
Acoustic levitation is real for small objects, and the 2021 Breit–Wheeler experiments did produce matter–antimatter pairs from photon collisions, though not solid objects. The Tablet of Shamash, from Sippar around 860 BCE and now in the British Museum, shows the sun god enthroned while two figures steady a sun disk on an altar with ropes; its inscription records the restoration of the god's cult image. The anti-gravity reading is Carson's.

Frequently asked questions
What are the Halls of Amenti? In the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, underground halls where the Atlanteans renewed their lives and where Thoth's body rests between incarnations. In Egyptian religion Amentet is the West, the land of the dead.
Where does Billy Carson think they are? He names two Saqqara sites: the granite vault beneath Djoser's Step Pyramid and the gallery of giant boxes in the Serapeum. Egyptology identifies these as Djoser's burial chamber and the Apis bull burials.
How heavy are the Serapeum boxes? Carson estimates 600 to 1,000 tons. Published measurements put most at 60 to 80 tons with lids of 20 to 30 tons, still among the heaviest single stones moved underground in Egypt.
Are the Emerald Tablets an ancient text? The version Carson reads was published by Maurice Doreal in 1939. No original tablets have been produced, and scholars treat it as a modern work; Carson treats it as a 36,000-year-old record.
