The Sound Healing Temples of Saqqara: Frequency Healing

Robert

Alright, welcome back to Mu the Motherland Podcast. Today, we're exploring into one of my absolute favorite places on the planet—Saqqara. And, Marlene, I gotta say, every time I think about Saqqara, I get this weird sense that it's not just Egyptian, you know? Like, there's something older humming beneath the surface.

Marlene

Yeah, I totally get that. Saqqara is just... it's different. The Step Pyramid, the serdab, all those chambers—there's this feeling that the knowledge there might not have started in Egypt at all. I mean, you look at the theories from people like Edgar Cayce, Blavatsky, even Churchward, and they all point to Atlantis as the source of this advanced tech and wisdom.

Robert

Exactly! Cayce especially—he talked about these "Temples of Initiation" in Egypt, where Atlantean survivors supposedly brought their sciences, including sound healing. And when you walk through Saqqara, it’s like, you can almost feel that inheritance. I remember my first visit—man, I was just a college kid, totally unprepared. I stepped into one of those resonance chambers, and it was like the air itself was vibrating. I know it sounds dramatic, but it felt like the place was built for more than just, you know, being a tomb or a monument. It was like it was designed for the soul, not just the body.

Marlene

That’s not dramatic at all. I mean, the architecture itself is so precise. The serdab, for example, is this tiny sealed room with a statue of the king, and it’s aligned with the stars. And then you have these narrow chambers that just... they resonate. When you make a sound in there, it’s not just an echo—it’s like the walls are singing back at you. That’s not an accident. The whole complex seems to be tuned to cosmic harmonics and even the Earth’s geomagnetic field, if you believe some of the more esoteric theories.

Robert

Yeah, and that’s the thing—whether you buy the Atlantean connection or not, there’s no denying that Saqqara feels like a preserved node in some kind of planetary network. It’s like, was this knowledge homegrown, or did it come from a much older civilization? I mean, we’ve talked about this before, like with the tunnels under Giza and the stuff we covered on Atlantis. Saqqara just fits right into that bigger mystery.

Marlene

So, let’s get into the science a bit. Researchers like Tom Danley and Paul Devereux have actually measured the frequencies in these chambers, and it’s wild. Some of them resonate right around 110 Hz, which is a frequency linked to altered states of consciousness and even physical regeneration. It’s almost psychedelic—people report feeling like they’re floating or slipping into a deep meditative state.

Robert

Yeah, and it’s not just 110 Hz. There’s this whole range of frequencies—432 Hz, 528 Hz, 639 Hz, 963 Hz—that show up in both ancient Egyptian music theory and modern sound healing. Like, 432 Hz is supposed to be in harmony with nature, 528 Hz is all about DNA repair and transformation, and so on. When you play these tones in the Saqqara chambers, the architecture and the stone actually amplify them. It’s like the whole place is a giant instrument.

Marlene

And you see it in the art, too. Priests are shown using sistrums, harps, all these instruments. Hathor, the goddess of music and joy, is always depicted with sound instruments in healing rituals. I think a lot of people assume that’s just symbolic, but what if it was literal? What if sound was the main tool for healing and initiation in these temples?

Robert

I mean, it makes sense. We talked about this in our episode on nature and sound healing—how certain frequencies can actually shift your emotional state or even your physical health. There’s a modern case I read about, Marlene, where a therapist used tuning forks and harmonic chanting to help people process trauma. The results were pretty amazing—people reported feeling lighter, more balanced, even after just a few sessions. It’s like we’re rediscovering what the ancients already knew.

Marlene

Absolutely. And it’s not just about feeling good. The Egyptians saw the body as a microcosm of the universe, with energy centers that could be tuned, almost like chakras. The temple layout itself might have been a kind of vibrational journey—each chamber activating a different part of your energy body, from root to crown. Walking through Saqqara could have been a healing pilgrimage, with sound as the guide.

Robert

And then there’s the stone itself. Saqqara was built with this high-crystalline-content limestone, which is actually piezoelectric. That means when you hit it with sound or vibration, it generates an electrical charge. So, you’re not just hearing the sound—you’re literally charging the space with energy. That’s some next-level engineering, whether it’s Atlantean tech or just Egyptian genius.

Marlene

Yeah, and that’s not unique to Saqqara. You see similar acoustic chambers in Malta, India, Peru—places that are all linked, at least in theory, to this lost planetary network of healing sites. It’s like there was a universal knowledge about how to use sound, stone, and geometry for healing and spiritual initiation. The idea that these temples were instruments, not just buildings, is so powerful.

Robert

And philosophically, the Egyptians believed that true health was about aligning yourself with Ma’at—cosmic order and harmony. Sound was the tool to realign your inner vibrations with the universe. The whole initiation process at Saqqara might have been about simulating death and resurrection, like the myth of Osiris. You’d go through these resonance chambers, get bathed in harmonic sound, and come out reborn—literally vibrating at a higher frequency.

Marlene

It’s such a beautiful idea. And it makes you wonder—are these ancient sites just ruins, or are they still active instruments, waiting for us to remember how to use them? As we rediscover frequency medicine and breathwork today, maybe we’re just tuning back in to the song these temples have been singing all along.

Robert

Yeah, and maybe that’s the real legacy of Saqqara and places like it. They remind us that healing isn’t just about fixing what’s broken—it’s about returning to harmony, with ourselves and with the earth. Alright, I think that’s a good place to wrap for today. Marlene, as always, thanks for going down the rabbit hole with me.
