Egypt abandons plan to renovate one of the pyramids of Giza. The goal of the project was to replace several layers of granite blocks, which had collapsed over time or been stolen.
The review committee ordered an end to the renovation work. It still gave its consent to excavate the boat pits of the Mykerinos pyramid, but only after a “clear and detailed scientific study”. The controversy began at the end of January following the publication of a video, by Mostafa Waziri, showing workers aligning granite blocks.
