The renovation of the pyramid of Mykerinos, on the Giza plateau, has sparked controversy. The Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities and Tourism announced on Saturday February 3 that it had formed a study committee to analyze the project.

A week ago, the head of Egyptian Antiquities, Mostafa Waziri, published a video showing workers aligning granite blocks on the base of the lowest of the three pyramids of Giza. The question of heritage preservation in Egypt is often the subject of heated debate.
