The Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities and Tourism announced the formation of a study committee for the renovation of the Mykerino pyramid. 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.
Immediately, many Egyptologists and Egyptians rose up, denouncing an attack on heritage and calling on UNESCO and academics to mobilize. “A decision will be taken to decide whether or not to carry out this project” of renovation, affirms the ministry.
