On ZOOM (see the link below)

Presented by:

Dr. Mostafa Waziry - Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities

Through last year 2019, many excavations, discoveries and conservation works were implemented in many sites in Egypt (lower and upper Egypt) to cover all the country. Our work involved different kinds of soil such as sand, mud, and dusty soil. In spite of the difficulties that faced our team like increasing sun, temperature, and rains, we enjoyed the work.

Our works did not focus on one field of archaeological work. They differentiated among excavations, discoveries, and conservation. Excavation works and discoveries were implemented in some important places that have a special role in Egyptian history and symbolic importance in Egyptian civilization such as Memphis and Luxor. A lot of treasures have been discovered as a result of those excavations like tombs that containing on mummies, statues, coffins, and some of funeral furniture.

After finding many important discoveries with Egyptian hands, many Egyptian museums had to be prepared for the opening soon. Conservation works varied among conservation, reconstruction, and cleaning. They were witness on developing some archaeological regions like Tanis and several site management plans have been implemented for several archaeological sites
