"Renovation of Giza Pyramid Sparks Outrage Among Archaeologists"

The ongoing renovation of Egypt's Menkaura Pyramid at Giza has sparked controversy, with critics expressing concerns about the departure from global renovation guidelines and the potential impact on Egypt's rich legacy. The dispute reflects broader worries about historic preservation in Egypt, a nation heavily reliant on tourism, and raises questions about the balance between preservation and modernization. Similar debates on heritage preservation are also taking place in other parts of the world, such as the inaugural conference in Tashkent and restoration works for Lever House in New York.
