Egypt's Heritage at Risk!

I guess that if you stumbled upon this blog, you are interested in what is happening to Egypt's Historic sites and about the riots that have broken out last week against the leader Mubarak.

Unfortunately 2 mummies were profaned, one of which was decapitated. Some statues were also damaged and now the army have tightened security and barricaded the way to the pyramids to prevent extremists of the Brotherhood from damaging some of the World's Oldest and most Precious artifacts.

It should be not only the Egyptian authorities concern but also of those who have History at heart and especially UNESCO should take some form of initiative to preserve this world heritage as best!

For more information check out websites such as BBC News for latest updates on the Riots and this article on All Voices which speaks of the looting!
