Egyptian platforms ignited on Monday after the government expanded the implementation of the removal of ancient tombs. About 2700,15 cemeteries are scheduled to be removed and moved to new places in the May <> and Ramadan areas, while the family is responsible for transporting the remains.

Critics believe that these works neglected the principle of preserving heritage, others responded that the priority is for the public benefit and ending the traffic congestion that the Egyptian capital suffers from. In a televised intervention, Egyptian archaeologist Mustafa al-Sadiq suggested opening the tombs as shrines that the state would benefit from.
