Antiquities protect Alexandria's Shatabi Cemetery

The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities is working to save the Shatibi Cemetery in Alexandria, following an increase in groundwater levels caused by a malfunction of one of the lifting pumps, which led to the site being flooded by approximately 90% of water. The cemetery is located about 6 meters below the surface and is considered one of the most important archaeological sites representing part of the city's history, having been uncovered during excavations in the early 20th century. The relevant authorities continue their efforts to preserve this historic site from deterioration due to groundwater intrusion.
