Sherif Fathy on Excavation Debate
In statements, Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Sherif Fathi discussed that the field of archaeology suffers from an abundance of opinions and viewpoints on social media. He emphasized that the ministry cannot respond to all simplistic or individually understandable ideas. He assured that strict legal procedures are in place to protect archaeological sites, including the formation of investigative committees and the removal of illegal constructions when necessary. He also stressed that government institutions are subject to oversight by legal advisors, and that permits for archaeological excavations are issued through precise procedures. Fathi pointed out that any unlicensed excavation activities are considered crimes punishable by imprisonment and fines. He called on the public to submit complaints through official channels rather than raising chaos on social media, reaffirming that decisions are made through institutional and legal processes to ensure the safeguarding of historical sites.
