History of pigeons around the Sphinx
A picture of the Sphinx from the Giza Pyramids area has circulated, showing large numbers of birds, especially pigeons, sitting on the face and body of the monument. This has sparked a debate about the impact of the birds' presence on the archaeological statue. Although pigeons may be used to boost tourism in the area, the abundance of birds raises concerns about potential damage to the limestone caused by their droppings. However, the birds are considered part of the historical environment of the region. The news clarifies that the Sphinx is over 4,500 years old and is subject to continuous maintenance and restoration. It emphasizes that a long-term presence of pigeons is not new to the area and that protecting the monument requires monitoring its environmental condition and providing solutions to preserve it without harming the birds.
