Antiquities continues architectural elevation work at the Pharaoh’s Hill site in the city of Al-Husseiniyah in Sharkia Governorate, as part of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities’ plan to document archaeological sites and raise their efficiency in preparation for future protection and development work, in a way that contributes to preserving the Egyptian cultural heritage and promoting scientific studies related to it.
Antiquities continues the architectural elevation work on Pharaoh’s Hill in Al-Husseiniyah in Sharqia
The work is being carried out by a specialized team of archaeologists and engineers at the Supreme Council of Antiquities, using the latest artistic and technical means of measuring, drawing and documentation, with the aim of preparing accurate maps of the discovered architectural elements and recording their current condition, ensuring their scientific documentation in accordance with approved international standards.
It is noteworthy that the Pharaoh’s Hill area is considered one of the important sites that reflects the development of urbanization and human settlement in the Egyptian Delta over multiple eras, as previous work on the site resulted in the discovery of the remains of architectural facilities and cultural manifestations with distinct historical connotations, which contribute to redrawing the features of daily, economic and religious life during ancient periods.
These efforts come within the framework of the Ministry’s strategy to preserve archaeological sites that are not open for visitation, and work to prepare them in the future within sustainable tourism development programs, in order to achieve a balance between preserving heritage and making it available to the public in a safe and thoughtful manner.
Architectural elevation work is scheduled to continue during the coming period, in preparation for the preparation of comprehensive technical reports that contribute to supporting restoration and protection plans, and enhancing the position of Sharkia Governorate on the map of cultural and archaeological tourism in Egypt.
