Youth Campaign to Save the Pyramids

More that 400 Egyptian youths descended on Giza plateau on the weekend to campaign for the preservation of the ancient Egyptian pyramids.

The march was organised by the Cultural Ministry of Egypt to encourage the younger generation to learn more about Egypt’s ancient history and to raise the public’s awareness of the need to preserve the monuments.

“We hope people can have an understanding of our history by seeing these ancient relics. We should treasure the legacies we inherited and encourage people to learn about ancient Egyptian civilization.” said one of the students involved in the march.

   Congratulations Vincent.
   And exactly today I discovered your great blog, thanks to your comment-answer about the blinds over at Cairo/Giza DP. I had almost forgotten that word.
