Follow Up:Another Reason To Say “No” To Farouk Hosni

I was browsing the Anti-Farouk Hosni facebook groups when I stumbled in to an anti-Zahi Hawas facebook group formed by the faculty of archeology’s graduates in Egypt , you can read more about their problems in their group. It is another problem Zahi Hawas is not only responsible for in Egypt , Farouk Hosni is responsible too after all he is Hawas’ superior !! The problems of archeologists in Egypt are among the reasons why I say no to Hosni’s nomination for the UNESC , he has been a minister for too long to solve their problems.

Among the photos I found in the anti-Zahi Hawas group , terrible photos for an old house in the city of Rosetta , the city of Rosetta includes very old and very beautiful from the Islamic era. The house is called “El-Towakitty House” and it is registered in the antiquities authority in Egypt under No. “12ق”

I was shocked to see the house in such shape despite it is registered in the authority , already part of it is turned in a garbage dumpster , I was more shocked because I know that the ministry of culture in the past 2 years have spent more than LE 20 million to restore the city old historical houses which the city is famous for. Already if I am not mistaken President Mubarak had visited and inaugurated the city’s museum and its old houses after the restoration works last year. It seem that this house was not included because the photos were uploaded  in last April.

This house is not less  important than the Jewish synagogue which Farouk Hosni suddenly remembers. This is among our candidate for the UNESCO original job description : To take care and preserve our long history and heritage !! Think about the world heritage community !!
