Egypt
Renovations resumed at Djoser's Step Pyramid
Youm7 (Dina Abd El Aleem)
Mohammed Abdel Fattah, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, inspected the ongoing renovations at the step pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara with General Mohammed el-Sheikha, head of the developments unit of the council Monday.
Abdel Fattah said that the pyramid is stable and there is no need to be concerned. He went onto say that the renovation company is fulfilling it duties and there are no obstacles to completion or issues with the already-appropriated three million EGP (U.S. $503,000) budget.
He added that this project must be completed because of the pyramid’s historical, archaeological, and artistic importance as the oldest pyramid in Egypt.
