Just to add to our troubles...

Opening the tomb of a 4,500-year-old pharaoh to tourists for the first time in 2021 displays as much foresight as buying cocaine at 3am.

They've been working on restoring the site for several years. Why do you think it's problematic to open it up for tourism?

@Northwest Tourists + old tombs surely can't be a good combination! 😮

(I'm kidding, it's good news)

@Northwest The article stated they had been restoring since 2006 and the Covid pandemic interfered as well as the 2011 uprising.
Curse of the mummy?

That is incredibly old even for Pyramids.
This has to give Egypt an incredible shot in the arm for tourism.

How so? I am sure it will be popular, so from that perspective it would seem a good idea. What are the downsides?

@Adaydreambeliever Damage to the structure through erosion.
@ArtieKat ...from people urinating around it?

A guarantee that it won't still be here in another 4,500 years.

Ahhh... it's wondrous to see that delicious sarcasm of yours again in a new post!

Djoser's step pyramid has been in my Egypt bucket list for ages. Hey, if famous Egyptologists like Salima or Zahi give this a 👍, then I am all in!

But, does anyone actually care?
@JoeyFoxx Yes.
