Recently, a video circulated on social media showing people negotiating to buy stone pieces from the archaeological area of the Giza Pyramids with the aim of sending them abroad. This footage sparked strong reactions and questions about the preservation of Egypt’s cultural heritage.
However, the Egyptian Ministry of Interior revealed that this video was actually old, dating back to 2016. The individuals involved in this incident were arrested at the time and legal measures were taken. It is therefore important to emphasize that this case is not recent, but has been resurrected by third parties to spread disinformation.
This manipulation of information raises questions about the reliability and veracity of content shared on social media. Indeed, the spread of fake news can have serious consequences, especially with regard to the preservation of a country’s cultural and historical heritage.
It is essential to raise public awareness about the importance of verifying the source and authenticity of information before sharing it. As responsible citizens, it is our duty to fight against disinformation and promote a culture of fact-checking.
The preservation of archaeological and cultural heritage is a collective responsibility that requires constant vigilance and continued commitment. By disseminating correct and verified information, we contribute to preserving the history and identity of a country for future generations.
In conclusion, this case reminds us of the importance of the integrity and veracity of information. As a society, we must remain vigilant against disinformation and act together to preserve our cultural and historical heritage.
