All Pyramids Open to Public By Next Year!
Tonight at 7pm the History Channel is re-airing the ‘Lost Pyramid’. The Newsweek website has an interactive feature that gives an overview of the program. The Star Online today has an article promoting the airing of ‘The Lost Pyramid’. In it Dr Zahi Hawass is quoted as declaring that next year he wants all pyramids to be opened to the public! Recently, media members who congregated in Giza, in the south-west of the capital Cairo in northern Egypt, found themselves coming face to face with an Egyptian man on a mission. Dr Zahi Hawass, the secretary-general of Egyp’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, declared that by next year, he wants all the pyramids to be opened to the public. Surely he doesn’t really mean ALL of them. In a previous interview with Andrew Bayuk from Guardians, when asked about the pyramid of Unas being reopened to the public he said:
A pyramid like this, why do you open it to the public? Why do you ruin it? We’ll keep it for the future. Because this pyramid is unique. If you need to see a pyramid text, go to the Teti pyramid, but the Unas pyramid is a masterpiece, and therefore we are restoring it to close it. Those of you who’ve been following this blog and using the Pyramid Fields pages located at the top right of the page will know that I have been trying to keep the pages relevant and up-to-date in regards to which pyramids are open and their entry prices. As soon as any more information surfaces on this matter you can be sure that it will be posted here.
