A Strange Event in Its Timing!!

One day after the trial opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, an incident occurred involving the filming of a stray dog on top of the Khafre Pyramid.

Despite the unique trial opening of one of our greatest tourism projects of the 20th century—a magnificent event in its details and implications—this was also the moment when the popular campaign to recover our looted artifacts from museums around the world, led by our great scholar Dr. Zahi Hawass, revived.

His foundation, which was born large and includes a group of well-known personalities, is actively managed by Dr. Ali Abo Dashish.

Despite this grandeur, the world held its breath the following day as it watched a dog walking atop the pyramid’s peak and then deciding to descend in rapid leaps.

The photos were broadcast by an amateur foreign photographer who earned thousands of dollars from it. Our satellite channels, along with us, fell into the trap.

Instead of hosting global tourism experts to follow the opening event, the museum’s wings, and the largest artifacts in the world from one civilization, along with the dazzling exhibition of our ancestor Tutankhamun and his treasures, our channels and the world got caught up in hosting dog experts to talk to us about canine psychology and the hidden force that attracted the dog to the pyramid’s peak, how it knew its way and determined its path so quickly without its soft paws being harmed by the rocks!

It was a strange event in its timing, broadcast location, and professional filming.

It’s a shame that we are imposed upon with agendas of interests that distort us and the priorities of our media, and we blindly or cleverly follow them!!

I would also like to greet every Egyptian who participated in the construction, building, and trial opening, starting with the idea’s creator, artist Farouk Hosny, and down to the smallest Egyptian worker.
