Books – Muhammad Abu Bakr:
A circulating video clip of the process of transporting large antiquities, coffins and mummies on the metro rails, sparked great controversy. The video, which was only a few seconds long, showed the process of transporting the antiquities underground via the metro and among passengers without clarifying its final path.
Magdy Shaker, chief archaeologist at the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, revealed the details of the video that has been widely circulated since yesterday, which shows coffins in a metro station.
Shaker explained, during his meeting with journalist Ahmed Diab, presenter of the Sabah Al-Balad program, broadcast on Sada Al-Balad channel, that the duration of the video is ten seconds and that it spread widely across social networking sites, noting that the widespread video shows one of the metro stations, where it appears. People follow without amazement.

The chief archaeologist at the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities confirmed that the video is fake and incorrect, explaining that the recipient must verify the authenticity of the content being shown to him, noting that the process of transporting antiquities requires special rituals and security arrangements, and this matter is not as easy as some believe.
