“From Pharaonic tombs, to Mamluk mosques, and from Coptic monasteries to Roman villas,” you can now take online tours of Egypt's most important archaeological sites. The Google Arts & Culture organisation has teamed up to create the digital platform 'Preserving Egypt’s Layered History' with archaeologists at the American Research Centre in Cairo revealing “stories of the restoration of diverse locations around Egypt”. — The Art Newspaper
Preserving Egypt's Layered History offers more than 35 online sections covering topics such as "the conservation of the monastery of St. Anthony, an ancient Coptic church located 334km southeast of Cairo," and much more. Visitors can explore the mosque of Aslam al-Shilahdar, which was built in 1344 and can even tour the tomb of a high-ranking official named Menna, who lived 3,000 years ago.
