Illegal digging, also known as looting or tomb raiding, has been a persistent problem in Egypt for many years.
The country's rich archaeological heritage and the lure of valuable artifacts have made it a prime target for looters.
According to a twenty eighteen report by the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, there were more than thirty cases of illegal digging or attempted illegal digging reported in the country that year alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most important lesson you can learn from history?
This question doesn't have an easy answer. There are three things to keep in mind when learning. First, we need to recognize that knowledge is the power of learning. Second, knowledge is cumulative. Third, we must appreciate how quickly knowledge changes.
Knowledge is power. Because it empowers people to make better decisions. If we had complete information, we wouldn't have any difficulty making decisions. We would do exactly what we wanted, regardless of whether it was right and wrong.
However, while knowledge is power, it is also cumulative. This means that once we've learned something, we continue to add more knowledge to our brains. As time goes on, we become smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's move on to the next point. Although knowledge is cumulative it doesn't remain static for very long. Knowledge is constantly evolving. Scientists are constantly discovering new facts, theories, or ways to think. Every day, new discoveries are made.
Our culture is dependent on technology that allows us instant access to information. It is possible to store large amounts of data digitally and share it with millions of people around the world.
In addition to technology, globalization has changed the way we view knowledge. Globalization refers the process whereby ideas and products are spread across borders. Globalization means that knowledge is accessible anywhere.
The internet allows anyone to access information any where in the world. Anybody can access the internet to read, watch movies, listen and play music, as well as surf the net. Knowledge is required for all of these activities.
Knowledge is becoming more accessible but also more specialized. Today, there are thousands of websites providing advice on topics such a health, finance, business and cooking. These sites provide information on virtually every topic imaginable.
You'll find only a few sites that offer automotive-related services or products if your goal is to purchase a car online. Instead of finding thousands of sites covering every conceivable subject, you'll find only a handful covering cars.
Experts in specific fields are able to create and share valuable knowledge. Experts often have an in-depth knowledge of a subject. Experts are also capable of producing high-quality content targeted at their audience.
This is great news for consumers as they no longer have to search through a lot of useless information. Instead, they can concentrate on a few sites that have lots of useful content.
Experts also gain from specialization, as they can create strong businesses around the expertise that they have. If someone purchases a book, they expect the author to be an expert in his field and to present a clear and concise explanation. He wants to be confident that the author understands his message.
Experts who do not specialize risk losing potential customers.
There are many areas of expertise. Nowadays, specialists are not limited to one area. One might be an accountant, lawyer, doctor, teacher, or other specialist. We are also likely to be parents, spouses and friends.
Experts argue that specialization is so common that it's impossible for one person to be an expert in all aspects of the same thing.
So, how do you become a specialist in multiple areas? You can do it by practicing. To learn anything, you have to practice. When you start to make progress, it's important to keep going until your skills are recognized by others.
Many industries today are dedicated to helping others accomplish this goal. People can quickly learn through courses, workshops seminars, conferences, schools and other venues.
Who first said that people who don't learn history from the past are stupid?
As much as we would love to live in an ideal world where everyone learns from history, there is nothing more valuable than learning from our mistakes.
Experience it wrong is the best way to learn.
The only real mistake is not trying to ensure you do it right the first time.
You'll eventually discover why you made the changes if you continue to make them.
You might find out that it was easier than you thought.
It doesn't mean that you shouldn't continue to try. That means you've learnt a lot.
Although you might not be able make every mistake, it is possible to minimize them. That's what makes the difference between success or failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes is the first step. Look at them objectively and ask: "What can I learn?"
You'll find that mistakes can be viewed as lessons if you are honest with yourself. These are opportunities to learn.
Thomas Edison had to go through the exact same thing. He failed many times before inventing the light bulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. He used every failure as an opportunity to improve the design.
And over time, he invented the most popular form of lighting today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your failures. You should learn from your mistakes.
And then, you can try again.
What can we learn by Abraham Lincoln's example?
Abraham Lincoln stated, "I am slow learner; I am quick to forget."
He was aware of the importance to continue learning, knowing that there would be a time when he would have to relearn his old habits and adopt new ones.
The same goes for businesses. No matter how hard we plan for success there will be times where we run into roadblocks that cause us to get stuck in a rut.
It is crucial to continue to learn and grow. Even after we achieve success, it is essential to continue learning.
Lincoln was the right person. He knew that he could improve his business' effectiveness, but he couldn’t stop learning.
There are two types of entrepreneurs. They are those who are busy and those that stay smart.
Those who keep busy are focused on their business' growth. They focus on customer service and marketing strategies.
While they might feel that they have made a significant contribution, often they are not. Unless these entrepreneurs are also focused on staying smarter, they won't achieve sustainable growth.
What sets successful entrepreneurs apart? The ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances.
Entrepreneurs who are successful find ways to improve their products and services when they face challenges.
The average businessperson, however, will continue to use outdated methods that don't work. They refuse to change course until their business fails.
It is essential to learn both the art of adapting and self-reflection in order for success.
What can we learn from the past?
There are three lessons we've learned from history. To change the world, you have to do it all yourself. Second, it is essential to prepare people for change if you want to transform their lives. Third, when you change the future, you have to make it better.
The first lesson is that there are two ways to change the world. One is to fight to get it. The other is to create. If you fight for it you lose sight on why you started to fight.
While you cannot control their reactions to your ideas or how they present them, you can influence how they are presented. You'll inevitably fail if you set out to convince someone of something. However, if you are determined to motivate someone to take action, you will succeed.
Every great movement began with someone who had an idea and decided that they would act on it. So whether you're creating change or reacting to it, the best way to make your mark is to follow these three rules: Be clear about what you want, be honest about where you come from, and be brave enough to go where nobody else has gone before.
Second, we have the ability to choose. We can either allow our lives to unfold, or choose to create them. This means that we have to decide what kind life we want. Do we expect someone else to let us live? Or do we want to take charge of our destiny?
We are living in a golden age, I would argue. There's more opportunity than ever before, creating a lot of excitement. It's exciting to see people feel empowered to shape their future.
It can also cause problems. Because not everyone knows exactly what they want or even how to get it, it's important to figure out what you want and find a way to get it.
Let's assume you want to purchase a house. You could relax and hope that someone will give you a gift voucher to Home Depot. Or, you can ask yourself, "What do I love to be doing?" Find a job that will allow you to do it. Next, apply for financing.
Let's suppose you want to travel the globe. The question you might be asking yourself is "Where do I want go?" The next step is to start saving money, research countries online, talk with friends, etc. The final step is to book a flight.
Let's say that you don't have a clear idea of what you want. You would most likely do one of these things. Asking yourself these questions will increase your chances of getting the results you desire. Although it may sound silly, it is effective.
The third lesson is the ability to always improve the future, regardless of what happens next. It's easy. Our choices shape who we are and who we become.
The trick to success is to look back at history and learn from their mistakes and successes.
You're already behind if you don't think you have anything to offer the world. You must believe that you are capable of doing more than you thought possible.
If you don't know where to begin, start with what you know. Start small and build from there. Think about what you've learned throughout your life. What have your failures been? What has been your greatest success? How have you overcome obstacles?
Remember that you are the only one who can limit your potential. No matter what others say, you are capable of doing anything you set your mind to.
Benjamin Franklin once said that "Nothing will work without you."

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
Ferdinand de Lesseps created the Suez Canal in 1869. This was his dream to connect Europe and Asia. He needed to create a canal that would cross the Isthmus of Suez, which is the narrowest point. This would allow ships from Europe to reach India or China. The process involved building several locks and dams. He visited Egypt multiple times, and there he met with Khedive Ismail Pasha in order to finance the project. After he returned from Egypt, he discovered that Napoleon III had been defeated and had been replaced by The Second Empire. This was not a good idea as it would have cost too much. He was there for three years before the French government offered to finance the project. In 1859, after the British were defeated at the Battle of Omdurman during the Sudan War, they signed a treaty allowing them access to the Red Sea via the Suez Canal, which opened in 1869.
This project opened up trade routes and increased international commerce. It led to the development in many countries, including South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
In addition, the Suez Canal made it possible to travel much quicker than before. It used to take weeks and months to cross Isthmian Peninsula. But now it takes only days. People could now visit Paris, London, Rome and Constantinople without needing to travel long distances by sea and brave storms. The Suez Canal cut the distance between North America to Europe by nearly 3000 miles. This made it easier to move back and foreward. The Suez Canal was one of the greatest transportation projects of all time.
But the Suez Canal was also problematic because it divided up the Ottoman Empire, which eventually led to World War I. During the war the British used Suez Canal in an attack on Germany. But the Germans attacked Britain using their canal version. After the end of the war, the Suez Canal came under Egyptian control, although the British still controlled the land on either side of it.
After the Second World War, the Suez Canal remained an important part of global trade until the Arab-Israeli conflict began in 1948. Both sides were initially reluctant to oppose each other because they feared the other would use force. Israel eventually seized the Sinai peninsula in 1967 from Egypt. The Suez Canal was then closed to all shipping but military vessels. The Suez Canal was closed to civilian traffic for four more years after being shut down by Egypt's military forces. President Sadat eventually reopened it in 1973.
