Mostafa Waziri, Secretary General of the Upper Ancient Council of Egypt, recently presented the gigantic restoration project of the Mizerino pyramid: They will cover the man's smallest pyramid with granite blocks to regain its original appearance. Although Waziri has enthusiastically defended the project, the controversy has quickly awakened both on social media and among experts.

For Egyptologist Mónica Hanna, also Egyptian like Waziri, “all international agreements on heritage restoration are against such interventions. All that was missing, pinching the pyramid!”
