Bulldozed Al-Baqi a question mark … Cairo hosts confab for Arab heritage protection

By: Sultan Ahmed

CAIRO, Egypt: Ninth congress of the General Union of Arab Archaeologists was held in Egyptian capital city of Cairo with more than 100 researchers participated.

The conference discussed ways of protecting archeological monuments and Arab heritage from dangers because of the wars in Palestine, Iraq and Lebanon.

Prior to the conference, head of the Union said in a statement that conference titled Studies in the Arab World and the effects discussed in the workshops studies designed to protect the Arab heritage.

A special session was dedicated to cultural destruction left behind by the Israeli aggression on Lebanon.

Arab delegations representing universities, institutes and scientific bodies concerning heritage in the Arab world attended the two-day conference.

It is worth noting that the holy shrines of Ahl-ol Beit (a), and graves of holy Prophet (s)’s wives and companions (r) in the cemeteries of Al-Baqi and Al-Moalla were bulldozed in early 1920s by the then Saudi rulers, and these destructed holy heritage is still a question mark for these international organizations working for protection and rebuilding of archeological signs.
