We met Dr. Zahi Hawass during his visit to Athens, where he received an award from AGON, International Archaeological and Cultural Doc Fest, and discussed with him about the importance of documentaries in communicating antiquity, the role where he feels he offers the most, and the one thing that still challenges him in archaeology.

Lebanon condemns Israeli strikes on the Ancient City of Tyre

The Ministry of Culture – Directorate General of Antiquities of Lebanon has issued a Press Release on the ongoing turbulent situation in the country, where Israeli strikes have caused damage to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Tyre, while threatening other monuments and sites. Due to Tyre's recognized heritage status, the Ministry notes that safeguarding the 5,000-year-old site is not solely Lebanon’s responsibility, but a collective obligation under international law and conventions dedicated to the protection of cultural heritage.
So far, a full assessment remains impossible due to the current security situation, but the Ministry confirmed that archaeological structures within the property were affected and will require a comprehensive field evaluation once access becomes safe.
