Current Affairs Egyptologist clarifies his country's request for antiquities to be returned and praises Czech colleagues
The Czech Republic has a rich tradition of archaeology both at home and abroad. Over the years Czechs have made numerous discoveries in Egypt, and there is currently a Czech team working in the important archeological area of the Pyramid Necropolis in Abusir, south-west of Cairo. So it is no surprise that last week Prague was host to a major international conference that brought together more than 80 Egyptologists from around the world. They addressed important questions of preserving Egypt's extraordinary archaeological and artistic legacy. Our colleague Martin Mikule was there, and caught up with one of the foremost Egyptologists from land of the Pharaohs itself, Mr. Ali Radwan. He began by asking which European countries currently have teams working in Egypt.
