13.When your country relies heavily on tourism and you lose more than a third of your visitors due to political revolution,you've got to do something pretty dramatic to get them back.And if you are Egypt,you reopen a pyramid.The Egyptian government recently announced that one of its great pyramids 一 the Pyramid of Chefren 一 and as many as six other ancient tombs at the Giza Necropolis (吉萨金字塔群) will be reopened after a long restoration project.The move was made in an attempt to revive (重振) a tourism industry that was badly affected by last year's unrest.
Egypt became a no-go area following the unrest in 2011.Scenes of violent protests,mainly in the Capital Cairo,were broadcast ACROSS the world and understandably took the country off the holiday trail.
Despite that questions are still being asked about the security of potential tourists visiting the region,Egypt's antiquities minister Muhammad Ibrahim insisted that it was a safe country.He said the region was far more stable one year on,adding that other archaeological (考古的) sites were due to be opened across Egypt in coming months.
The Pyramid of Chefren,also known as the Pyramid of Chafren,is the second largest pyramid at the Giza site.It was built as the tomb for the Pharaoh Chafren from ancient Egypt's fourth dynasty.The pyramid and the other around it,were discovered in 1927 by American archaeologist George Reinser,and have been closed for restoration on several other occasions in the past.
In 1990s a site management plan was carried out to try and preserve these historic treasures when the antiquities ministry discovered that the large volume of visitors over the years had raised levels of humidity inside the structures to levels of up to 80 percent.Research found that every visitor to the pyramids released an average of 20 grams of water vapor through sweat,which slowly caused damage to the walls inside.
The project,which cost around $4 million,included cleaning the walls of the tombs and strengthening them,as well AS removing graffiti left by previous visitors.Inscriptions (铭文)and paintings were also preserved.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN FIFTEEN WORDS.)
