Antiquities Trash...Again!

Cairo/Giza Daily Photo (Maryanne Stroud Gabbani)

With photo.
There is an area out in the desert behind the Step Pyramid where the Sakkara Antiquities people dump their dig debris. This is an interesting place to ride as there are bits of ancient mudbrick, old bones, bits of pottery and so on. However, lately they have also been dumping basic garbage out there and that is NOT ok.
