Destroy Ancient Egypt.?

Don't know if this is the right section but anyway,

If the Egyptian Government wanted to destroy all the ancient pyramids and every monument realting to Ancient Egypt would they be allowed to this?
I know the pyramids are a world heritage site so could they?
Answers:
Of course they could, but they would be stupid to do so because the pyramids are part of their heritage and are a big tourism draw.

This is a silly question. They would never do it but they could among world wide outcry.

Since they do own the temples, etc it seems like they could but it's also a world monument (Giza, etc) so other countries should stop them.
That's an interresting question...

Of course they could.. all that would happen is people would ***** at them for a while.

So what would you have us do. Go to war to save a pile of rock? All be it the world would not be the same and loss of historical things is shameful but the dead are dead and the living are more important.
If it happens it will have to do more with religion than anything else. Look at what the Taliban did to ancient monuments in Afghanistan.

Do not worry. Egyptians are not fools to demolish them since because of them only they are getting a large number of visitors as tourists.
But to some extent you are correct. Al Queda have destroyed The Budha statue in Afghanistan so if some fanatical Muslim group heads Egypt it could happen. If it happens nobody could do anything about it.
