I think that maybe there could be found something really precious from ancient times or with a great scientific importance!
Trash is being dumped all along the area between Saqqara and Dhasur, its not by the MSA! Its by trucks avoiding charges at the municipal dump!
This is a huge problem for us living out here. The Giza governorate has huge landfills that are poorly thought out and are often in conflict with locals and the military. But this stuff is trucked out from the Sakkara antiquities site and dumped in the desert by the Antiquities staff.
I suppose the dumpers believe they are helping nomads?
