After a video circulated widely on social media in recent hours, claiming to show the discovery of an archaeological tomb during the work of a solar energy company in Aswan Governorate, the Ministry of Interior categorically denied the matter.

The ministry confirmed in a statement published yesterday evening on its official website that security agencies monitored the circulation of the video in which an individual claimed to have found an archaeological tomb during the work of a foreign solar energy company in Aswan.

It clarified that there are no archaeological signs at the indicated location, and that the excavation marks seen in the video are the result of natural rock fractures and faults in the area.

It also added that security agencies were able to identify and apprehend the individual responsible for filming and publishing the video, who turned out to be a worker residing in the jurisdiction of the Second Police Station in Aswan.

The detained individual admitted to fabricating the claim and filming and publishing the video with the aim of "increasing viewership and generating financial profits," confirming that necessary legal actions have been taken regarding the incident.

The video clip had sparked reactions on social media after it included allegations about the discovery of an archaeological grave at a site belonging to one of the solar energy companies in Aswan, before security agencies revealed the truth of the incident and denied the existence of any archaeological discovery at the site.
