Hey Guys,
With 'news' (and I use that word very cautiously) that a minority within Egypt wish for the Great Pyramids to be destroyed or covered in wax, I was wondering how this could be achieved historically, post-1945.
Is there any opportunity post-WWII for the Egyptians to either fall to the Wahhabi sect - the ultra-conservative Islamic sect that has historically led the destruction of the Buddhas of Bamiyan and, more recently, is leading the devastation of many pre-Islamic monuments within Timbuktu - or for a civil war to kick off where the Wahhabi sect controls the area around the Great Pyramids and so during this occupation time destroy the Pyramids and/or sphinx?
