The Benghazi Antiquities Monitor described the demolition and surveying of the cities and archaeological areas in the city of Benghazi as “absurd”, in light of the demolition of the archaeological city of “Usperides”.
The Benghazi Antiquities Observer, Nasser Al-Harari, demanded in a statement posted on the Monitoring Facebook page that he called the “General Command” to stop the demolition work in the city, which it considered a crime once morest the city’s cultural heritage and an explicit assault on the Libyans’ property and the threat it poses to the country’s national security, according to the statement. .
Al-Harari drew attention to the historical and archaeological importance of the city, which was built in the late seventh century BC, and is located at the northern end of the “Zariyyah” sabkha in Benghazi.
The Antiquities Watch published on its page pictures showing the demolition of the city, calling for a serious stance from everyone to preserve the cultural heritage.
