Impact of seasonal climate changes in Beni Hassan archaeological site, el Minya, Egypt

Abstract EN

Archaeological site in Beni Hassan vulnerability to Seasonal climate change and other hazards constitutes a critical set of interactions between climate and environment.

The research indicates that both the amount and quality of data on preservation status of archaeological surveys in the Beni Hassan.

The objectives of this search are twofold: firstly; to demonstrate the importance of a long-term perspective on climate-environmental dynamics.

Secondly; to show the relevance of climatologically data in impact to illustrate with a case study how one may identify the component processes of environmental change in archaeological areas.

Evaluating regional impacts from possible climate change on Beni Hassan Archaeological Site requires a methodology to estimate extreme and short-duration climate statistics for the time period and the geographical analysis of interest.

For historical conditions, Seasonal Climate Changes effects can be investigated by analyzing trends in long-term historical records of climate.

For future conditions, projected changes in temperature and rainfall statistics are based on future scenarios in greenhouse gas emissions simulated in climate models or statistical extrapolation based on historical observations and field survey.

The results show that Tombs Archaeological in Beni Hassan has been subjected to marked physiographic modification.

This modification has been induced by Seasonal Climate Changes and variability.

In addition, negative human impacts.

The study recommends external protection of tombs, to reduce sand accumulation and rainwater harvesting, to address gaps, and to use colors for restoration in accordance with the design of tombs.
