Introduction
As a faculty member at South Valley University in Egypt, I specialize in studying the biological damage that can occur to archaeological materials, as well as developing treatment and prevention strategies to mitigate these effects. Specifically, my research focuses on the impact of fungi, bacteria, and algae on stones and wall painting, as well as the use of nanoparticles to protect the archaeological materials from damage.

The increasing demand for sustainable alternatives to conventional antifungal agents has prompted extensive research into the antifungal properties of plant essential oils (EOs). This study investigates the use of EOs mixture (Origanum vulgare, Moringa oleifera, and Cinnamomum verum) for controlling fungal deterioration in wall paintings at the arc...
This research aimed to identify bacterial species present in six detoriated painted relief samplescollected from the catacomb of Kom Al-Shoqafa cemetery in Alexandria, Egypt, and to evaluatetheir antibacterial susceptibility toward chitosan nanoparticles synthesized in the study. GenomicDNA from three bacterial isolates were amplified using univers...
This study aimed to investigate the effects of microbes onthe composition of archaeological sandstone at theTemple of Isis in Qus city, Egypt. Six samples ofdegraded sandstone were collected to evaluate thedeterioration process and analyzed by using X-Raydiffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM),and USB digital microscope. Microbial iso...
Abstract Despite their threatens for Egyptian stone monuments, A few studies focused on using biocontrol agents against deteriorative fungi and bacteria instead of using chemical assays that leave residuals leading to human toxicity and environmental pollution. This work aims to isolate and identify fungal and bacterial isolates that showed deterio...

The archaeological buildings in Upper Egypt are exposed to many deterioration factors. The wild pigeon that lives in Habu Temple (Luxor) is considered one of the most deterioration factors causing damage to the archaeological buildings. Various mechanisms and forms of damage occur by wild pigeon. The current research aims to study the physical and...
Nanoparticles (NPs) have been proposed as an innovative strategy to prevent fungal colonization of cultural heritage, but until now their efficacy has mainly been proved against fungi in planktonic conditions. Four fungi from microbial alterations of the royal tomb of Tausert and Setnakht in the Valley of the Kings, Thebes, West Bank, Modern Luxor,...
