Salma al-Shimi, who has thousands of followers on Instagram, last week posted images of herself in ancient Egyptian garb with pharaoh-like accessories near the 4,700-year-old Step Pyramid of Djoser, according to the Guardian.
The busty model and lensman Houssam Mohammad allegedly took part in the shoot “without authorization in the Saqqara archaeological site,”
They were released on bail pending the results of a probe of what local media described as “provocative and offensive” images, according to the outlet.
... Shimi had appeared before a public prosecutor and argued that her goal had been to promote tourism rather than offend Egypt...
She reportedly said she had been unaware that photography on archaeological sites without a permit was forbidden.
Mohammad...claimed that six employees came to watch the 15-minute shoot at the ancient burial ground without requesting that they stop.
Mostafa Waziri, secretary-general of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, told the Al-Watan news outlet that any person who “disrespects” antiquities and Egyptian civilization would be punished.

That’s just a tourist photo in the West. Very tame by Western standards.

A bit on the chunky side. I’m holding out for the
priestess photo shoots from Knossos.
