Abstract
تشخيص الحالة الحالية لأعمدة الجرانيت المتبقية وطرق العلاج المقترحة في منطقة ميريت آمون ، أخميم ، مصر                            [AR]
تم استخدام الجرانيت في المسلات والمباني والتماثيل في مصر القديمة ، وتمت دراسة أعمدة الجرانيت باستخدام  [PLM] و [XRD] و XRF]] و [SEM]، وأظهرت نتائج الدراسة أن المياه الأرضية الممزوجة بمياه الصرف الصحي تسببت في تلف  الجرانيت ، و يعتمد الضرر أيضًا على قدرة المياه الأرضية  على الارتفاع من خلال مسام وشقوق الجرانيت نتيجة عوامل التلف السابقة وعند الارتفاع يكون منسوب المياه الجوفية -0. 5 م والنشاط الإشعاعي في الهواء والماء والتربة والصخور وأشعة الشمس في الموقع الأثري له دور مهم في التلف ، بالإضافة إلى النشاط الإشعاعي الناتج عن الاستخدامات في الحياة مما يزيد من تأثير النشاط الإشعاعي المؤثر على تلف الحبيبات المعدنية للجرانيت في الموقع ، والتي تؤدي إلى تسريع عمليات التلف ، كما  تمت دراسة المواد الموصى بها و التي يمكن استخدامها لتقوية  ومعالجة الجرانيت.
 
[EN] Granite was used in obelisks,  buildings, and statues  in ancient Egypt. Granite columns were studied using  [PLM],  [XRD],  [XRF]  and  [SEM].The results of the study showed that the ground water mixed with sewage water caused granite damage, which also depends on the ability of ground water to rise through the pores and cracks of the granite as a result of previous damage factors and rise the ground water level is -0.5 m. The radioactivity in the air, water, soil, rocks and sunlight at the archaeological site has an important role in the damage, in addition to the radioactivity resulting from the uses in life, which increases the effect of the radioactivity affecting the mineral grains of the granite at the study site, which leads to acceleration of deterioration processes. Additionally,  the recommended materials that can be used to consolidate and treat granite were studied.
