| MKEG_DC13 Cairo: Life in the Dead city. Children seems to play taws with the dead in Medina Meyed, the central cemetery of Cairo where except the dead, rest some thousands of alive people. Families with many children, homeless, watchmen, as well as immigrants coexist with the sleeping souls and their bones... Some of the grave inhabitants are guardians of their tomb-houses, buriers, housekeepers of the tombs, while others want to live and die near their ancestors. The oldest grave constructions of the most alive cemetery in the world were built by the Mamluks, circa 1250-1517.
