Cairo image

edit

For what it's worth, the photo of the "Tomb of Barsbay" included in the gallery is almost certainly not the Tomb of Barsbay (see what the real tomb complex looks like here), it's most likely the above-ground part of a cistern building behind the Cairo Citadel (this one, still present today). I'm not sure why the image source says Barsbai, but misidentification of monuments like this does seem to happen with old photos/illustrations. I think I'll let editors here make the call on whether to change the caption accordingly. Cheers, R Prazeres (talk) 14:09, 1 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
