Groundwater rising, at present, has introduced severe deterioration ancient earthen mud-brick architecture tombs Aswan city (Egypt). However, monitoring influence anthropogenic environmental aspects on issues not yet been considered. To this end, scope pilot study is investigate structural stability weathering vulnerability building materials structures Cemetery before restoration labor. This achieved using an integration remote sensing (Landsat 8 SRTM-DEM) hydrogeological datasets Geographic Information System (GIS), along with physicochemical mineralogical analysis various (the bearing soil, wall plasters, Muqarnas) from affected cemeteries. morphological compositions collected samples analytically examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) scanning electron microscopy energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) CT scan. Moreover, geotechnical studies conducted for perched soil water subsoil, including physiochemical composition heavy metals Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). results multitemporal land use/land cover (LULC) changes displayed growth appearance wetlands near area over last decades, boosting geo-environmental risks rising. Furthermore, detailed analytical investigations foundations showed that unique substantial Islamic archaeological site shows weak properties, it highly sensitive natural stressors. innovative methodology can produce novel recommendations Ministry Antiquities Heritage Commission Saudi Arabia adequate monuments.
