Abu Simbel Reborn (1968x13)

Ημερομηνία προβολής: Σεπ 21, 1968

Tomorrow the vast temples of Abu Simbel - now safe above the rising waters of the Nile - are to be opened again to the public. The threatened temples were sawn into pieces, transported up the cliff and rebuilt in a five-year operation that used the skills of an international team of archaeologists, engineers, and workmen. Magnus Magnusson, from its new site, tells the story of a unique achievement - the rebirth of Abu Simbel.
