The Sunken History of the Aswan Dam: What happens when a newly independent government decides it is in the best interests of the people to engineer a dam that will tame a river as mighty as the Nile? On Intrigued Mind we discover the story of the Aswan High Dam, its reservoir Lake Nasser, and UNESCOs race against time to save priceless ancient treasures from a watery grave. Learn about the Nubian people who gave up their homes and their cultural identity in Egypt’s race towards modernity.
