Scope and Contents
"When the High Dam was built in the 1960s, the whole of Lower Nubia was inundated, and its entire population was resettled: fifty thousand to Qasr al-Girba in northern Sudan and an equal number to Kom Ombo." [Kamil Jill, 1993: Aswan and Abu Simbel, History and Guide. The American University in Cairo Press]. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon was working on "The Nile" project and traveled to Africa from March 14, 1961 to March 31, 1961, visiting Egypt.
