The article from the Deseret News archives discusses the construction of the Aswan High Dam in Egypt, which began in 1960. This monumental project was aimed at controlling the Nile River's flooding, providing water for irrigation, and generating hydroelectric power. The dam, located in southern Egypt near the border with Sudan, was a significant engineering feat involving thousands of workers and international cooperation, particularly from the Soviet Union which provided technical and financial assistance. The construction not only promised to revolutionize Egypt's agriculture by allowing for year-round farming but also had profound social, economic, and environmental impacts, including the displacement of over 100,000 Nubian people and the submersion of ancient archaeological sites. The article highlights the dam's role in Egypt's development plans and its lasting effects on the region's landscape and population.
