The Aswan High Dam

Everything Everywhere Daily
About
In 1970, one of the world’s largest infrastructure projects opened in Aswan, Egypt. 
It was a dam that harnessed the power of the Nile River, the longest river in the world. 
The dam provided electricity for half of the country and tamed the annual floods, a regular feature on the Nile. 
But the project wasn’t without its drawbacks. It became a point of contention during the Cold War, displaced thousands, and destroyed an unknown number of ancient artifacts.
Learn more about the Aswan High Dam on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
