* The Interval SAVED FROM THE NILE

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

The 3,000-year-old Egyptian temples of Abu simbel, threatened with drowning by the waters of the Nile rising behind the Aswan High Dam. are now completely rebuilt on high ground in the Nubian Desert.
The story of the unique rescue operation which secured these dramatic monuments for posterity is told, with on-the-spot recordings, by GODFREY TALBOT and some of those who carried out this gigantic task.
