In 1959 the governments of the  United Arab Republic   and   Sudan  turned to UNESCO for help in salvaging the ancient sites and monuments of  Egyptian Nubia . The sites were threatened with destruction by the  great lake  which would build up behind the new dam at  Aswān . UNESCO responded with an appeal to the international  community  for assistance, and the result was the largest archaeological rescue operation in  history . Aswān, Egypt: Abu Simbel NOTHING IS ART IF IT DOESN’T COME FROM NATURE.
