Egypt
Restoring Nubia's monuments
http://www.algomhuria.net.eg/gazette/2/
"As part of the international campaign to rescue Nubia's monuments, a large project that includes the rebuilding of the Temple of Thutmose III in Suboe' Valley, is being carried out by the Fund for Nubian Archaeology, affiliated to the Ministry of Culture. The project also includes using solar energy to light up the temples at Suboe'.The Permanent Committee for Egyptian Antiquities is to photocopy all the documents about Nubia and its archaeology before the building of the Aswan High Dam, to be displayed in the Documents Centre at the Nubia Museum. 'They include documents in Arabic, English and French, dating from 1900 to 1970,' said Mohamed Abdel Fatah, head of the Museums Sector, adding that the documents are also about the Nubian people, not just the area's ancient monuments. Abdel Fatah noted that the documents included maps of Aswan printed in 1927 and a map of Al-Kubania Valley, where the remains of a prehistoric man was found. Some 50,000 maps have been borrowed from the storehouses at Aswan and Abu Simbel, as well as archive photographs, books and manuscripts, said Hussein A. Hussein, head of the Fund for Nubian Archaeology."
