EMPRESS OF THE NILE: The Daredevil Archaeologist Who Saved Egypt's Ancient Temples from Destruction
In the 1960s, the world's attention was focused on a race against time: the campaign to save a dozen ancient Egyptian temples from drowning. Without the intervention of Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt, the temples--including the Temple of Dendur, now at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art--would currently be at the bottom of a vast reservoir. Photos.
