This was especially interesting to me. During those years, I was living “next door” in Libya (‘63-‘73). My father, who had a civil engineering degree, among others, was fascinated by this project, and visited the site whenever able. The Egyptians at the time (and probably still today) were much more advanced as a society than most of their neighbors and placed a high value on both science and history. The museums of Cairo were spectacular in those days…I hope they still are.
Thank you.

Very fascinating post (as usual!)
Great things happen when everyone gets along with each other.
