Jackie Kennedy & Abu Simbel

Jacqueline KennedyIn the 1960s the dramatic, ancient Pharaonic temple Abu Simbel was  threatened by the rising waters blocked by the new Aswan High Dam. First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy provided crucial support for the mammoth rescue project. Without her help, Abu Simbel might have been lost. Times change, leaders come and go, but some acts of support and generosity are remembered through the decades. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy loved Egypt, and Egypt still loves her.
