No, I did not realize what was lost because of these dams. Truly heartbreaking. My great great grandfather led pioneers into Arizona territory. They were caught in a box canyon in a flash flood. They disassembled the wagons and with pullies moved the animals, wagons and people up the cliffs. It was known as mormon canyon and was inundated by Lake Mead. Even that small landmark created a huge ruckus. It's hard to comprehend how china and Egypt did what they did without an endless outcry.
You are a woodworker/cabinet maker or a museum curator? Great admiration for all 3
Not sure a curator would sit well given my disdain for the Smithsonian, British museum, UNESCO etc - thieves responsible for hiding history from us... I don't say that lightly...there are countless examples.
