The new Aswan Dam could soon submerge completely many magnificent monuments in Egypt. A film of the threatened area was shown recently in Panorama, and archaeologists discussed the resultant loss to mankind. Today an appeal for the preservation of these great monuments is being launched at a ceremony at UNESCO House in Paris. By means of Eurovision, the BBC has made a recording of this ceremony.
