- It should be noted here that three archeologists, in
their efforts to save Abu Simbel from the High
Dam inundation, have inadvertently unearthed a
good number of Churches. In some of them, they
found the names of bishops engraved on stelae
after the fashion of the Pharaohs.
Professor Plumley of Cambridge University
declared that the history of Christian Nubia will
have to be re-written when the newly-found
records are read and translated.
