Lake Nasser

though some quiet stretches between the rapids are used by ships.

Eventually, the water enters Lake Nasser, which is the second largest human-made lake in the world.

This reservoir was created by the Aswan High Dam and covers more than 500 kilometers of the river's original path.

Below the dam, the river flows for about 8,2 kilometers across a limestone plateau.

However, it also caused problems like lower water quality and the displacement of Nubian people from their homes.

To save historic sites like the Abu Simbel temples from being flooded by the new reservoir, a large international effort was organized.

Many Nubians were forced to move to cities in Egypt and Sudan after their ancestral lands were covered by the water of Lake Nasser.

Late 20th century disagreements and negotiations For most of the 1900s, Egypt and Sudan had more power over the river than the nations to the south.

That dam, the Gurd Dam, can release twice as much water than the Aswan Dam can, right? So if you've got this in your mind, you've got the Blue Nile and the White Nile come together, Khartoum and Sudan, and then there's dams in Sudan, and then it goes down to the Aswan Dam down in Egypt.

And that is, if you release more than Lake Nasser and Aswan Dam can take, you're going to knock that one down after having knocked down all of the Sudanese, the dams in Sudan, right? Now, what's happening now, let me tell you how this hydraulic warfare can play out and has played out in the past in history.

They want to build now.

Now there was a big information war in Ethiopia that the that this this multibillion dollar dam, the GERD dam was being built with bonds raised by Ethiopians know yeah sixty percent of the country has no electricity and so

I would fill those reservoirs up.

And at some point, when the waters fill and Lake Nassar's filled up, I would release those dams.

I would build those dams so that they can release enough water without destroying the dams in Ethiopia, because I would want to keep those, because I'm going to take Ethiopia too, right? And I would release all that water down the Blue Nile, take out as one either with airstrikes or with just topping it with overflow right because if overflow is going to go anyway and and then that's going to take out Cairo that's going to take out all that farmland all down there famine instantly right now Egypt's already importing huge amounts of wheat and they've been getting it from Ukraine Russia which is obviously a problem with the Turkish Strait now routes and resources right so they um now just think about that if you were to Do the slow game, which is the way you should do this sort of war.

It's a process war.

They can release twice as much water from Gerd Dam than Aswan can release.

So think about it.

So if you've got a bunch of reservoirs, let's say at least four in Ethiopia – That you just all release at once and just flood, especially when you do it when Lake Nassar is at its highest down there by Aswan and just top Aswan, just topping it.

You know, the cascades happen.

All of that life-giving silt, 130 million tons of volcanic rock dust and jungle compost every single year never reaches the floodplains of Lower Egypt anymore.

It just settles to the dark bottom of Lake Nasser, slowly filling up the reservoir.

So the farmers were immediately cut off from their annual delivery of free, perfect fertilizer.

Yes.

It flows from south to north into Egypt.

into Lake Nasser, the Aswan Dam, the old dam and the new dam, and then down to Cairo and then down to the Nile Delta, the biblical land of Goshen towards Alexandria.

Cairo, Alexandria, these are huge cities utterly dependent on the Nile.

The agricultural produce, Egypt's barely able to feed itself, but it is desperately reliant, desperately reliant on two things.

Well, guess what? You can't.

Restricted access to archeological zones, like Lake Nasser.

Lake Nasser is governed by the antiquities protection law, all to prevent looting, damage, or disturbance.

They are protecting against us? They think that we're gonna go in there and damage it? Damaging it.

Who's the one that actually damaged over 1,000 sites? Who destroyed it all with a massive amount of water in the 1960s and 1970s? Who did this? Was it us?

And we know this, a dam is not what we thought it was.

It's literally a destruction project.

Hundreds of cemeteries were flooded these contained invaluable artifacts like pottery of course nobody cares about the pottery anymore we don't want to see it it's all fake and it was made in some warehouse jewelry and human remains we know they had texts they found tablets and they found the nephilim all buried in this location again go watch episode 113 after this you'll understand exactly why i keep saying six fingers and six toes one thousand sites currently underwater in ancient egypt i can't get over this what was submerged a massive city is submerged the city of aniba sitting in the heart of the region that is flooded by lake nasser where they just gave it all away a necropolis a massive cemetery with rock-cut tombs for egyptian viceroys and local nubian elites the nephilim stretching over a kilometer a massive burial site, again submerging it all, submerging 50 acres and the entire city.

They had to move it out when Dina started to flood.

There are cruises on Lake Nasser, which is just across the high dam in Aswan.

So if you were to do a cruise from Luxor to Aswan, you would be on for four nights.

And then you would do from Aswan to Abu Simbel.

That is another four nights on Lake Nasser.

Very, very few things on Lake Nasser.

If anybody is going for stargazing, anything like that, it has got to be probably the most perfect place to do that because it is black at night and you can see a hundred shooting stars a night.

I, I, I had never seen anything like it.
