About this event

"Empress of the Nile" by Lynne Olson tells the story of Christiane Desroches-Noble court, a French archaeologist who led the international effort to save ancient Egyptian temples from the rising waters of the Aswan Dam in the 1960s. The book highlights her daring and determination in a field dominated by men, showcasing her role in preserving these historical sites, including the Temple of Dendur, now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
