For millennia before the completion of the Aswan High Dam in 1970, the Nile flooded yearly, inundating acres of land, often up to the edge of the Giza Plateau. �??This view shows a rower northeast of the Great Pyramid,�?� says Peter Der Manuelian, the Tufts lecturer who heads the Giza Archives Project at Boston�??s Museum of Fine Arts. �??Perhaps he is rowing over his own fields.�?� Now that the annual inundation has ceased, �??this image is a rarity from a bygone era, and the placid floodwaters cover an area that is choked today with roads and high-rise apartment buildings.�?�
