 * ... that Hans-Åke Nordström excavated in Nubia (Temple of Dendur pictured) before the Aswan Dam caused its flooding? Source: Bestock 2015, p. 999: "The UNESCO-sponsored International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia was launched in 1960 to document as much as possible of the archaeological landscape of Lower Nubia ... before the lake rising behind the Aswan High Dam obliterated all traces of the past. ... Nordström ... was a principal member of the team."

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough. Long enough (5x expansion). All paragraphs and the interesting enough hook are cited. AGF on the hook and article generally, as all sources are offline. However, Internet searching and Google Books confirm he is a professor at Uppsala, and was involved in Nubia excavations. NPOV observed throughout. Image suitably licensed for main page. QPQ review done. AGF on close paraphrasing, copyright and plagiarism, but editor has a good track record at DYK. Edwardx (talk) 09:16, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
