 I'd arrived in Egypt, the upper Aswan Dam was built in 1960's and generated electricity, provided reservoir of waters for farms and control flooding along the Nile, the result of rainy season in Ethiopia. Before the dam, heavy floods could decimate the crops, often resulting in famine. The dam gave the Egypt the control over the levels of the Nile downstream, but at a heavy price for many Newbean communities. Down there, other remains¹ of Newbean settlements, dozens of them, it's a home to more than 100 thousand people. And their homes, and fields were swallowed by the rising waters of the lake, entire world of life, the civilization and the culture that have been a thousand of years, swallowed and submerged. The Egyptian authorities relocated many Newbeans to new settlement in the desert, far from the fertile land of the Nile. In the Newbean communities that survived the arrival of the dam, I found Newbeans trying to use their traditions and cultures to carve out their living in Egyptian's fledging tourist industry. They got a crocodile on outside the house. Why the people have the crocodiles outside their house. Those who killed them hung them like this because tourist is used to coming to look at them. As a community, are you scared of the crocodiles? Do they pose a threat to you? I have one in my house, a live crocodile. Sorry? Did you just say you have a live crocodile? I do. Can we see it? Yes, please come in.
