florian - Thank you for identifying the Slapy dam on the Czechoslovakia stamp posted above. In 1964 the first construction stage of the Aswan High Dam and hydroelectric power station on the Nile River was completed and the reservoir began filling; the dam, as Sad al-'Aali, was finally completed on July 21, 1970. Here is an image of a stamp, entitled "Electricity," depicting the Aswan High Dam, a transmission line tower, smokestacks, and an illuminated building, printed by photogravure, and issued by Egypt (United Arab Republic) on July 23, 1964, Scott No. 628, SG No. 812. - nethryk  |
