Facts
Why It Is OpenReference works disagree by three years: the cited engineering profile states construction ran 1960 to 1968, while many standard references give completion as 1970 and the formal dedication as January 1971. The disagreement is definitional, whether completion means the end of construction, the last generator entering service, or the dedication, and the atlas cannot settle a definitional dispute by picking a favorite. 1 What Would Resolve ThisAn authoritative engineering history of the dam, or the Egyptian ministry record, stating which event each date names: end of rock-fill construction 1968, final turbine commissioning 1970, formal dedication January 1971. Encyclopaedia Britannica likely settles the framing but is bot-blocked; the fetch is queued for the owner (this file, part B). 1 Discipline Needed Question Kind Question Status Reader Facing Open Question
