These are known as the Abu Simbel temples. From Wikipedia : "The complex was relocated in its entirety in 1968, on an artificial hill made from a domed structure, high above theAswan High Dam reservoir. The relocation of the temples was necessary to prevent their being submerged during the creation of Lake Nasser, the massive artificial water reservoir formed after the building of the Aswan High Dam on theNileRiver."
