The temples at Abu Simbel, built by Pharaoh Ramses II around 1264 BC, were originally carved into a mountainside in southern Egypt. In the 1960s, they were threatened by the construction of the Aswan High Dam and the subsequent rise of Lake Nasser. To preserve these ancient structures, an international effort led by UNESCO relocated the temples to higher ground, completing the project in 1968. This remarkable engineering feat ensured the survival of the temples, which are now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
