Ancient Egypt

The 3000-year-old temple is one of Ancient Egypt’s most remarkable structures.

However, the surrounding mountain that we see today is a recreation.

In the 1960s, a mighty archaeological effort was put in place to save the site.

Due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam, The Abu Simbel Temple’s original location became submerged, with the temple itself moved to higher ground in a 40-million-dollar project.
