at abu simbel there are 2 temples dedicated to ramses ll. the amazing thing about the abu simbel temples is that they were disassembled, moved and reassembled. the lake behind the aswan dam would have hidden them forever so the temple was moved block by block 65 meters higher and 235 meters inland. they were cut into 807 blocks. this took place between 1964 and 1968 as the dam was being built.
