Original Note:
‪Abu Simbel was relocated in its entirety in 1968 to higher ground to avoid it being submerged by Lake Nasser, the Aswan Dam reservoir. This mammoth effort from UNESCO took 4 years, involving hydrologists, engineers, archaeologists, and architects to preserve history. https://whc.unesco.org/en/story-abu-simbel/#:~:text=More%20than%20a%20thousand%20blocks,location%20on%2022%20September%201968. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Simbel
