The great temple facade at Abu Simbel

The great temple facade at Abu Simbel:

Abu Simbel temples built by the king Ramses II at Nubia the southern border of Egypt during the 19th dynasty New Kingdom about 1290 BC.
The great temple dedicated to the four different Gods in ancient Egypt Ra-hor-akht, Ramses II, Amen and Petah.
The small temple dedicated to his wife the queen Nefertari and the Goddess Hathur the goddess of life

1960-1971 the High Dam built in Egypt and the Nile inundation came to form Nasser lake behind the High Dam and covered the two temples.

Egypt appealed for international help, the plane came to cut the two temples out of the solid rock and rebuilt them directly sixty meters high above the original site under supervisor of UNESCO, started in 1960 finished in 1968.
