Abu Simbel is not just one of the most beautiful temples in Egypt but is also symbolic of the vast enterprise undertaken to save the 14 temples of Nubia that were threatened by the rising waters of Lake Nasser. Despite the problems, sheer determination and the wonders of technology combined to achieve one of the most incredible feats of dismantling and reconstruction ever undertaken by archaeologists, thus saving the temple and perpetuating its memory throughout the centuries.
