Watch the full episode: www.ricksteves... Built by Ramses II in about 1250 BC, the temple of Abu Simbel is one of Egypt's must-sees. About 50 years ago, it was at risk of being submerged by the creation of Lake Nasser. Thanks to a heroic effort, the ancient temple was cut into huge blocks and moved to the location where it stands today.

A much older cousin, a paleontology instructor at SMU, spent a year at the Abu Simbel site, assisting in the global effort to save this ancient complex from drowning from the waters of the under-construction Aswan High Dam. I remember looking at some of the photos he took - incredible would be an understatement! This was a UNESCO undertaking - 100 countries contributed in various ways to make this a reality; what I didn't realize was that this was the very first UNESCO World Heritage Site in existence! Of all my relatives, he was one of my favorites, 'cause of his sense of humor and his modest ways! Those of you who are interested, there is a book by David Roberts titled Egypt Yesterday and Today - in it are many of his illustrations. It's worth a look!

It's a shame so much history was lost by the dam. It's incredible that they were able to move it, but if we're not careful future archaeologists will be very confused by its location.

The drive to this place from Aswan is unbelievable. Several hours each way, and there is NOTHING in between except for sand, a few rocks, and a snack bar sort of place. Before booking a tour, make very sure you want to see this. Once you get close to the temple, things get better. There is a fleet of boats to take you to the complex, and there are tons of souvenir vendors by the dock. At the complex itself, there is an outdoor cafe with shade.

@jimparsons6803 3 года назад

Liked the clip. ... about folks who really were large and in charge. Which for me brings up an observation that the BCE Egyptian types were a sort of a feudal society with the triangular shaped society which looks like some of the pictures I've seen when I used to go down to the local Public Library to poke around in some of those books back when I was much, much younger. What are the odds?

I was supposed to go to Egypt in April after more than 10 years of dreaming about it. I could not go but at least we got this episode this year

@thebubbacontinuum2645 2 года назад

Do the Nile cruise if you can afford it. The boats are clean and pleasant, the food is good, and frankly, the boats insulate people from the dirty towns.

We see it as art that we can cut up resemble and stick back together with cement. The eqyptions did not see it as art it had to be made from one peice of stone due to some relegion we dont understand. Cutting it destroyed it in an egyptions belief
