The salvage of the Abu Simbel temples began in 1964 by a multinational team of archeologists, engineers and skilled heavy equipment operators working together under the UNESCO banner; it cost some US$40 million at the time (equal to $300 million in 2017 dollars). Between 1964 and 1968, the entire site was carefully cut into large blocks (up to 30 tons, averaging 20 tons), dismantled, lifted and reassembled in a new location 65 metres higher and 200 metres back from the river, in one of the greatest challenges of archaeological engineering in history. Строительство плотины началось в 1960 году. Процесс переноса памятника происходил с 1964 по 1968 год. Храмы были разрезаны на блоки весом до 30 тонн (в среднем 20 тонн), перенесены на новое место и собраны заново. Все работы были осуществлены силами советских[источник не указан 618 дней] специалистов и иностранных инженеров при информационной поддержке ЮНЕСКО. Абу-Симбел
