Start the tour to scout Abu Simbel temples,
for around 3000 years both temples were hidden under the desert
sand , Later they were discovered in 1813, and explored in 1817 by the Italian
explorer Battista Giovanni, But unfortunately in 1960, when president Nasser
decided to build the High dam in Aswan, the 2 temples were threaten by
the Rising water of the River Nile behind the high dam, but by the help of
Egyptian government and UNESCO, the both temples were moved on upper level to
avoid the rising water of the Nile.it was a really recondite work, because the
2 temples in Abu Simbel were not built by stones, but were cut inside 2
mountains in the village, this means that to save the 2 temples, the workers
had to cut the mountain in pieces, giving each piece a number, then building it
again on an upper level using the original old stones with the numbers given to
them, It was looking like puzzle games but in very big size and with very heavy
stones, Ramses II built the temple mostly to honor himself, not to honor the
gods & may be that is why he choose a far area to build the temple, so it
is so far also for the priests inside Abu Simbel temple there is a mural
depicting his famous victory at Qadesh battle where his army defeated his
enemies.
On the north of Ramses temple, the Nefertrai Temple which was
built by Ramses II to his favorite wife queen Nefertai among other 42 wives,
