The temple was carved from a mountain of solid rock in the 13th Century BC along the west bank of the Nile River. When Nile flood waters resulting from building of the Aswan High Dam threatened to submerge the temple in the 1960s, it was cut in big pieces and then reconstructed on new site that was higher and farther back from the river. That remarkable move required five years, 3000 workers and $42 million.
