Temple of Ramses II

To reiterate a question in class, how in the world did engineers move the Temple of Ramses II at Abu Simbel to prevent it from complete submersion?
Here's the answer! Amazing!

Also, here are links to the Prehistoric Aegean documents if you missed grabbing them in class. Remember, if you missed class or forgot to take handouts, they will be available at all times in the APAH file box (left side of teacher desk)
