Abo Simbel is a town in Egypt just south of Aswan. Ramses II built a temple here for himself and another one for his favourite wife, Nefertari. He had 64 wives and 203 children but that's another story. When the high dam was built in Aswan and lake Laser was created the temple was submerged. So...they moved it to the top of the cliff. It's an incredible site.
