Why was he abu simbel temple moved to higher goround?

The Abu Simbel temples were moved to higher ground to prevent their submersion due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam in the 1960s. The dam created Lake Nasser, which threatened to flood the ancient sites. To preserve these significant archaeological treasures, an international campaign led by UNESCO relocated the temples, carefully dismantling and reconstructing them at a higher elevation. This effort ensured their protection and continued accessibility for future generations.
