Abu Simbel was carved under Ramses II in the 13th century BC and was physically relocated brick‑by‑brick in the 1960s to prevent submersion by Lake Nasser after the Aswan High Dam.
The relocation is an early large‑scale conservation project; visitors should avoid touching reliefs and follow marked paths to limit erosion and wear.
