The two temples you are about to visit are located on the west bank of Lake Nasser. They were originally located in a lower area where they were buried under the sand and also were doomed to be drowned under the Nile water.
In order to save these Ancient treasures, the decision was made to relocate them. Therefore, the temples were entirely relocated in 1968: dislocated and reassembled in a higher area to save them from flooding.
These massive constructions are a part of the Ramesses II building program throughout Egypt and Nubia. Indeed Nubia was a valuable region for Egyptians because of its gold and other precious goods.
