Lead in
On July 21, 1970, engineers completed the Aswan Dam in southern Egypt, lasting more than 10 years and costing more than a billion dollars.
The Aswan Dam controls the flow of the Nile River, protecting people living near the banks of the Nile from both floods and drought. It also provides electricity used in homes, schools, businesses, and hospitals throughout Egypt.
Aswan Dam(阿斯旺大坝)
While completing it, many temples are taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were safe from the water. Among these temples, Abu Simbel Temple (阿布辛贝神庙) is the most famous one.
