Why did so many people and organizations work together to support the once-protested project
Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.
“Twenty years, fifty countries, one mission...”
Solution I: To build a new dam.
The old problem: How to control floods, produce electricity and supply water to more farmers in the area
The new problem: How to find and keep the balance
Solution II: To move the temple.
Will there be any new problems after the move
Tourism and Preservation:
While the relocation successfully preserved the temples, their new location has become a major tourist attraction. The increase in tourism can contribute to wear and tear, leading to a need for enhanced conservation efforts. Balancing tourism with preservation continues to be a challenge.

for reference
To address the challenge of balancing tourism and preservation at Abu Simbel after its relocation, several key strategies have been implemented:
Limiting Tourist Numbers: Authorities have introduced daily caps on the number of visitors allowed into the temple. By controlling foot traffic, they minimize wear and tear on the delicate structures, reducing the risk of physical damage.
Enhanced Monitoring and Maintenance: Regular inspections are conducted using modern technologies such as laser scanning and 3D modeling to detect any deterioration early. This ensures that any damage can be addressed swiftly, preventing long-term structural issues.
Visitor Behavior Management: Educating tourists about the importance of preserving cultural heritage is crucial. Clear guidelines are in place to discourage behaviors like touching the temple walls, which can lead to erosion of carvings and inscriptions.
Digital Exhibits and Virtual Tours: To alleviate the pressure of in-person visits, virtual tours and digital exhibits offer an alternative way for people to explore the temple. This approach not only reduces foot traffic but also makes the experience accessible to a wider audience who cannot visit in person.
These solutions help maintain a balance between tourism and the conservation of the site, ensuring the preservation of Abu Simbel for future generations.
Retell the passage by the timeline；
