World Heritage Sites
- Mary :
- Which World Heritage site do you like the best?
- Ken :
- It’s hard to pick just one, but I would probably go with Abu Simbel, which is in Egypt. Did you know that it was almost underwater?
- Mary :
- Really? Why was that?
- Ken :
- It was all because of the construction of a dam which would have flooded the whole area.
- Mary :
- So, how was it saved?
- Ken :
- Under the direction of UNESCO, they cut the temples into pieces, moved them to a higher ground, and reassembled them.
- Mary :
- Wow, what a fantastic project! That’s amazing.
