Once again, ancient Egypt inspires and influences the modern world. As a passionate lover of ancient Egyptian history, I have also found that the history of Egyptology itself equally as fascinating. This is a prime example of Egyptology at its finest.
@@ttestates1 I guess it's a testament to ancient Egypt and it reflects the rich history of the ancients. That said, individual stories go beyond the link to the ancients and are fascinating in their own right. People like Belzoni, Flinders Petrie or Carter, just to name a few, have helped to enrich the history of Egyptology. For Belzoni to uncover Abu Simbel and unwittingly uncovered Ramses II's father's tomb of Seti I amazes me. Or, Flinders Petrie, who set the standards for modern archaeology As an amateur Egyptologist since I was 9, I find Carter particularly interesting. Carter had no formal education in ancient Egypt whatsoever, effectively making him an amateur, strictly speaking. Everything he knew, he taught himself, including how to read hieroglyphics. Like Carter, everything I know about ancient Egypt is self taught. Also, like Carter, I have taught myself how to read hieroglyphics. After decades, I have amassed an impressive library of books and I've read every page. My point is, a degree in Egyptology does not necessarily mean you know more. If anything, a self taught passionate amateur knows just as much, perhaps more, than a person holding a degree. No doubt, you can appreciate what I'm saying with 25 years under your belt.
As a Project Manager, I can only imagine the monster cluster-f*ck of tracking and marking , and moving all the pieces, AND eventual re-assembly. Jesus wept! I can imagine the sleepless nights. YET>>> the satisfaction of completion. Priceless! Thanks, Spark.
The project of recreating the inner temple and the cutting and moving of the interior and exterior pieces of Ramses temple was done by American engineers with a combination of American and Egyptian workmen. That project was funded by Americans under the guidance of Jackie Kennedy Onassis who personally contributed $1 Million to the project. As part of the project , she was able to receive a gift of a small temple from the desert area. That would be flooded. This temple is currently on display at 5he Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.
As an Industrial Engineer, I was legitimately stumped as to how they reconstructed, specifically shaping the new site to place everything. Huge fan of documentaries and this one was absolutely fantastic. Whoever created it, absolutely nailed it. Videos like this is what makes TH-cam great.
This is one that was on the bucket list Seeing it in real life was incredible, it is hard to believe that this was made with the most basic of tools and then to see what was done in modern times is truly fantastic. If you ever get the chance to go I highly recommend this be something you have to see
I've been searching on how they moved the temple and it landed me here. Always wondered how they moved the interior. Amazing! think ancient egyptians would have been impressed which says alot!
Thank you for sharing this video. We never knew this had ever taken place. Had someone just mentioned it without evidence, I would have not believed them at all.
it's amazing, I only learn about it when researching my Egypt trip last year. On another grand scale event, I read that on April 3, Egyptians will be watch the grand parade of the The 22 mummies will be moving from the existing museum to the brand new Grand Egyptian Museum in addition to opening it new capital city, they have been busy!
I glad people cared enough to even try. Bet they learned a lot about respect for the ancient builders. P.s thought.....imagine how many ancient structures lie under the sea from rising flood waters of the past.🤔
Here are my deepest possible appreciation for the herculean efforts to rescue and preserve cultural heritage, and my highest possible respects for the engineers and restoration works coming from different countries! 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
at what point did the semi horn blaring in between each cut scene make it past the editing team..... however this is amazing as heck. i cant believe they actually moved that. im happy they did.
you wont be so happy if i will tell you that only this and the temple of Isis on island Philae (now under water) managed to be moved . the rest of 3000 ancient sites are submerged underwater and lost forever as result of construction of ASUAN dam
The mammoth endeavour of shifting a colossal temple will be remembered as an epitome of indomitable human spirit. A remarkable feat indeed and thanx for the documentary Spark. Kudos from India.
That was epic. It does make you wonder how the Egyptians moved their monster single piece granite statues over hundreds of miles. Including the 1,000 ton granite statue of Ramses that is now in pieces but was single piece ????
The greatest drawback from the Aswan Dam project, has been that the nutrient rich sediments that flowed down the Nile have been stopped,forcing the Egyptian farmers to use chemical fertilizers.
I have visited the new placement of these amazing things , now I’ve seen how they actually did , fantastic, amazing, both the original and the present . Well done to the people and organisations who made it happen , not just this but all the others , so we can still see what the Egyptians actually did , amazing
Aside from the honking semi trucks every few minutes, this is an amazing video. I’m still fathomed how this was thought up, let alone actually accomplished!
Thank you, Heavenly Father for calling these fine men to first participate and now share these massive archaeologic projects with us. These men are the best of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) students and those students application of their knowledge. This is brilliant!
I never knew they moved the entire structure, inside and out! Though I have some idea what a mammoth task it must have been. I visited Borobudur in Indonesia when they were in the middle of the process of restoring it and that too was taken apart in many many '3D jigsaw' pieces.
This documentary clearly demystifies the fact that the ancients were very advanced and had machine tools. They could make these monument with ease..yet modern man struggled to move them and recreat them. A time will soon come that our technology will parallel the technology of the ancients and only then we will really understand how and why these structures were built.
I think this video fails to mention the countless artifacts at other sites that were lost because they were eventually under water. With that said, this was a great monumental-quite literally-feat.
many years ago, when tourists were people who wanted to see things and learn about history i was in Egypt. and saw also Abu Simbel. Don't know if it is still possible now, but back then we were also to see the -behind the temple - , the concrete cupola under which all that is resting. Even before that, i was reading about that UNESCO project ( in a -Reader's Digest) and promised myself, should i ever have the chance to be there,i will want to see it. to bad no electronic cameras those days. and film was expensive and scarce. so i have -only - the memories.and a few photos...
They pretend they used modern equipment to move the monument, but we know they couldn't have done it. It required aliens, but they won't allow themselves to be shown for this video.
The world’s sea level rises ten meters, and the coastal world heritage monuments around the world, including Venice, have to be relocated like Abu Simbel?
Look at the complexity it took in this day and age to move one temple and ppl think they did all this in ancient times with ropes and sticks 🤣🤣they had to have technology back then and this proves it. Imagine what these temples looked like in their prime years when they were first constructed!! Amazing. Humans can achieve amazing things when we work together
The Ark of the Covenant is in Ethiopia where over 800 Jews lives were taken recently for safeguarding the Ark of the Covenant. This is what everything is about regarding what is going on in reality. Until the world can recognise that His Royal Highness Prince Ermias Sahle Selassie Haile Selassie needs to be reconciled and made King in order for Natural Law and the No Harm principle to be applied. The true Jews in Ethiopia need reconciling. Judaism derived from King Bulan a Turkic tribe and this is where the discrepancy is in history and in present day.
Absolute sacrilege. The best idea would have been to provide Egypt with a power station or electricity from somewhere else. Typical short-sightedness of man to simply want to destroy. Power for 100 years maybe - structures 1000's of years old gone forever.
Why didn’t they just use the exact same methods as the ancient Egyptians? They moved them in one piece and they could cut and carve these massive blocks with only copper tools at best not tungsten tip saws.
Congratulations stones saved, and flooded Nubia with its villages, culture, traditions and most importantly the language that we have spoken for thousands of years
Well if it's THIS hard pressed to move 1 temple in this modern day with modern tools, then STOP SAYING it was built by ancient Egyptians who has NOTHING but bronze tools, it was obviously built by pre-dynastic Egyptians NOT from this earth with lost ancient high technology.
I don't know why the decision was made not to attempt to reassemble that fourth statue head. Clearly there are pieces of it that they moved. I'm guessing the argument was to reassemble as it was; shame to not take advantage of an opportunity to restore that piece.
Amazing work, but I pity any alien archeologists who would stumble upon this and get confused between why parts of the temple are thousands of years younger than the rest of it
@@willfakaroni5808 what if only the casing stones were cut and they were storage for river slury so it wouldn't turn to dust and blow back, like a modern land fill? The big cat there I forget how to spell name or more so I think is that
Erm... They struggled to complete tasks achieved 60 years ago, with modern equipment and these same people ask us to believe that these buildings and monuments were created with stone and copper tools thousands of years ago.
That dam should have never been built. a nuclear power planet should have under the UN. Its possible other sites have been completed coved up. I see Egypt as the Garden of Eden and the location of the historical Atlantis. See my videos.

Wow! This was a work of passion among many nations! Beautiful.
Yeah work for pagan gods that at the root is satan. Sad
I always thought about how the heck they moved those super sized statues, thank you Spark for posting this very interesting documnetary, brilliant!
No problem, dave! 😉
they should have left them alone. It’s painful to see them dismantle gods of this magnitude in such manner. The gods won’t forgive.

To think these people just transported an entire mountain side. Mind boggling!
Very quality documentary
Forever trying to erase our history to create a new one
Stop crying and go protect it
My grandfather was part in moveing the monument😁
Wonderful, thank you , one and all.
Simply great
Why was it a problem? The ancient Egyptians made this stuff with copper tools and stone hammers and ropes,
People nowadays are not as tough as before.

These Devils should get some power tools like the ancients did. Still selling the manual Lie.
Didn't think it was possible to move them. Unbelievable 🤔.
The Vatican did. Because a obelisk has everything to do with a christian god
They pretend they used modern equipment to move the monument, but we know they couldn't have done it. It required aliens, but they won't allow themselves to be shown for this video.
@@gbennett58 Sound was demonstrated to be able to move large objects in Tibet
The world’s sea level rises ten meters, and the coastal world heritage monuments around the world, including Venice, have to be relocated like Abu Simbel?
The truck horn every 3 minutes is annoying. And the ancient Egyptians did not use logs to move 100 ton blocks. No wood can withstand that
that type of stone look so soft by the stone hardness standard that they can manually cut and slicing with hand saw with ease.
They probably did this before.. makes me question history
I agree
Could someone find those 67 "thumbs down" people and make them saw through sandstone 8 hours a day for two months please.......?
Who's the say it never been flooded before already smh lol
