World Heritage DayThe event that aroused particular international concernwas the decision to build the Aswan High Dam in Egypt,which would have flooded the valley containing the Abu
Simbel temples , a treasure of ancient Egyptiancivilization.
In 1959, after an appeal from the governments of Egyptand Sudan, UNESCO launched an international
safeguarding campaign. Archaeological research in theareas to be flooded was accelerated. Above all, the AbuSimbel and Philae temples were dismantled, moved to dryground and reassembled.

that sites on the List are a magnet for internationalcooperation and may thus receive financial assistance for
heritage conservation projects from a variety of sources.
