Abu Simbel Temples
These ancient temples are located in southern Egypt. It is believed that they were built between the years of 1264BC and finished in the year of 1244BC.
They were created to impress Egypt's southern neighbor's and to reinforce the statues of Egyptian religion.
Later when they were abandoned by the 6th century they were already barried in sand. They wernt discovered until 1813 when Swiss orientologists Jean-Louis Burckhardt found the top od the building. He told an Italian explorer who managed to dig out the entrance after two attempts in 1817. When he got in he stole anything he thought would be worth something.
