Templo de Debod
Aswan High Dam
With the construction of the Aswan
High Dam in Egypt between 1960 and 1970, many historical
monuments were in danger of being flooded. Spanish engineers
helped the Egyptian government to move these monuments
to safe areas. In 1968 
Egypt
donated one of these monuments, the Templo de Debod,
to Spain in recognition of their support.
