阿斯旺水壩地處于埃及境內(nèi)的尼羅(Nile)河干流上，在首都開(kāi)羅以南約800km的阿斯旺城附近，是一座大型綜合利用水利樞紐工程，具有灌溉、發(fā)電、防洪、航運(yùn)、旅游、水產(chǎn)等多種效益。pre-reading

面向尼羅河的拉美西斯二世神廟，堪稱眾多埃及神廟中最富想象力的一座。神廟建于3300年前——確切地說(shuō)是“開(kāi)鑿”，因?yàn)檎駨R不是土石所建，而是在山巖中雕鑿而出，它本身就是一座巨大而精美的雕刻作品。pre-reading

然而，縱使尼羅河孕育了埃及文明。但不可否認(rèn)，洪水的泛濫也給沿岸人民的生命財(cái)產(chǎn)造成極大的損失。因此政府決定修建大壩，但大壩的修建會(huì)毀壞沿岸的文化遺跡，這一做法引起極大的爭(zhēng)議1964-1968年，為了免遭因建造阿斯旺大壩而上漲的尼羅河水淹沒(méi)，在聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織主持下，神廟被切割成2000多塊，分別編號(hào)，在距離原址200多米的地方拼合還原，并建造了一座假山來(lái)覆蓋它。
