Rememere the effort to move Abu Simbel from the Valley of the Kings when Egypt built the Aswan dam? It could be done if they have a mind to do it.

It could be done if they have a mind to do it.

Go to the poster's FR page and read about Cyrus the Great.

I can see why they would not only be ambivalent about the archeaological site, but would also actively participate in wiping out any memory of that dynasty. It represents everything the current rulers of Iran are against and everything they fear.

Abu Simbel's move was a UN effort (from when the UN had some value) and was not initiated or paid for by the Egyptian gov't.

Plenty of other archeological sites could not be moved.
