  Pyramid* of Khufu
  The Pyramid of Khufu is the tallest in the world, although it is slowly becoming shorter due to weathering. The pyramid has a square base with a length of more than 230 meters per side. Built around 2560 BC out of more than two million stone blocks, the pyramid sat on the west side of the Nile, near present-day Cairo, Egypt. It was constructed as Pharaoh Khufus tomb, which held everything he would need in the afterlife. The four sides of the pyramid are shaped like triangles, symbolizing the suns rays shining down from its pointed top.
  Temple of Kukulkan
  The Temple of Kukulkanlies in Chichen Itza, in south-eastern Mexico. As a step pyramid, it is made of square terraces*, starting from a base that is 53.3 meters on each side. It is constructed of stone and is 24 meters tall plus a six-meter tall temple on its flat top. The pyramid was built between 1050 and 1300 AD to honor the snake god Kukulkan. The design symbolizes the Mayan calendar: with 91 steps on each side and the top, there are 365 steps in total, representing the 365 days of the year.

  An example of this took place in 1959, when the construction of the Aswan High Dam* endangered8 the future of Egypts* precious Abu Simbel* temples. The proposed construction project would enable this North African country to control the annual flooding of the Nile*. However, an artificial lake would be formed as a result, and the Abu Simbel temples would then be submerged*. Though Egypt has an abundance9 of historic sites, many felt that no part of its rich and unique cultural heritage should be lost. After a UNESCO*-led campaign10, it was concluded11 that the temples would be transported12 to higher ground. In order to accomplish this challenging task, the Egyptian government decided that the sacred structures would be cut into 16,000 huge blocks. These were then moved and reassembled at a site situated13 65 meters higher up and 180 meters further back from the water. In the end, the temples were saved from being drowned14, and Egypt was spared15 the loss of these historic treasures.
  Taiwans southern port city of Kaohsiung once faced a similar problem and also had to figure out how a priceless16 old structure could be preserved. In the early 2000s,
