One of the project's great side-effects is the creation of the World Heritage Center. http://whc.unesco.org/
It's online list of sites (created and nominated) by country is a resource and catalog of the cultural 'wonders of the world'. http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/
This was a really interesting story, and I'm interested in hearing even more detail about how they cut the temple into pieces. What machinery did they use to do the cutting? How much material was lost by this method? How did they make sure the pieces fit back together again?
Is there a book that goes into this detail (or any books about similar projects)?
Here you go ... take your pick. (Worldcat does fast, easy searches. Has all the details you need to find something ... and will even tell you the nearest library you can borrow it from.)
To me this was one of the most interesting things to visit in Egypt. The pyramids were older and less refined as this structure and the complexity of moving that temple was a breathtaking endeavour!
