** What Happens When You Are Asleep? ** Firstly some people may grind their teeth, suck their thumbs, sleep walk, sleep talk, snore, and pedal their legs. It’s all very embarrassing but you don’t have to worry because it’s all part of life and every one does one or two of them. They will grow out of it.

Secondly your body slows down, your mouth stops making saliva, your heart beats slower, and your breathing slows downs.

As well as that when you sleep you can hear what is going on around you. You would be able to hear the alarm clock or, if you’re like my mother, a baby crying. If you hear anything unusual you would instantly wake up.

Finally while you are sleeping you also dream. Dreaming is when your have a long vision in your head while you are asleep. Nobody knows what their dreams mean. Some people sit with tape recorders and notebooks on their bedside tables. I don’t think our dreams mean anything. They are just there to keep us busy while we are asleep. This is what happens when we are asleep.

In the twentieth century, the population in Egypt has expanded rapidly, so dams had to be made on the River Nile to cope with the growing demand for water and electricity. The Aswan High Dam (actually called Sudd el Ali) was constructed between Cairo and Abu Simbel but it dramatically increased flood danger potential. The temples at Abu Simbel were going to be flooded.

Bewteen 1960 and 1970 the operation began. The United Nations Educational and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) helped in providing scientists, architects and basic manpower and machinery to aid in saving the monuments. It was decided to move them.

A survey from ground and air was conducted over the temples and surrounding terrain. The relics inside the temples were removed and their positions marked. An entire map of the inside and outside created for each temple.

The cliff rock above the temple had to be removed so bulldozers were employed. Scaffolding was put in the innter rooms to prevent parts of the temple from collapsing. Then then covered and filled each temple with sand for protection. Saws fitted with special teeth designed to keep them from wearing down were found the most ideal tool for cutting the temples up. They were cut into blocks weighing up to 30 tons, then transported to their new home.

Finally, the process was reversed and the templers were re-erected. Concrete domes were created over each temple to make them seem to still be in a cliff setting. The temples had been saved.
