General Specific introduction description/ identification What is the problem? (How is the problem introduced?) the problem the solution the significance introduction description Read for structure What is the solution? (How is the solution achieved/reached?) A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics. The group asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the international community. Experts investigated the issue, conducted several tests, and then made a proposal for how the buildings could be saved. Finally, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960. The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world. Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were safe from the water. In 1961, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers rescued 22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million to the project. What is the solution? A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics.
