Aged 78, he is one of the workers with first-hand experience of this international adventure: the rescue of the Ramesses II temples in Egypt from the rising waters of the Aswan High Dam.
A green hand from the marble (大理石) caves of Carrara who helped cut the temples of Abu Simbel into blocks, Paoli attended the event celebrating the 50th anniversary (周年纪念) of the adventure, hosted by Salini Impregilo and the Museo Egizio (Egyptian Museum) in Turin, Italy.
On February 4, 2019, the rescue of the world heritage site was celebrated at an event held at the museum with Chief Executive Pietro Salini, Museo Egizio Director Christian Greco and UNESCO Regional Director Ana Luiza Thompson-Flores attending.
“Taking down two temples piece by piece, putting them back together elsewhere and perfectly rebuilding the landforms (地貌) around them was a great idea and showed us a new frontier (领域) for cultural protection,” said Salini. “It also showed the world that progress did not have to come at the expense of a world heritage site. Today, 50 years after this fantastic project, we remember with great admiration all those people from different countries and cultures, who, with their unique skills, achieved this impressive achievement for future generations.”
The work of moving the temples, in which Impregilo took part, was done with the support of 50 countries and some 2, 000 people in little more than 1,100 days.
This unique project is also being celebrated with the publication of “Nubiana”, a multimedia tome (多媒体巨著) that tells the story of the temples built more than 3,000 years ago in honour of the great Pharaoh Ramesses II. It also describes the engineering challenges of their rescue by international teamwork.

Blossom of Youth

I was so excited to take a vacation in Florida for the first time. My sister had invited my daughters and me to go with her family and she even lent me her new, expensive bathing suit (泳衣). It was so comfortable.
The first morning we were there, I put on that bathing suit and we headed to the beach. We played in the water, enjoying the views and sounds of the ocean: the waves, the wind, fish, white sand, seashells, and whatever else drew our attention. I was excited by it all while I was swimming in the cool ocean water.
Suddenly, I felt a deep pain (疼痛) in my right arm. My sister saw my face and rushed to my side. I lifted my arm to find huge blisters (水泡) that circled the entire length of my arm. I had been bitten by a jellyfish (水母).
My sister said, “We have to head back to our room now. I will put some ointment (药膏) on the blisters so that we don't have to rush to the hospital.”
I didn't want to frighten anyone, so I came out of the water quietly with my arm hanging at my side. We had forgotten our towels that morning in a hurry to get to the ocean, so I shook as we walked in silence.
I began to notice people looking at me and pointing me out. It seemed as if the entire beach was laughing at me.
Then I looked down and saw why. That beautiful, expensive bathing suit was completely transparent (透明的) now that it was wet. I became the center of the beach. However, I had no towel for the long travel back to the room!

To get back to the room, I had to walk past a swimming pool.
