Focus on moving slowly and allowing students to notice details and ask questions about the images. It's not about guessing or jumping to hypotheses! It's about wondering. (I recommend setting the Google Slides to *fullscreen* first!)

You are looking at an ancient statue of the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II being reassembled in the 1968. The statue along with two entire temples was cut apart into 20-30 ton blocks, then lifted onto an artificial hill, and then rebuilt to keep it all from being flooded when Egypt built the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River. This dam created Lake Nasser which would have submerged the entire Abu Simbel complex.
