Read the passage and choose the best answer.
In 1959, the government of Egypt was working on a plan to build a dam on the river Nile. It
was called the Aswan Dam, and it was intended to generate electricity and allow the river water
to be used for agriculture. There was one big problem with the plan, though. The dam would
flood a nearby valley that contained ancient Egyptian treasures, including two enormous stone
temples.

It can be difficult for governments to choose culture and history over economics. However, if
countries always made decisions like this, the majority of the world's ancient sites would end up
being destroyed. Luckily, UNESCO stepped in. They formed a committee that tried to convince
Egypt to protect its ancient treasures. With support from many countries, they were finally
successful. The huge temples were carefully removed from their original site and moved to a safe
location so that the dam could be built.

After their success in saving the temples in Egypt, UNESCO went on to save more sites around
the world. They protected lagoons in Venice, ruins in Pakistan, and temples in Indonesia. With
industrialization changing the world rapidly, there were many sites that needed to be saved.
Eventually, UNESCO formed the World Heritage Organization to protect important natural and
historic sites wherever it was necessary.

By now, the World Heritage Organization has protected hundreds of sites ranging from beautiful
natural islands to buildings in large cities and ancient ruins. If you're able to visit any of the
many protected sites, you'll agree it was worth it.
