One of the examples of transportation of a building on tracks outside the US is the Harakhty and Amon Temple’s relocation in Egypt Amada (Figure 28, 29). Due to the rising dam waters, it was moved to its new location, where was at a distance of 2.5 km and at a height of 65 m., and was carried on tracks and mounted there by utilizing hydraulic system between 1964-75 (Wilkinson, 2000).

During the transportation process, after the temple was placed on the reinforced concrete foundation beams, its circumference was strapped tightly. Pulling on tracks was carried out with the help of beams passing through the monument, and through two sideways of it (Figure 30) (Ahunbay, 1996).
