  We propose a resonance damping mechanism to explain the disappearance of the
peaks around the position of the resonances higher than the $\Delta$ resonance
in the nuclear photoabsorption. This phenomenon is understood by taking into
account the cooperative effect of the collision broadening of $\Delta$ and
$N^{*}$, the pion distortion and the interference in the two-pion
photoproduction processes in the nuclear medium.
