Famous buildings are
Expedia's NeoMan project has helped viewers reverse the past, to the original beauty of historic buildings that seem to have "died" after hundreds of years.
Countries like Greece, Italy, Egypt and Mexico are famous for their impressive historical works, which are known to the world. However, sadly, many works have been damaged or destroyed after hundreds to thousands of years. Until now, what remains is only the remnants of a glorious time.
Expedia NeoMan project, implemented by Maja Wrońska and Przemek Sobiecki, has helped viewers go back in time and explore architecture through digital images, restoring its original beauty. With 3D technology, the team was able to recreate 6 famous historical buildings that we have little chance to admire.
- Greek
Back in the past, this temple used to have a golden statue of the goddess Athena - the god of wisdom and crafts. Located on the top of the Acropolis hill, the Parthenon temple is extremely impressive. In 1687, it was destroyed during the Greek-Turkish War. Now, its ruins are still a tourist attraction.
Nohoch Mul - Coba Pyramid, Mexico
Coba is a relic of the Maya empire in Mexico. This area is said to have been discovered from about 100 BC until 100 AD and abandoned in 1550, after the Spanish invasion. Nohoch MUl is the tallest Mayan pyramid on the Yucatan Peninsula and the second tall Mayan pyramid in the world. It was discovered around 1800 but it was not until 1973 that the site was open to visitors.
Area Sacra di Largo Argentina - Italy
This Area Sacra di Largo Argentina was discovered around the 1920s. Temple B is the most recently discovered temple in four temples with almost 6 intact columns. Visitors to this area will see an impressive archaeological site and hundreds of cats living around. They are fed and cared for by volunteers.
Mexico Pyramid - Mexico
Teotihuacán is one of the first urban centers in central Mexico and is now one of the most important archaeological sites in the country. It was built around the 1st to the 7th centuries but very few have mentioned it, why it was built and who lives here. The pyramid of the sun is the largest in Teotihuacán and one of the oldest pyramids here.
Jupiter temple - Italy
Built to worship Jupiter - the god of sky and thunder, this temple is the center of the religious area in the ancient city of Pompeii. However, volcanic eruptions from about 2,000 years ago have buried buried into Pompeii. This temple was discovered around the 16th century and is now very crowded with visitors to admire its remnants.
Temple of Luxor - Egypt
Luxor Temple has a name derived from an Arabic word which is one of the holiest places in this country. Located on the banks of the Nile, Luxor temple was built by Pharaoh Amenhotep III, where Pharaon (female) Hatshepsut worshiped Amun. Before being discovered and excavated, this temple was filled with more than half (like most other ancient Egyptian ruins) under desert sand. In the 19th century, a Muslim temple was built just above this temple and it is still in use today. In 1885, to "excavate" this temple, archaeologists had to dig an entire village.
