Living in the Past

摘要

Jerusalem is rich with archaeological sites that hold valuable historical evidence of the way people lived and the customs they observed many years ago. But even though a great deal of the city's ruins have been excavated, it still can be difficult to visualize the way Jerusalem looked 2000 years ago, for example. Recognizing this, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) is using real-time 3D simulation technology to help visitors to the new Ethan and Maria Davidson Exhibition and Virtual Reconstruction Center visualize what Jerusalem's famed Herodian Temple Mount looked like prior to its destruction by Roman troops during the first century.
