Visit Pompeii (also Stonehenge & Versailles) with Google Street View
----------------------------------------The story of Pompeii is well known. Back in 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted and covered the neighboring Roman city with 60 feet of ash over the course of two days. The city was wiped out and then entombed for centuries, until archaeologists started unearthing the ruins in the 18th and 19th centuries, offering the modern world an amazing window into the finer details of ancient Roman life. (Just for the record, digging continues there today, Today, Google is helping deepen the modern connection to the ancient world you can tour Pompeii in 3Dfrom the comfort of your own home. To begin walking through the ancient city, just click here As a side note, this isn’t the first time Google has used Street View in such a way. You can also find tours of Stonehengeand Louis XIV’s Versailles. Enjoy it [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Dec 5, 2009 2:49:34 PM] |

In November, Google launched a 3D tour of Ancient Rome, circa 320 AD. The tour, produced with the help of the Rome Reborn Project at the University of Virginia, features over 6,000 buildings, some rendered in fine detail, and it includes some interiors as well. The Coliseum, the Roman Forum, the Basilica Julia, the Temple of Vesta — they’re all there. The video above introduces you to the tour, and shows you how to access it on Google Earth (The software can be downloaded here )
