Virtual ArchaeologyMaurizio Forte, Alberto Siliotti Harry N. Abrams, 1997 - 294 pagina's Virtual Archaeology is the first book to take advantage of astonishing new technology for visualizing ancient sites and buildings. A wealth of three-dimensional, high-definition computer reconstructions, along with hundreds of dazzling full-color maps, diagrams, and photographs, provide a startlingly real sense of how significant archaeological sites around the world once looked. This thrilling "virtual" tour travels down the streets of Pompeii before the city's destruction in A.D. 79 and into the palace of King Minos in Crete when its walls were brightly painted. It journeys to China as a great terra-cotta army is buried with the first emperor and to the American Southwest as Anasazi Indians build adobe pueblos in Chaco Canyon. Clear, informative texts by an international team of archaeologists describe great cities - classical Athens, ancient Rome, the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan - and famous historical discoveries - the tomb of Philip of Macedon and that of the Moche "Lord of Sipan" in Peru. |
