Awesome digital reconstruction of the Ramesseum developed by CyArk, a project dedicated to creating a digital archive of World Heritage sites. Using a large archive of photographs and a wide array of other data, the CyArk Ancient Thebes project provides 3-D point clouds, models, and digital reconstructions in addition to a variety of accurately rendered elevations, plans and measurements of the memorial temple of Ramses II. Among the many other CyArk Heritage site projects are Nineveh, Pompeii, Angkor Wat, and the hypogeum of an aristocratic Etruscan family. A valuable resource and an incredible project!
