Explore Ancient Rome With Google Earth

Through the magic of Google Earth you can now travel back in time to see Ancient Rome and all of its architecture in full 3D. The feature was developed by the Rome Reborn Project which aims to recreate a 3D representation of the ancient city of Rome from the year 320 AD, at the peak of the city's development. To rediscover the 3D city of Ancient Rome for yourself, check out Google's page about the new feature.

Google Earth Steps Back in Time to Ancient Rome

There's a lot more to history and archeology than just uncovering the past. Sometimes recreating the past in our present time is the best way to understand how people lived thousands of years ago. One such project, the Rome Reborn project of the University of Virginia's Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities, seeks to digitally rebuild the city of Rome "as it might have appeared at the height of its urban development in the time of Constantine the Great in A.D. 320."

Shift Linux: A New Direction

Since its incarnation in 2006, Shift Linux has had an ambitious team behind it. We have always strived to be "more than just another linux distribution", a goal which has never been more important than it is now. Over the next little while, Shift will be reborn and redefined, moving farther away from traditional Linux roots, and into something newer. Linux will always be our core, but on top of that, we need to use new technologies, both those that exist and those which we can only imagine, to build something fresh. Today, Shift Linux will move forward.

Google sends Street View cameras back to ancient Rome

Putting a graphical spin on the notion of rendering the things which are Caesar’s, Google Earth has added a new 3D overlay depicting Rome as it existed in 320 A.D. The new layer, produced by the University of Virginia’s Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities based on its Rome Reborn model, lets users wander around, and sometimes inside, models of more than 6,700 buildings in the ancient city. Climb up and down the seven hills, stand in the center of the Colosseum, visit the virgins at the Temple of Vesta — it’s all possible now and a darn sight more compelling than the illustrations in dead-tree textbooks, which is why Google is also sponsoring a competition for educators to come up with the best Rome 3D curriculum. Tempus fugit, so don’t fiddle around.
