Did you know? This was what the Parthenon looked like in 432 BC.

An exceptionally impressive video was created with the help of technology, presenting the Parthenon as it was at its peak, in 432 BC.

Juan de Lara, a professor at the University of Oxford, combined primary sources, astronomical data, and advanced CGI technologies to create a stunning three-dimensional reconstruction of the Parthenon in its prime. In fact, as it appears, the digital ā€œengineā€ Unreal Engine II was used— the same one behind some of today’s most advanced video games.
