Athens 480 BCE - 3D reconstruction

A video-tour of ancient Athens during the Archaic period. The city and its monuments are depicted as they were in 480 BCE, just before everything was burned to the ground by the Persians. The Agora was rearranged to accommodate the public buildings of the new-born Democracy. On the Acropolis stood the archaic Temple of Athena and by its side, the under construction new temple which was destroyed by the Persians, only to be replaced 40 years later by the Parthenon. -Music: “Willow and the Light“ by Kevin MacLeod The watermarks on the images may (rightfully) annoy many viewers. They were not present from the beginnings of our website, but were added as a result of extended unauthorized use, alteration and expropriation of the material. ***Please SUBSCRIBE to get updates on new videos!*** Subscribe to our channel: Like us on Facebook: Instagram: See and read more: If you want to help our project, support us on Patreon:
