New website - the Giza Plateau in 3D

Post by LivinginLuxor »

This is an enormous site detailing some of the best 3d modelling of the Giza plateau I've ever seen. It requires a special plugin which can be installed on your first visit, and each section of the site downloads the model and guided tours, but you can wander around at will. Hours of fun!

I might agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong!

The main picture looks promising Stan,
but while I am in work, I get this message.

3D Life Player is not supported by this browser or operating system.
(Ubuntu 10.4 with Firefox..)

Looks like I will have to wait until this evening, and fire up my Windows 7 Box.. :cg

Typical, I have 100mg Broadband in Work, and 2mg at Home....
It's like having a pack of cigarettes and no lighter... :cool:
