Amazing reconstruction, going even beyond imagination as ancient Rome must have usually been. Congratulations, it is worth every second you spent working on it.
It has more to do with us today abandoning all standarts of objective beauty as a culture. Therefore most of the stuff we build is soulless and unimaginative.
It would be amazing but international laws about heritage are against any reconstruction, on the grounds that 1. it is necessary to show the history of the monument, therefore also its destruction is considered history and 2. the few remaining parts of the original building may not be strong enough to be incorporated in a modern building.
Modern building codes would be a major obstacle. Most of the decor was done by hand. The skills needed for that kind of work are mostly now lost to history. The expense would be incalculable. Rome had the advantage of drowning in wealth from conquered lands and the availability of slave labor. And as noted above, it could not be done w/o irreparably harming what was left of the original structure.
@@Marcos5pb What you state is undeniably true, but it is also possible to say that Roman+ Greek cultures together blended in what we call “Classical” culture, which had a great range of influence all across the world.
Thank you. Also, the fade in/out of new to old really helps visualize for those of us who have been there (multiple times) but still have problems placing things.
I am so grateful for this! I am an old man now, and have wondered about this since I was 8 years old. I told my parents that I would love to have been in Ancient Rome. My dad said;” you couldn’t have handled the overwhelming stenches and awful smells”
Give thanks to Christianity in Greece for not wanting to rebuild the Parthenon. Also, Rome is very Christianized, the reconstruction of these buildings (for religious purposes) will never come to fruition.

@@m.boivin8671 Oh yes don't even tell me that it breaks my heart. Christianity destroyed the world's greatest art and architecture all across the globe, what the Spanish did in Tenochtitlan was the same they did in south Italy and Sicily to the ancient greek remains to build their stupid castles and fortresses, same goes for what Normans and Christian fanatic Roman Emperors and popes, likke the devil Theodosius the 'Great'
@@lucioferox7549 Perhaps Christianity has destroyed architectural and artistic works in the name of its doctrine and beliefs, but the current heritage of the Roman Catholic Church in architecture and art is immeasurable.

This is so magnificent, with all the colors on the structures, architectures, monuments & statues restored in full detail & everything. Now we can see it in full glory. Thanks, a lot. 😘😘😘😘 Sweet!
The level of detail is incredible! You did a great job, thank you for this. Also, I've seen some of your older vids with Corinth, Athens, Olympia etc. and was wondering if it would be possible for you to model the 3rd Artemision at Ephesus?
The industriousness of Middle Ages and Renaissance Romans in despoiling/ scavenging their ancient heritage is truly amazing! Such minute scraps left of monumental buildings. They were very thorough.
Orașele din zilele noastre la arhitectură, reprezintă ceva tern, fără valoare în comparație cu arhitectura,cu construcțiile din Roma antică!Sunt uluită de măreția și frumusețea arhitecturii romane,de cum arăta Roma antică!
Incrível 😮😮😮 o seu trabalho faz mais vídeos como este, eu adoro a história do império romano, se eu fosse o presidente de Roma eu reconstruir tudo da antiga Roma
The Temple was most likely stripped of its treasures, ornamentation and statues either during the sack of 410, or the sack of 455. I'm betting on the latter, as the Vandal sack was of longer duration (2 weeks) and more thorough than that of the Visigoths (3 days). The fabric of the building remained intact, and King Theodoric of the Ostrogoths ordered the facade to be restored in the early 500s. As the narrator described, the bronze roof tiles were confiscated in the early 7th century. The structure was wrecked beyond repair in the 9th century, most likely during the massive earthquake of 847 (which also heavily damaged the Basilica of Maxentius), and during the Renaissance the marble of the building was melted in lime kilns to build other structures. The columns would have been repurposed as well.
because many people who succumb to the abrahamic faiths want to deny people from having this. they don't want these temples, built by and led by pagans to come back. That or because it's damn expensive and we probably don't have the precision to make these again, or because they don't want to in general.
You may have touched upon this in other comments, video or posts, but what sources do you use to figure out what statues would have been used, colour schemes, detaild and more? I'm very curious.
It was more than likely made to compete with the Temple of Apollo Didymaios, another enormous temple in Ionia. Both buildings were decastyle and had almost the exact same dimensions, with the Didymaion being slightly bigger.
Fantastic! The public buildings of ancient Roma are not surpassed by modern nations. There is no longer dedication to national glory through architecture. The fascist regimes of Italy and Germany in the 1930s planned to prioritise this kind of construction.
I've been to Rome. Its insane how buildings like this have disappeared. I know earthquakes made them collapsed. And people quarred the marble in the middle ages. Its tragic really
Thank you for all you have done to create this 3D video. I guess we will always wonder what happened to the remains of the buildings that are no longer there.
I'd buy a detailed freely explorable ancient Rome in VR content. I'm sure many would. You already have the models, it would not be too hard to make it into an explorable VR environment.

I'm gonna go this week to the Temple of Venus and show this video to my wife while being there, to show her how this building looked. Thank you!
Magnificent. I hope I see the day in my lifetime when I can walk through a complete and accurate digitaled recreation of Rome in High Resolution VR.
Me too my fellow lover of ancient Roman history.
Roma aeterna, Roma victrix!!
Could you imagine a building like that in the Rome we have today, Splendid piece of architecture!
You kinda have that in Rome. Have you gone to San Peter's Basilica? It gives you a fantastic ideia how Ancient Rome was.
How can such an ancient city be more spectacular than many today? Their dedication using simpler tools is beyond imagining.
The Romans were expert architects and engineers.
It has more to do with us today abandoning all standarts of objective beauty as a culture. Therefore most of the stuff we build is soulless and unimaginative.
Agree@@user-uf2df6zf5w
@@user-uf2df6zf5w Rationalist architecture, functionalism and money power taken to the extreme have led to the current situation.
@@Podzzy well that is best comment i read today ;)
Rome needs to reconstruct this temple in all its glory. Would make a terrific tourist attraction and example of Roman architectural excellence.

Roman architecture, which was actually influenced by Greek architecture!

@@Marcos5pbobviously lol no one denys the copy paste of the style, but some parts were distinctly roman/new
I never tire of learning about the Roman Empire. Awesome infrastructure!
Fantastic reconstruction! Thank you! 🤩

Thank you for this amazing 3D reconstruction of the Venus temple in Rome; it is great to see how ancient Rome looked. ❤
Mindblowingly amazing guys as always, look forward to every one of your uploads
Thank you! Will be more!
I love this project! Such astounding work!
Thank you so much!
Amazing work!!
Thanks!!
OUTSTANDING Graphics & Presentation : o ......
My favourite ancient Rome temple.
Fantastic video! Ancient Rome was amazing!
awesome 3D reconstruction = masterpiece!
Stunning video.
Reject weak modernity, embrace the fire of tradition.
It's disappointing that so many of these beautiful buildings are gone today.

Great reconstruction with amazing vistas of the ancient city.
2,000 years from now I really hope human beings will still be thriving, although it's not a sure thing by any means. God bless future humanity.🙏
Thank you so much for giving us this glimpse of the imposing imperial Rome.

Gorgeously presented. I am in awe.

Guys, you continue to impress. Beautiful.
Your work is beyond any superlatives which would be used to describe it!
Thank you so much for doing this for all of us, thank you.
Excellent! Visuals and voice and pacing ie slow enough to pay attention to details. Thankyou
And under or within that concrete base are the remains of the vestibule to part of Nero's Domus Aurea.
real glad to see you continue your continent my guy, thanks
Yes, to be continued more
Though i don't like the pagan aspect behind the existence of the temple of V and Roma, it remains a very beautiful and amazing structure.
I get the impression from this video that the pediment sculpture is very similar for both pediments - and that Venus is central to both.
Yes, later we'll add one more fronton for Roma Aeterna.
Hominum gloria transitoria est... sed romana gloria vivit.
Beautiful. Thank you ❤️
Bravi!
Wonderfull 3d artwork
Stunningly beautiful 😍
Great video!!
thats beautiful😍
Crazy stuff
wonderful video, my favorite creators are flipped prof and you👏👏
So indebted to you and your team for the calibre of work that has gone into creating this majestic reconstruction. Truly is awe inspiring.
Brilliant.
Amazing
Magnificent reconstruction
Marvellous and very accurate.
Thank you!
Hi !! Can you make videos for VR ??
Feast for the eyes!
Time passes and nothing stays the same. These videos help us understand how ephemeral even the grandest of structures actually are.
I really enjoy to watch your videos 🙂🏛🙂
Thank you colleague! 🙌✌️
Interesting video.
Thank you.
Grazie condivisione un saluto da Roma! Citta eterna anche grazie ai suoi visitatori...

Great reconstruction BTW. 👍👍

Question, how does a Temple, which is almost all stone and bronze, burn?
Is it just the roof that is wood then or what?
Almost like Notre Dame burned.
Great job I walked in the anciest Rome ❤

Would love to see these environments re-rendered using Stable Diffusion with realism prompts and eventually Sora.
