@gergely007 Sadly, most ancient buildings do not simply disappear of their own accord- people actually cart away the marble and use it for other things, like bridges.
Interesting sidenote- Roman and Greek marble statues were not just white, they were painted but as time passed the paint wore off and the statues were left as white marble
@chairde Well, the funny thing about the Eastern Empire was that the first Pro-Consul acctually ruled from Milan. I believe it was Diocletian and Maximian who ruled at that times as co-emperors, but after their abdication, Constantine I moved his capital to Byzantium, replaced the succession system with hereditary rule, and took over Rome. But originaly, the split wasn't through some sort of war. It was a mutual agreement.
"took over Rome'? It's the other way around, Red. The 4 bronze horses atop the pillars in front of Venice's Doge were stolen from Byzantium and carted away as booty. The 1st bishop (later il papa or pope) of Rome was never any higher, or more significant than any other bishop. This, like so many other Catholic details was a later invention.
How you achieved that? Man i've never had the chance to see it and i'm so much interested in the history of rome, right now it's been wiped out from google earth because of some contracts...how did you do that?
Feanorlike Just type 'ancient_rome_regions kmz' in google and click the 1st link, it's gonna download the file automatically, it's about 80kb or something. Once you've gotten the file, just double click it and it'll open Google earth with the ancient rome layer.
Feanorlike And I forgot - after you've gotten the file and opened Google Earth through it, hover over Rome and you'll see these yellow placemark icons. Click on one of those and it's gonna open up links for you where you can download the 3D models.
+HolyRetardationBlog man you made my day. Thanks a LOT. This is awesome. I've just loaded the terrain right now and i'm so excited and came here to thank you, gonna make a good trip today ooo yes haha :D
I was thinking the very same 'reality" as you expressed so well while listening to the smooth and flawless presentation of the narrator (beautiful voice). There is a difference between sounding neutral and respectful---and just plain denial...we don't learn from denial (other than that it is harmful, both then and now). Thanks for expressing compassion, I felt better after noticing your comment.
The only thing that can be added to make this perfect is textures. It look kinda plastic: just white walls and red roofs. The textures would be an excellent addition
this is why I always use google when searching and shopping online...so that they can make better programs while us generating them money on their ads..I love this program!!!
I've just returned from Rome and while i was there i had the same feeling, what if the city would still look like it did 1000..years ago, at least this gives us an insight!
quello che vediamo sono solo gli edifici più alti oppure solo la parte più alta di edifici il doppio o triplo più grandi... sappiamo che Roma antica va da 5 a 25 metri di profondità a seconda della zona, quindi capisci che questo progetto parte già in modo sbagliato, in quanto non considera questo. basta che ti fai un giro a Roma ai fori imperiali.... e vedrai che quelle che ti spacciano per le basi delle Domus sono in realtà il perimetro del tetto.... visto che praticamente di fronte hai archi che entrano sotto terra almeno 3-4 metri... basta osservare e fare le proporzioni e vedrai che Roma sta tanto più in basso... chissà cosa c'è sotto... infatti tutte le volte che provano a scavare trovano case romane ricoperte... la domanda nasce spontanea cosa ha coperto Roma anche di 20-25 metri ? il Tevere non di certo;) ..... e poi dove cazzo è andata tutta la popolazione di uno dei più grandi imperi?.... gli imperi posso cadere ma le persone mica spariscono da un giorno all'altro.... se cerchi disegni vedrai che roma come parigi londra ...ecc... aveva dei palazzi incredibili .... ma le strade di fango... cazzarola.... tecnicamente non possibile... per una civiltà che avrebbe fatto quello che vediamo... e poi camminava nel fango.... mmm le trade sono sotto;)) coperte da metri di terra.
This thing works, but it's very annoying to use. It takes a very long time to load, about an hour with a fast connection. It's pretty slow, and looking inside the buildings is nearly impossible, because you actually have to zoom in, so you hardly see anything. Needs much more work.
Rome fell because it got too big for it to be handled by itself. It took a very long time for this to happen, and involved a lot of factors, including economic difficulties, religious difficulties, foreign invasions, etc. Mostly it was just too big, so that is why when the Western Empire fell, the Eastern one remained for ages afterward.
Earth to seeing star 1&2 out of my eyes so now final. Looking from a last peasants point of veiw you i think might even enjoy testing the planet earth 🌎 from mars or even moon beams out of my eyes so i can be austruck transfixed and mother eaClaimrth has got me like putty in her hands intranced to ✌on earth.
@athox :D I didn't mean that. I just meant that if You put so much effort into making a digital plan of ancient Rome, you at least call with its proper name, the ONLY building that survived to us almost entirely throughout the ages... :D
I just checked the forums, and I 'm sad to say that it seems the layer has been removed at the request of the original provider - perhaps a copyright issue. It is a shame since this had so much educational value.
@MessiahComing Isn't it true that the ten tribes were taken off into slavery and that was the end of ancient Israel until very recent history. Correct me if I'm wrong but the tribes did live in the Holy Land under the entire Roman Empire's rule in that area. It was not the Romans that took the ten tribes out of the Holy land.
This is amazing!!! WOW!!! TECHNOLOGY RULES!!! Great job Google! You rule! You are the best! All hail Google! Google is going to be the ruler of the world!
I agree with you, in fact I've never said Roman Empire was a happy place to live. But, if we think about it, the centuries after weren't better: in the Middle Ages Rome kept on being a dangerous and violent place, plague and christian inquisition killed millions of people, women had no rights, peasants were slaves, and popes and kings were maybe worst than emperors.
Ooh,I'm goin 2 do that. I've always wondered what ancient Rome looked like. I'm very much interested in Historic places and countries. 2 bad no one invented the time machine,I could travel back in time 2 the Roman days and ancient greece. That would be a dream come true,an absolute,Miracle.
Sorry to hear that Google stole your idea. You should get an attorney. Just one consolation: it screwed up my computer. It's very hard to get into, understand, and I recommend that you don't try to get into it unless you want to have your computer crash and be hell to get back in good working order. Poo on Google's "good ideas."
Yes! Art & architecture of the period seem to reflect refinement, civility, pride & achievement/the human spirit, appreciation for beauty, romance, enlightenment (tho I know that period came later;-). Sharp contrast to the extreme popularity of torture to the death for the sake of entertainment w/massive crowds cheering on. I can almost perceive the energy & echoes of this aspect of real-life in G's sterile virtual world (however great the application). So why omit, deny (not even gloss over)?
i tried this now but it doesn't work i clicked ancient rome 3d but i see only modern rome and some 3d buildings they are thousands of years old but they are still in rome. why i can't see anything smae like in that video!? do i have to download some new version of google earth?
@MessiahComing Well that is interesting. Rome and even the Eastern Empire had some qualities that were both awesome and fearsome even to today's standards. I would think that if Rome had continued on with its impressive engineering and organizational skills the world would be a much better place today. I also think that the fearsome behaviors, slavery and war, would diminish like they did after the fall of the Empire up to today. I still stand in admiration of Pax Romana which lasted so long.
I did not know you could copyright history. WHAT IS GOING ON !!! If there is nowhere else to see this, then somebody really mean forced Google to remove it. WE ARE OWED AN EXPLANATION !!!
This isn't just for history buffs. It's a GREAT tool for anyone planning a trip to Rome or who wants to re-live a past vacation there. (And if you haven't been to Rome, you really should. Layers and layers of history, culture, and good food.) Thanks for the memories, Google!

If it's not available anymore, than how come I have it and use it every single day of my life?
you're lying q_q

yes, it was. The people at UVA who created it wanted it removed while they make a new (possibly stand-alone) version. No other specifics are known.
The only thing that can be added to make this perfect is textures. It look kinda plastic: just white walls and red roofs. The textures would be an excellent addition

Google Earth 3D video ,on Rome is Great. Thank You
This needs to be done for Knossos!
a very amazing experience ! many thanks google
man google should so make a game
they're so fast at making 3d stuff
really like this layer
i also have to say I have never heard a Google product/feature being introduced with such a manly voice lol
I've just returned from Rome and while i was there i had the same feeling, what if the city would still look like it did 1000..years ago, at least this gives us an insight!

Is there a way to install this on Google earth now?
@MessiahComing Well that's interesting but didn't Rome collapse before Constantinople?
Thanks for such a informative video.
NOOOOOOO!!!! WHY IS IT NOT HERE?!?!?!
This is amazing :D
Rome fell because it got too big for it to be handled by itself. It took a very long time for this to happen, and involved a lot of factors, including economic difficulties, religious difficulties, foreign invasions, etc. Mostly it was just too big, so that is why when the Western Empire fell, the Eastern one remained for ages afterward.
Forget it. I recommend you go there instead! They got wine, they got pizza and all the stuff that makes it really interesting.

they should make a google earth history where we could find what everything looked like in the past.
Google.
Incredible as always.
I wish google earth could put other famous empires too.
Greek.
Babylonians
Assyrians
Hittites
Persian and Medes
Good information, when you have a visit planning.
Greetings Wim 3d
not really, my history teacher is making us do a project using this program, and it explains a lot about ancient rome
Can you just imagine if Rome had never fallen and stayed strong up to today.
This is awesome!
the narrarotor sounds so enthused. ;D
@athox :D
I didn't mean that. I just meant that if You put so much effort into making a digital plan of ancient Rome, you at least call with its proper name, the ONLY building that survived to us almost entirely throughout the ages... :D
you must download it!
This is so awesome!
@chairde Acctually, the eastern Empire was a result of how powerful Rome was.
I can't find the place to download it. Anyone has a clue?
It isn't available anymore. :(
Look for the comment of holyretardation. You will find it very useful. It saved me.
I just checked the forums, and I 'm sad to say that it seems the layer has been removed at the request of the original provider - perhaps a copyright issue. It is a shame since this had so much educational value.
Cheers thanks! Google Earth this is awesome!!

hes like "At google we are so excited" in a monotone voice!
oh yah!!! exciting! XD
Its wonderful, Love you Google.
is it just me or is there a terrain mismatch, the building seem to float above the ground for me...
wooow, dat graphics... i have never seen something that realistic!
Lmao!
the video was uploaded in 2008...
worst graphics
You are being sarcastic 😂
If I had a time machine I would travel in an ancient Rome by all means!
@Slacktoo what does CE stand for? I thought it was an EU quality control stamp
This is amazing!!! WOW!!! TECHNOLOGY RULES!!! Great job Google! You rule! You are the best! All hail Google! Google is going to be the ruler of the world!
Why doesn't it work for me? When I click on ancient Rome 3 D under gallery all it brings me to is photographs of ruins. No computer graphics at all.
I agree with you, in fact I've never said Roman Empire was a happy place to live. But, if we think about it, the centuries after weren't better: in the Middle Ages Rome kept on being a dangerous and violent place, plague and christian inquisition killed millions of people, women had no rights, peasants were slaves, and popes and kings were maybe worst than emperors.
@MessiahComing Excuse me but Israel did exist under the Roman Empire. Remember the Roman legions and Massada. Wasn't Pilate a Governor for Rome?
Ooh,I'm goin 2 do that. I've always wondered what ancient Rome looked like. I'm very much interested in Historic places and countries. 2 bad no one invented the time machine,I could travel back in time 2 the Roman days and ancient greece. That would be a dream come true,an absolute,Miracle.
Rome used the Fastowl, see fastowl on youtube
Imagine if ancient Romans had modern technology. That would have been disastrous.
You have to go to the link at the end of the video and download it.
0:47 "popular animal hunts"?!
No it's not. Assassins Creed Brotherhood is set in Rome in the Renaissance era. If you re-read his comment he says it's not set in ANCIENT Rome.
I don't have the ancient rome layer :'(
This project is no longer functional or available in Google Earth.
Sorry to hear that Google stole your idea. You should get an attorney. Just one consolation: it screwed up my computer. It's very hard to get into, understand, and I recommend that you don't try to get into it unless you want to have your computer crash and be hell to get back in good working order. Poo on Google's "good ideas."
it would be cool if it actually existed on google earth
So, why remove it again?
.. Google could so easily make the most epic mmorpg ever. Like multiplayer oblivion but with the whole world.
@chairde Look up Emperor Hadrian. You know, the guy that built the wall across Britain. Then you will see why it wouldn't be Israel.
ah ancient rome - cue epic musak.
maybe, or could be SketchUp Google's free software for 3D modeling
what happened to project 10 to the 100?
How about an update please?
Yes! Art & architecture of the period seem to reflect refinement, civility, pride & achievement/the human spirit, appreciation for beauty, romance, enlightenment (tho I know that period came later;-). Sharp contrast to the extreme popularity of torture to the death for the sake of entertainment w/massive crowds cheering on. I can almost perceive the energy & echoes of this aspect of real-life in G's sterile virtual world (however great the application). So why omit, deny (not even gloss over)?
15 years later, im watching this, because im at history class :D
No layer for me too. I download the newst version now but nothing.. What can i do?
I worked on this project!
you can download it..:D
.....He's absolutely right
wow!!! how cool is that?!
respect! give it 5 years, and you'll be able to fly aroudn most of the 1st world and check it right out!
Ryan Air beware ;)
@Snailguy11217 I agree, I thought it would've look like the buildings you see in this video...
Thanks :)
no, it says forum ..
tcc.. :)
@TheDarklord0211 Because CC isn't activated. It's in the Video itself.
Activate the CC and it'll fuck up.
Yes google, we welcome your all-consuming empire.
what about other places..???
WHAT DID HAPPEN TO ROME???
i tried this now but it doesn't work i clicked ancient rome 3d but i see only modern rome and some 3d buildings they are thousands of years old but they are still in rome. why i can't see anything smae like in that video!? do i have to download some new version of google earth?
Well, We can throw The Animus away now.
Hello Google please make such type of video for grand Indian history
@MessiahComing Well that is interesting. Rome and even the Eastern Empire had some qualities that were both awesome and fearsome even to today's standards. I would think that if Rome had continued on with its impressive engineering and organizational skills the world would be a much better place today. I also think that the fearsome behaviors, slavery and war, would diminish like they did after the fall of the Empire up to today. I still stand in admiration of Pax Romana which lasted so long.
I have the latest version of Google Earth but the Ancient Rome layer won't show up. What do I do?
they got pizza in ancient rome?? awesome pizza time pizza time
holy shit thats amazing!
the instructions are in correct because i cant ancient rome 3d under galleries
Cool but its like seeing computer models from 1997
where are the 300 spartans?
Doctor Who.
Fires of Pompeii.
Close Enough.
How to get out of that friggin wire mode?
@MessiahComing How do you figure that?
nov 2008 , there was no HD yet
I can't find this anymore :(((
better than it is now
I can't download this, it doesn't work?
I did not know you could copyright history.
WHAT IS GOING ON !!!
If there is nowhere else to see this, then somebody really mean forced Google to remove it.
WE ARE OWED AN EXPLANATION !!!
Well you have to download it, so just search Google Earth Rome in Google, and see what comes up.
This isn't just for history buffs. It's a GREAT tool for anyone planning a trip to Rome or who wants to re-live a past vacation there. (And if you haven't been to Rome, you really should. Layers and layers of history, culture, and good food.) Thanks for the memories, Google!
