3D Rendering of The Temple of Karnak

Unfortunately, I am averse to two major things that keep me from traveling much.  First, I don’t want to go someplace where I may be hurt, kidnapped, or attacked because I am a pasty white American.  Second, I hate crowds and “tour buses”.  So, going to Egypt, hopping on a bus to go out to the pyramids, or cool places like The Temple of Karnak, are somewhat not on my immediate itinerary.  However, most of you who follow me, know I am fascinated by such places.

Enter the Internet with 3d rendered photos.  Sweet!  Earlier I posted a truly awesome link of a 3D rendering of the Sistine Chapel.  Here is one for the Temple of Karnak hieroglyphic wall inscriptions.  Below the link, I put a few lower quality pictures.  Again, you can move back and forth, up and down by holding down your left mouse button and moving the mouse.  You can zoom in and out with the mouse wheel.  Enjoy!

HD 3D Sistine Chapel

This is one of the coolest HD interactive 3d renderings I have seen, simply because of the subject – The Sistine Chapel.  All I can say is WOW!  Can’t make the trip to Rome to visit The Vatican and hope to see it in person?  Enjoy.  The artwork is truly awe inspiring.  You can drag your mouse around to see floor, ceiling, front, back, everything.  Use your mouse wheel to zoom in or out.

Here is the link:
