I am a bit... dissapointed? to see that the article calls them fantasy cities. Those are historical recreations not just like going and building Minas Tirith. I am not sure I am making my point clear, but I think it kind of downgrades the recreations.

He also says he took artistic license with the restoration of the buildings, the surrounding environments, and the representation of buildings for which there are no traces left. http://www.ancientathens3d.com/ http://www.ancientathens3d.com/

- ainiriand 7y agoThank you for the clarification. I was a bit concerned that the article was bringing down this feat.
- Retric 7y agoThat’s interesting. I would expect a historical city where most people are walking from place to place to have a much higher density of buildings. I wonder if there is anything like an actual map of buildings that remains that includes all the wooden buildings list to fire, rot, or demolition.
