Persepolis Reimagined
Narrated visit to ancient Persepolis, with a 3D rebuilt city and text that appears as you scroll
Steal this
Open on a dark scene and let the light rise slowly until the main scene appears
What it is
The opening shows a counter up to 100 over a dark, misty landscape; after you enter, the fog gives way to golden light over the rebuilt city. Lines in a decorative serif appear in the center, and two buttons in the corner control sound and settings.
What it’s for
For a history teacher who wants to show a class what the capital of Xerxes looked like, instead of photos of ruins.
Benefits
- virtual museum right in the browser
- visual rebuild of a city that no longer exists
- sound and settings controls always visible
Caveats
- The site plays sound and needs a computer with a good graphics card.
- The text is in English only.
