I've finally found that link to the "Virtual Forbidden City" tour that was on that History Channel Special some years ago. It's downloadable software. I can't account for how secure it really is, so you'll need to assess that on your own.

Cheers and enjoy!

Speaking of . . . does anyone have a link to the virtual ancient Rome?

[Caipirabob]

Is this it?

Rome Reborn

Here's the link in case my HTML fails again: http://www.romereborn.virginia.edu/

This should be interesting! Thanks!

If you like this kind of stuff, there is an online game called Second Life and they recently opened a full size replica of the battleship Yamato that you can explore. The level of detail is fascinating! You would have to download Second Life like this program, create a free account and your avatar (very easy) and then just do a search for “Yamato.” I think its well worth the effort.

Wow, that’s pretty cool. I may have to check that out. I’ll have to wait until I get more free time though. Freeping takes up most of my PC time. : )

WOW!

The great wall must have been incredible - The forbidden city is huge!

Thanks for that. I condensed the photos into the second view for easier browsing. Everyone should check this out.

[Reaganesque]

Thanks again! I love history and this should provide hours of entertainment! Google Earth is populating Ancient Rome as we speak.

It won’t let me select English only Chinese.

[Reaganesque]

I understand completely. LOL And Second Life can suck up a great deal of free time as well.

it actually was a huge tourist trap, and I was there on their Golden Week, a national holiday, EVERYone had it off and I never saw so many people in one city in my life
