Explore Ancient Rome In 3D With Google Earth

Posted by Bradley under Technology

Google launched Ancient Rome 3D today via it’s Google Earth software.

  1. Download Google Earth
  2. Navigate to the Layers panel on the lower left
  3. Expand the Gallery layer
  4. Turn on the Ancient Rome 3D layer

And you’re off exploring 6,700 of the city’s historic buildings; detailed interiors and all.

UPDATE: It seems some people are having trouble viewing the layer… be patient, “Rome wasn’t built in a day! The Ancient Rome 3D layer will be available soon.” says Google.
