The Tower of Babylon: The reality behind the myth

Description: 

This project aims at the development of an Augmented Reality app which allows to visualize a 3d model of the great ziggurat Etemenanki on top of an old archaeological map depicting the ruins of Babylon (Iraq). A different app will make Nebuchadnezzar’s stela about the construction of the ziggurat speak, providing an oral translation of the royal inscription as well as highlighting the cuneiform text and the images carved on the stela.
