thank you from Canada to Kuwati businessman supporting this effort

I visited Ballbek in the ealry 90s and it made such an impression on me. Awe inspiring. It is so sad that the region remains in turmoil. The people and places of Lebanon deserve so much better than they have gotten these last decades.

A huge thank you to the person (or organiztion?) who funded this insight into our rich collective past. What a legacy to leave to the world !!!

gratefully yours

Very well done

I am a classicist, though I study literature rather than material remains. The visuals are very impressive and the combination of contemporary ruins and scholarly reconstruction is compelling. The audio-commentary is an excellent touch - it strikes me as quite accessible except for a few architectural terms (e.g. exedra) that the layperson might need to look up. The tour itself is very thorough. Overall, this is a wonderful educational tool - bravo to all involved!

I rate it 2.5/5

The terrain used isn’t in high definition. The iPad can take much more. The graphics are too basic. The interface is obsolete . The content is interesting hence the rating 2,5/5.

Love!

This is great! Loved the tour!!! Never thought I’d be able to experience this.

LOVE

Great app, love the 360 self-control views. I saw a lot of people complaining about not being able to see the full view due to info screen, all you had to do was double click outside that screen. Very easy to use!
