Awesome 3D model of Jerusalem

[Tarbicus]

I once had to do something similar for a job I worked on a few years ago, and the amount of research was necessarily enormous. I stumbled across this humungous effort last night, a 3D reconstruction of ancient Jerusalem by Stephen Montalvo, and it's one of the most impressive 3D models I've ever seen. Given the relevance of Jerusalem here, I made some quick and nasty renders:

I can't even imagine the amount of work that went into it, and it outstrips mine by a long chalk.
