Dec 2, 2008 - I wish my Google Earth ran as smoothly as this. I have really fast broadband, a fast PC, a modern graphics card and even have all the layers turned off and a large cache. For the last few months it's been running like a dog with no legs. It used to be so much faster almost like this video.

Dec 7, 2008 - Rome fell because it got too big for it to be handled by itself. It took a very long time for this to happen, and involved a lot of factors, including economic difficulties, religious difficulties, foreign invasions, etc. Mostly it was just too big, so that is why when the Western Empire fell, the Eastern one remained for ages afterward.

Dec 7, 2008 - matt- in house building we use blueprints. when a blueprint fails, collapsing on people's heads and killing them, we abandon that blueprint, we dont say "there is no better blueprint than this one" however scholars who maintain that rather than a "fall", the changes can more accurately be described as a complex transformation is an acceptable argument

DbunkDbunkr Says:

Dec 7, 2008 - Rome was built and based on the code of Hammurabi which created a slave/class system. Today, many of those laws and ideas are considered offensive to many, however, you are free to glorify if you wish.

Dec 8, 2008 - You still haven't named it. By the way, one of the biggest events that cracked Roman Empire was Christianity.

DbunkDbunkr Says:

Dec 8, 2008 - the kingdom of heaven was apparently a lot better than rome since it lasted nearly 2000 years, but then you might believe the kingdom of heaven is in the "hereafter" and not a political government

Dec 8, 2008 - zag- not to bother you with my stupid posts but it occured to.. why would something supposedly so good have to always force people into it either with war, slavery, vice or a combination of those

Dec 8, 2008 - i tried this now but it doesn't work i clicked ancient rome 3d but i see only modern rome and some 3d buildings they are thousands of years old but they are still in rome. why i can't see anything smae like in that video!? do i have to download some new version of google earth?

zagaya1975 Says:

Dec 9, 2008 - I agree with you, in fact I've never said Roman Empire was a happy place to live. But, if we think about it, the centuries after weren't better: in the Middle Ages Rome kept on being a dangerous and violent place, plague and christian inquisition killed millions of people, women had no rights, peasants were slaves, and popes and kings were maybe worst than emperors.

Dec 12, 2008 - Ditto, I have been working on this for over an hour making no headway. Are their instructions somewhere? Do you need Google Earth Pro for it to work? Help!

Dec 12, 2008 - The only thing that can be added to make this perfect is textures. It look kinda plastic: just white walls and red roofs. The textures would be an excellent addition

olesgroup Says:

Dec 14, 2008 - zag:) ah the Spanish inquisition, a tragic response to hundreds of years of open slaughter on the Christians', the memory of coliseums lingering on for centuries, and finally the principles of Christ reforming the church and the world. but today we understand the principles of love, slavery, war, racism - all harmful actions, but were the very principles Rome was founded and thrived upon

Dec 25, 2008 - agreed

orihoola Says:

Dec 28, 2008 - As I understand it, the concept of Roman citizenship allowed peoples from all over the empire to gain some degree of equality despite their race and "class," a concept undoubtedly taken up one of the great Christian proselytizers, Paul: "There is no Jew or Greek, there is no slave or free, only heirs to the promise of God," or citizens of God's "kingdom." Not to glorify, but have we really come that much farther?
