I'm assuming the scattered houses are speculative, but the mounds, palisade, 'woodhenge' and other major features are fairly accurate. The main mound is actually wider on the north-south axis than the pyramid of Giza (nowhere near as tall though).

I wouldn't call this a real 'reconstruction', since it's generally condemned by Irish archaeologists. That big retaining wall is completely inaccurate, it was just made that way to be more attractive to tourists. Knowth (pic related) is a much better restoration.

Ancient Egyptian cities looked magnificent in their prime.

Imagine being some bowhunter from some mudhut backwater settlement and getting summoned to the capital. The sights, the sounds, they would blow your mind.

The Great Pyramid of Giza was already more than 2000 years old when the Greek historian Herodotus visited it in 450 BC. Just think about that.

Thanks for (you)
You Retards fell into my trap

>>1714782
I hate how we track years, it creates like a disconnect in my mind between BC and AD and makes me feel like BC is less relevant than AD, I wish we'd track history starting five thousand years ago or so...

Ancient Egypt is just so wild tho, I have a hard time wrapping my head around it, doesn't help that 90% of content here on it is "WE WUZ" threads

>>1714812
It is pretty retarded particularly when you consider we are not even sure exactly when Jesus was born. We base our entire dating system on an arbitrary year a Jewish carpenter was supposedly born in but that we cannot determine with any certainty.

If it was up to me I would use either the invention of writing in Mesopotamia or the fall of the Western Roman Empire as base years, it makes more sense.

>>1714874
I'd put it under some event somewhere in the earlier years of Greek history, I am not well versed on it but it seems that this would be the correct basis for "the beginning of modern history".

It is just as arbitrary as Jesus but the Trojan war would be a good idea in my mind..

Anybody knows how the Romans tracked it?

>>1714874
I would start in 1453 to be honest, the final fall of Rome.

>>1714915
The Trojan war was a complete meme, it was just a small Anatolian settlement getting burned down by some marauders

>>1714782
>The Great Pyramid of Giza was already more than 2000 years old when the Greek historian Herodotus visited it in 450 BC

that is pretty fucking incredible isn't it? and the fucking Egyptians would have been just "oh, that? yeah it's old as fuck, I guess it's pretty cool, I see your humors are distempered, want some shitmedicine?"

>>1714950
>I see your humors are distempered, want some shitmedicine?"

It's probably disappointing anyway, you might expect cool things but all you get is a temple that is guarded off for anyone and lots of generic houses and a market with generic things. Besides once you've seen the city there is nothing else to observe and everywhere else is too far away and dangerous by foot.

Well obviously in this daydream I'm able to walk around completely unseen (Hell I could just be a "floating camera" so to speak) and I'm not just looking to go and stay at one place. Sure Ancient Babylon may only be cool to see for a few days before it gets boring, but then I could jump to go see the Battle of Waterloo or go see what the court of the Egyptian Pharaohs actually looked like.

>>1714915
>Anybody knows how the Romans tracked it?
Their Year 1 was the founding of the city by Romulus and Remus in what we now call 753 BC.

On the Hebrew calendar, we're late in 5776. That covers most of recorded civilization.

Not really. Romans did not have the same relation to the counting of time than us. I think they never said "we are in 731...", and at least ancient sources don't count that way.
They were more linked to the present year. Livius and other historians typically said "We are at the time of the consulship of M. Aellius and C. Sulpicius". That's all.

fun fact:
I live more-or-less on top of where Cahokia once stood. its a reasonable tourist attraction for being in the middle of nowhere, however, nearby there is a large mound-type landfill that smells absolutely atrocious. the buried trash creates a mound similar is shape and size to the largest of the Indian mounds. you can guess where I'm going with this...
