Reconstructing 6 UNESCO cultural sites in danger of disappearing forever
See ruined endangered UNESCO sites virtually rebuilt before your very eyes
World heritage sites exist in constant danger of degradation or destruction. From militants to motorists, earthquakes to urbanization, these meaningful landmarks face both human-made and natural threats. UNESCO?s List of World Heritage in Danger draws attention to sites at risk of losing the characteristics that make them special.
By definition, these structures are significant to ?all the peoples of the world? ? but most of us won?t get to see them in person. The team at Budget Direct decided to bring them to your home instead. These six ruined sites were digitally restored to their former glory: UNESCO World Heritage Site – Location
1) Hatra Al-Jaz?rah ? Iraq

2) Leptis Magna District of Khoms ? Libya

3) Palmyra Tadmur, Homs Governorate, Syria

4) Portobelo-San Lorenzo Fortifications Province of Colon, District of Cristobal, Panama

5) Nan Madol Temwen Island, Federated States of Micronesia

6) Old City of Jerusalem and its Walls Jerusalem, Israel
Here?s a before and after preview of Iraq?s Hatra (also available in GIF and video format):
