Explore a digital reconstruction of a city that vanished 3,000 years ago. Click and drag to look around, and use the buttons to navigate through the city. Both the central panorama and all pop-ups are interactive.
This reconstruction builds on the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East’s reconstruction of a four-room house, a common domestic form in the Iron Age Levant. The term refers not simply to four enclosed rooms, but to a distinctive architectural layout: a series of long parallel spaces leading to a broader room at the rear. We have re-situated that house within the village landscape it once belonged to and made the entire environment interactive, allowing visitors to explore the settlement and engage with both the main panorama and the pop-up elements.
