Reconstructed Pueblo. This house was rebuilt in 1920 to provide an example of what a typical structure was like when this site was occupied more than 500 years ago. Bandelier National Monument. Los Alamos Co., New Mexico.
I finally reconstructed my joint/2nd Self-MOC, Valkyrion. This would be V3. Very apart from the previous ones, imo.

The new frame, classified as 'Susano'o' was based on battle data taken from the Zodiarch Nyctoria. That data also aided in the forging of the blade, 'Kusanagi', which is capable of damaging the Great Beings' spirits -- the only way to truly kill them -- with its 'Zanki Slash' (Light-Cutting Slash) ability.

El Palacio de Verano (en en chino: 颐和园, pinyin: Yí Hé Yuán, 'Jardín de la Salud y la Armonía') es un parque situado a unos 12 km del centro de Pekín, en la República Popular China. Desde el año 1998 está considerado como Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco.
El Palacio es hoy en día un extenso parque de casi 300 hectáreas, a orillas del lago Kunming y contiene una serie de construcciones. Fue originariamente construido en el año 1750 por el Emperador Qianlong. El lago es artificial. En 1860, durante la Segunda Guerra del Opio, el Palacio de Verano original fue prácticamente destruido por las fuerzas franco-británicas (véase Antiguo Palacio de Verano). Una parte del antiguo Palacio fue restaurada y embellecida por la Emperatriz Cixi en el año 1899. La emperatriz lo utilizó como su residencia temporal de verano a partir de 1901 y también fue la sede del Gobierno hasta 1908.
La mayoría de los edificios que forman el Palacio están situados entre el lago Kunming y la Colina de la Longevidad. Hay residencias, teatros, pagodas, puertas, muelles y otras diversas construcciones.
El lago Kunming tiene la forma de un melocotón, que es la fruta que representa la longevidad en la cultura imperial china. Concebido para el disfrute exclusivo del Emperador y su familia, es hoy en día un lugar de recreo y expansión para los pequineses y visitantes, sobre todo durante los fines de semana.

The Summer Palace is a palace in Beijing, China. It is mainly dominated by Longevity Hill (60 meters high) and the Kunming Lake. It covers an expanse of 2.9 square kilometers, three quarters of which is water. The palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Between 1750 and 1764 the Qing Emperor Qianlong created the Garden of Clear Ripples (Summer Palace), extending the area of the lake and carrying out other improvements based on the hill and its landscape. During the Second Opium War (1856-60) the garden and its buildings were destroyed by the allied forces. Between 1886 and 1895 it was reconstructed by Emperor Guangxu and renamed the Summer Palace, for use by Empress Dowager Cixi. It was damaged in 1900 by the international expeditionary force during the suppression of the Boxer Rising and 24 years later, it became a public park in 1924.
There are many buildings in the Summer Palace including The Cloud-Dispelling Hall, the Temple of Buddhist Virtue and the Sea of Wisdom Temple.

Situated in the Haidian District northwest of Beijing, Summer Palace is 15 kilometers (9 miles) from the downtown area. Being the largest and most well-preserved royal park in China, it greatly influences Chinese horticulture and landscape with its famous natural views and cultural interests, which also has long been recognized as 'The Museum of Royal Gardens'.
The construction of Summer Palace started in 1750 as a luxurious royal garden for royal families to rest and entertain. It later became the main residence of royal members in the end of the Qing Dynasty. However, like most of the gardens of Beijing, Summer Palace could not elude the rampages of the Anglo-French Allied Force and was destroyed by fire. According to historical documents, with original name as 'Qingyi Garden' (Garden of Clear Ripples), the Summer Palace (Yiheyuan) was renamed after its first reconstruction in 1888. It was also recorded that Empress Dowager Cixi embezzled navy funds to reconstruct it as a resort in which to spend the rest of her life. In 1900, Yiheyuan suffered another hit by the Eight-Power Allied Force and was repaired in the next two years. In 1924, it was open to the public. Summer Palace ranked amongst the World Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 1998, as well as one of the first national AAAAA tourist spots in China.
Yiheyuan radiates fully the natural beauty and the grandeur of royal gardens. Composed mainly of Longevity Hill (Wanshou Shan) and Kunming Lake, Summer Palace occupies an area of 300.59 hectares (742.8 acres). There are over 3,000 man-made ancient structures which count building space of more than 70,000 square meters, including pavilions, towers, bridges, corridors, etc. It can be divided into four parts: the Court Area, Front and Rear Area of Longevity Hill, and Kunming Lake Area.

Stari Most (English: Old Bridge) is a reconstruction of a 16th-century Ottoman bridge in the city of Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina that crosses the river Neretva and connects two parts of the city. The Old Bridge stood for 427 years, until it was destroyed on 9 November 1993 by Croat forces during the Croat–Bosniak War. Subsequently, a project was set in motion to reconstruct it, and the rebuilt bridge opened on 23 July 2004.
Staats Mill Covered Bridge, also known as Tug Fork Covered Bridge, is near Ripley, West Virginia.
Built in 1887, the bridge originally crossed the Tug Fork of Big Mill Creek at a cost of $1724.
In 1983, the bridge was relocated to the FFA-FHA State Camp at Cedar Lakes, about three miles from its original site. It was reconstructed across a pond at a cost of $104,000.

In 1920 this cliff house was reconstructed in Frijoles Canyon in Bandelier National Monument so that visitors could have some idea of how some cliff homes may have looked. Entry to the dwelling was probably through a doorway in the roof, not in the front of the structure. Bandelier is located near Los Alamos, New Mexico.

A house has been associated with the site of Crow Nest Park since the 16th century although the first definite information comes from the early 18th century. Field boundaries dating back to the 18th century still define the shape of the modern park's eastern perimeter.
Crow Nest mansion (grade II listed) stands towards the southern end of the site, on the site of the earlier house. The core of the present building at ground and first-floor level dates from c1710 and the house was remodelled and extended, probably in the 1820s, adding the present facade. When it came into the ownership of the Corporation in January 1893, the house was used as a tearoom and a depot. By 1896 it had opened as a museum and still serves this function today.
Although the land wasn't purchased until 1893, plans were published in the local press in December 1891 showing a range of features, including a lake, a bandstand, entrance lodges, and several areas set aside for sporting activities and the park was opened, although not fully complete in September 1893.
The bandstand structure consisted of a raise platform beneath which was stored in excess of 100 folding chairs for use by the orchestra and visitors. By the late 1960s the timber boards and rafters in the roof started to rot although cast iron structure was sound. The old Dewsbury Borough Council decided for safety reasons to dismantle the bandstand.
The original plan had been to reconstruct the bandstand as a focal point in the market square and so all the parts were carefully numbered and stored in the empty fire station building in front of the Town Hall. In 1974, Kirklees Council was formed and the new central works department decided to have a clean sweep - anything in storage throughout the new district, which had not been used for 12 months, was thrown away.
All that remains of the bandstand today is the raised concrete base surrounded by the original ornamental planting.

Korsika - Klippen von Bonifacio
Sentier des Plages / Beaches Walk / Strandwanderung
Bonifacio (/bəˈniːfɑːtʃoʊ/; Italian pronunciation: [boniˈfaːtʃo]; French: [bɔnifasjo]; Corsican: Bunifaziu, [buniˈfatsju]; Bonifacino: Bunifazziu; Gallurese: Bunifaciu) is a commune at the southern tip of the island of Corsica, in the Corse-du-Sud department of France.
Bonifacio is the setting of Guy de Maupassant's short story "Vendetta".
The French leg of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series takes place in Bonifacio.
Bonifacio is located directly on the Mediterranean Sea, separated from Sardinia by the Strait of Bonifacio. It is a city placed on the best and only major harbour of the southern coast and also is a commune covering a somewhat larger region including the offshore Isles Lavezzi, giving it the distinction of being the southernmost commune in Metropolitan France. The commune is bordered on the northwest by the canton of Figari and has a short border on the northeast with the canton of Porto-Vecchio. The combined border runs approximately from the Golfe de Ventilegne on the west to the mouth of the Golfu di Sant'Amanza on the east. The coastline circumscribed by the two points is about 75 kilometres (47 mi). Highway N198 runs north along the east coast and N196 along the west.
The islands are part of the French portion, 794.6-square-kilometre (196,300-acre), of the international Bouches de Bonifacio ("Strait of Bonifacio") marine park, a nature reserve, signed into legal existence by France and Italy in 1993 for the protection of the strait against passage of ships bearing dangerous chemicals, and implemented in France by a ministerial decree of 1999 detailing the land to be included in the réserve naturelle de Bouches de Bonifacio for the preservation of wild birds, other fauna and flora, fish and nature in general.
The southern coast in the vicinity of Bonifacio is an outcrop of chalk-white limestone, precipitous and sculpted into unusual shapes by the ocean. Slightly further inland the limestone adjoins the granite of which the two islands, Sardinia and Corsica, are formed. The port of Bonifacio is placed on the Bay of Bonifacio, a drowned ravine of a fjord-like appearance separated from the ocean by a finger-like promontory 1,500 meters (4,900 ft) long and 200 meters (660 ft) wide. In prehistoric post-glacial times when sea levels were low and the islands were connected, the ravine was part of a valley leading to upland Corsica. The maximum draught supported by the harbour is 3.5 meters (11 ft), more than ample for ancient ships and modern small vessels.
The city of Bonifacio is split into two sections. The vieille ville (old town), or la Haute Ville (the Upper city), on the site of a citadel, is located on the promontory overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The citadel was built in the 9th century with the foundation of the city. The Citadel has been reconstructed and renovated many times since its construction and most recently was an administrative center for the French Foreign Legion. Today it is more of a museum. Historically most of the inhabitants have resided in the Haute ville under the immediate protection of the citadel. The harbour facilities and residential areas below, la marine, line the narrow shelf of the inlet and extend for some distance up the valley, giving the settlement a linear appearance and creating a third residential section limited by St. Julien on the east.
The city and its fortifications also extend for some distance along the cliff-tops, which are at about 70 meters (230 ft) elevation. The cliffs have been undercut by the ocean so that the buildings, which have been placed on the very lip of the precipice, appear to overhang it. The appearance from the sea is of a white city gleaming in the sun and suspended over the rough waters below.
Bonifacio has two prehistoric sites of some importance: the ancient cave shelter of Araguina-Sennola near the village of Capello on Route N96 just north of the city and a chambered tomb of Vasculacciu further north near Figari. The first is the site of the notable Lady of Bonifacio, a female burial carbon-dated to about 6570 BC, which is either late Mesolithic or Early Neolithic, and the second belongs to the Megalithic Culture and is dated to the Middle Neolithic. The alignment of the two and the extensive use of chert from Monte Arci in Sardinia shows that the Bay of Bonifacio was a route to inland Corsica from the earliest times.
The only record of southernmost Corsica in Roman times comes from the geographer Ptolemy. He reports the coordinates of Marianum Promontory and town, which, plotted on a map, turn out to be the farthest south of Corsica. After listing the peoples of the east coast he states that the Subasani (ancient Greek Soubasanoi) were "more to the south."
The people do not appear subsequently and the town and promontory have not been identified, nor do any Roman roads point to it. The only official road, the Via Corsica, ran between the Roman castra of Mariana and Aleria on the east coast and further south to Pallas, according to the Antonine Itinerary. Ptolemy places Pallas unequivocally on the east coast north of Marianum. Although unrecorded tracks and paths to the far south are possible, it is unlikely they would have carried any significant Roman traffic.
Maritime traffic through the strait however was significant and it could hardly have neglected the fine harbour at Bonifacio. The most popular choice for Marianum Promontory therefore is Cape Pertusato, southernmost point of Corsica island, about 9 kilometers (6 mi) east of the harbor, with Bonifacio itself as Marianum town. A second possibility would be the first century AD Roman ruins adjoining Piantarella Beach near the village of Ciappili and next to the grounds of Sperone golf course, a recreational suburb to the west of Bonifacio, but those ruins appear to represent a Roman villa and the beach though eminently suitable for recreation is of little value as a port. More likely the villa belonged to a citizen of Bonifacio as Marianum.
Corsica was taken from the Roman Empire in 469 AD by Genseric, king of the Vandals, and recovered by the Eastern Empire in 534. The Lombards having taken it again in 725, Charlemagne cleared them out by 774 and handed the island over to the Papacy, which had been the most powerful complainant of the island's devastation by Germanics. Starting in 806 the Moors of Spain began to contend for the island and held it for a short time but in 828 the Papacy assigned its defense to the margrave of Tuscany, a powerful state of the Holy Roman Empire nominally under the Kingdom of Italy.
The city in evidence today was founded as a fortress by and subsequently named after Boniface II of Tuscany in 828. He had led a naval expedition to suppress the Saracens of North Africa and returned to build an unassailable fortress and naval base from which the domains of Tuscany could be defended at the outermost frontier. Most of the citadel postdates the 9th century or is of uncertain date but Il Torrione, a round tower, was certainly part of the original citadel.

Bonifacio (prononcé en français : [bɔnifasjo], en italien : [boniˈfaːtʃo]; en corse : Bunifaziu ou Bunifazziu selon le dialecte bonifacien) est une commune française située dans la circonscription départementale de la Corse-du-Sud et le territoire de la collectivité de Corse. Elle appartient à l'ancienne piève de Bonifacio dont elle était le chef-lieu.
Bonifacio, située à l'extrême sud de la Corse, est la commune française la plus méridionale de la France métropolitaine.
Au sud, les Bouches de Bonifacio séparent la Corse de la Sardaigne italienne.
Elle constitue après Porto-Vecchio la deuxième agglomération de l'Extrême Sud de la Corse, qui s'étend depuis Bonifacio jusqu'à Sari-di-Porto-Vecchio au nord et Monacia-d'Aullène à l'ouest en passant par Figari et son aéroport.
Dès 1833, les terrains néogènes de Bonifacio sont signalés par J. Reynaud dans une note publiée dans les Mémoires de la Société géologique de France (n° 20). « L'âge des couches de Bonifacio correspondant très probablement au calcaire moellon du Midi et à la mollasse des Martigues, de Cucuron et de Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux ». En 1886, l'îlot de Néogène de Bonifacio est soigneusement étudié par Pérou (n° 114) qui en donne la description suivante :
« Tantôt les premières assises disparaissaient, affleuraient ou étaient supérieures au niveau actuel de la mer ; qu'en de nombreux endroits l'érosion les avait totalement enlevées en ne laissant que le substratum de granite, et cela aussi bien sur les bords de la mer, par exemple, entre les ruisseaux de Canalli et de Balava, qu'à l'intérieur des terres, entre les collines de Sappa et de Finocchio. »
— D. Hollande in Géologie de la Corse, Bulletin de la Société des Sciences historiques et naturelles de la Corse - Éditeur Veuve Ollagnier Bastia, janvier 1917 p. 237-238.
Les sédiments du Néogène de Bonifacio forment à l'extrémité sud de la Corse un plateau élevé entre 60 et 80 mètres, d’une superficie de 60 km2, reposant en plein sol granitique. La mer a fortement rongé, miné à la base cet immense bloc ; les constructions élevées sur le bord des falaises « donnent l'impression d'une chute prochaine, bien qu'un tel état des choses dure depuis des siècles et ne trouble en rien la quiétude des habitants. ». La surface de ce plateau est découpée par des fentes, de petites vallées, qui la transforment en une table mamelonnée à monticules s'élevant jusqu'à 80 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer. La falaise que domine le phare de Capo Pertusato comprend essentiellement des mollasses graveleuses et des calcaires blancs.
Les sédiments néogènes de Bonifacio comprennent sept couches avec fossiles identifiés1, qui sont de haut en bas :
De l’Helvétien : 7 - Des calcaires assez tendres, grisâtres ; 6 - Des calcaires blancs subcrayeux ; 5 - Des calcaires durs, jaunâtres ou d'un gris blanc ;
Du Burdigalien : 4 - Des marnes ou des marno-calcaires ; 3 - Des calcaires verdâtres et des marnes sableuses, grises, ocreuses, quelquefois à grains de granite, où les fossiles sont nombreux ; 2 - Des calcaires ou des marno-calcaires ; 1 - Des lits de galets, de gravier et de sable.
L'origine de la ville actuelle de Bonifacio n'est pas vraiment connue avec précision, mais des dates approximatives indiquent sa refondation entre 828 et 833 par Boniface II de Toscane qui lui donna son nom actuel. L'histoire attestée de Bonifacio remonte en 1195 mais la ville fut colonisée par les Génois qui imposèrent à la ville des modifications militaires structurelles importantes (et qui créèrent la citadelle actuelle).
Comme tous les ports de commerce, son histoire a été relativement mouvementée notamment par un conflit guerrier entre Pise et Gênes, ces deux républiques se disputant avec acharnement sa citadelle qui était un maillon stratégique militaire et un complexe portuaire sans égal en Corse. Dans un premier temps, Pise fut maîtresse des lieux jusqu'à la fin du XIIe siècle.
Le roi Alphonse V d'Aragon, maintint en 1420 un siège pendant cinq mois avant de baisser les armes face à l'intouchable cité qu'était Bonifacio.
Bonifacio a subi au cours des siècles, de multiples attaques ; mais la plus terrible fut celle de la peste qui en 1528 fit plus de 4 300 morts dans la cité qui à cette époque comptait 5 000 habitants. Les murailles imprenables se révélèrent inutiles face à ce fléau. La chapelle Saint-Roch, à l'entrée de la ville, reste un témoignage de la fin de cette sombre période. On y fait toujours une procession qui rappelle que c'est en ce lieu, où est mort le dernier Bonifacien atteint de la maladie, avant la fin de la peste.
En 1553, encore très affaiblie par le passage de la peste, Bonifacio subissait une nouvelle attaque et dut se rendre à Dragut, un ancien corsaire turc dont on dit qu'il avait été commandité par le Maréchal des Thermes. La ville assiégée capitula pour la première fois et fut mise au pillage.
Le roi François Ier de France prend possession d'une ville détruite et dépeuplée que les Français commencent à reconstruire, mais qui, en vertu du traité de paix passé en 1559, est cédée à la République de Gênes.

Bonifacio (korsisch: Bunifaziu) ist eine Hafenstadt an der südlichen Spitze der französischen Mittelmeerinsel Korsika (Département Corse-du-Sud) mit 3118 Einwohnern (Stand 1. Januar 2017). Sie gab der Straße von Bonifacio genannten Meerenge zwischen Korsika und der zwölf Kilometer entfernten Insel Sardinien ihren Namen.
Bonifacio ist die südlichste Gemeinde des Départements Corse-du-Sud und der Insel Korsika. Der Ort teilt sich in zwei Gebiete: die Ville haute (Oberstadt) genannte mittelalterliche Altstadt und die Marina im Hafenbereich. Die Ville haute liegt auf einer 900 Meter langen, schmalen, parallel zur Küste verlaufenden Landzunge aus Kalk- und Sandstein, der Île de Fazio, die an ihrer Seeseite aus einer durchschnittlichen Höhe von 70 Metern faktisch senkrecht zum Meer hin abfällt. An der Landseite der Landzunge ist eine fjordartige Bucht (französisch Calanque) in den Kalkstein eingeschnitten, die einen gut geschützten Naturhafen bildet. Dort fällt das Kalksteinplateau weniger steil zum Wasser hin ab. Der Naturhafen dient gleichzeitig als Fischerei- und Yachthafen. Des Weiteren ist Bonifacio ein Zentrum der Handelsschifffahrt und des Fährverkehrs mit der benachbarten Insel Sardinien sowie des Fremdenverkehrs, insbesondere in den Sommermonaten.
Die offizielle Gründung Bonifacios geht auf das Jahr 828 und den toskanischen Grafen Bonifacio II. zurück. Archäologische Funde belegen allerdings, dass die Gegend bereits in frühgeschichtlichen Zeiten besiedelt war. 1187 gelang es den Genuesern mit einer List die Stadt einzunehmen. Abgesehen von einer Unterbrechung in den Jahren von 1553 bis 1559 (Sampiero Corso) blieb Bonifacio bis 1768 in der Hand Genuas. Seit 1768 ist Bonifacio unter französischer Herrschaft. 1793 bereitete Napoleon hier die gescheiterte Invasion Sardiniens vor. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde Bonifacio 1942 wie ganz Korsika von deutschen und italienischen Truppen besetzt.
Die auf einem halbinselartigen Felsplateau gelegene Altstadt von Bonifacio ist wohl eine der eindrucksvollsten im Mittelmeerraum. Das Plateau ist an seinem Fuß auf der Seeseite stark ausgewaschen, sodass die Häuser darauf fast wie auf einem Balkon stehen.
Die Altstadt, deren enge, kopfsteingepflasterte Straßen von vier- bis fünfstöckigen Häusern gesäumt werden, ist über eine Zugbrücke und einen im Zickzack angelegten Tunnel zur Zitadelle zu erreichen. Das Panorama, das sich von den zahlreichen Aussichtspunkten bietet, verdeutlicht, warum Bonifacio stets als Schutzhafen vor den unberechenbaren Witterungs- und Strömungsbedingungen in der Straße von Bonifacio angesteuert wurde. Es gibt ebenfalls den Blick auf die mit Häusern bebauten weißen Kalk- und Sandstein-felsen frei, an denen das Meer seit Jahrtausenden ununterbrochen nagt, so dass sich Grotten bildeten, die ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel sind. Im Westen der Altstadt liegt der alte Meeresfriedhof (Cimetière marin de Saint-François), der beinahe den Charakter einer eigenen kleinen Stadt aus unzähligen Mausoleen und Familiengruften aufweist.
Die einzigartige Lage machte die Stadt immer wieder zum Zentrum kriegerischer Auseinandersetzungen, weshalb sie im Laufe der Zeit zu einer Festung ausgebaut wurde.
Die Grotten sind Ziel der vom Hafen aus organisierten Bootsfahrten, während der auch die Klippen vom Meer aus bewundert werden können. Von dort gut zu sehen ist auch die sogenannte Treppe des Königs von Aragon, deren Stufen in den Stein gehauen von der Oberstadt bis zum Meer führen.
Entlang der Klippen bietet sich eine Wanderung von Bonifacio aus in Richtung Südosten bis zum südlichsten Punkt Korsikas an, dem Capo Pertusato. Von dort eröffnet sich eine schöne Aussicht auf die Stadt.
Die Gastronomiebetriebe im Hafen sind auf die Zubereitung fangfrischen Fisches spezialisiert.
Das bei jedem Wetter gut geschützte Hafenbecken liegt am Ende der schmalen „Calanque“ und bietet daher Segelyachten keine Gelegenheit zum Kreuzen. Die Einfahrt selbst ist schwer auszumachen, die Häuser der Altstadt auf dem Plateau im Osten sind gut zu erkennen.
Gut erkennbar ist der weiße, viereckige Turm mit dem Wohngebäude des Leuchtturms auf Cap Pertusato, der von Süden und Westen zu sehen ist. Aus Norden kommend, ist der weiße Leuchtturm mit schwarzer Galerie auf Cap de Feno die beste Landmarke. An den Klippen unterhalb der Altstadt sind der restaurierte Wachturm und in den Fels gehauenen Treppen (Treppe des Königs von Aragon) zu sehen.

Reconstruction à l'identique en 1957-58 de la maison rococo construite en 1755 et détruite par un bombardement en 1944.
The plantation hospital was reconstructed in 2002. Because each enslaved person was an asset with a monetary value, and because each had the ability to produce income for the plantation owner, a hospital was vital to the operations of the plantation- untreated injuries and untreated contagious illnesses would have a ruinous effect on the operation of the plantation.
During the early 1920s, the original hospital structure was used by a church known as Galilee Mission. The Mission was established by the Episcopal Church to serve Black residents of the area, some who were previously enslaved at Somerset Place plantation. The original hospital was destroyed by 1929.

korea gyeongbokgung
Gyeongbokgung, also known as Gyeongbokgung Palace or Gyeongbok Palace, is a royal palace located in northern Seoul, South Korea. First constructed in 1394 and reconstructed in 1867, it was the main and largest palace of the Five Grand Palaces built by the Joseon Dynasty. The name of the palace, "Gyeongbokgung," translates in English as "Palace Greatly Blessed by Heaven."
Heavily destroyed by the Japanese government in the early 20th century, the palace complex is slowly being restored to its original form prior the destruction. As of 2009, only 40% of the palace has been rebuilt.
History
The palace was originally constructed in 1394 by King Taejo, the first king and founder of the Joseon Dynasty, and the name "Gyeongbokgung" was created by an influential government minister named Jeong Dojeon. Gyeongbokgung was continuously expanded during the reign of King Taejong and King Sejong the Great, but the majority of the palace was burnt down during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592-1598).
During the regency of Daewongun in 1867, the palace buildings were reconstructed and formed a massive complex with 330 buildings and 5,792 rooms. Standing on 4,414,000 square feet (410,000 square meters) of land, it was a symbol of majesty for both the Korean nation and the seat of the Korean royal family. In 1895, after the assassination of Empress Myeongseong by Japanese agents, her husband, Emperor Gojong left the palace; since then, the Imperial family never returned to Gyeongbokgung.
From 1911, the Japanese government systemically demolished all but 10 buildings during the period of Japanese occupation of Korea and ultimately constructed the Japanese General Government Building for the Governor-General of Korea in front of the throne hall, Geunjeongjeon, in order to eradicate the symbol and heritage of the Joseon Dynasty.
At the end of World War II and the liberation of Korea, major buildings still on the site included Geunjeongjeon, the Imperial throne Hall (National Treasure No. 223), Hyangwonjeong Pavilion, Jagyeongjeon Hall, Jibokjae Hall, Sajeongjeon Hall, Sujeongjeon Hall, Gwanghwamun gate, and Gyeonghoeru Pavilion (National Treasure No. 224).

Rotes Haus (left) and & the Steipe at no. 14 Hauptmarkt (right). The Steipe was built originally in 1430, reconstructed in 1483, destroyed in WWII, reconstructed in 1970.
The Red House is on Dietrichstrasse on the market square in Trier. The house was built in 1684 by the master builder Wolfgang Stuppeler for the cathedral secretary Johann Wilhelm Polch. After its destruction in the Second World War on December 21, 1944, the house was rebuilt between 1968 and 1970. There is currently a café in the house. On the front of the house you can find the inscription:
"ANTE ROMAM TREVIRIS STETIT ANNIS MILLE TRECENTIS.
PERSTET ET ÆTERNA PACE FRVATVR. AMEN."
That means:
"Trier was one thousand and three hundred years earlier than Rome.
May it continue to exist and enjoy eternal peace."
These lines refer to the legendary founding of the city of Trier by Trebeta, a legendary Assyrian prince, first recorded in 1105.
At times the Steipe next door was also referred to as the “Red House”.
"The main market of Trier is the central and one of the largest squares in the city.
It is located in the historic city center directly in front of the cathedral city in today's Mitte/Gartenfeld district. The most important urban commercial streets come together here. In 958, Archbishop Henry I equipped the main market with the market cross as a symbol of sovereignty. The main market was a place for selling goods and trading in the medieval city.
Two thirds of the market conversion with houses from the Renaissance, Baroque, Classicism and Late Historicism have been preserved. Today, numerous large and representative urban buildings are characteristic, including the Hauptwache and the former cathedral hotel in the Neo-Renaissance style of German style. There is also the Steipe, a town house built around 1430 and (after complete destruction in the Second World War) rebuilt in the 20th century with the help of “creative monument preservation” (Dehio) and today the representative house of the city council as well as the Red House with the saying about the legendary founding Triers through Trebeta. The Church of St. Gangolf is only accessible from the market through a baroque gate and is otherwise completely rebuilt.
From the main market you can go through the Judenpforte into Judengasse and thus come to the former Jewish quarter of the city.
Trier (/trɪər/ TREER, German: [tʁiːɐ̯]; Luxembourgish: Tréier [ˈtʀəɪɐ]), formerly and traditionally known in English as Trèves (/trɛv/ TREV, French: [tʁɛv]) and Triers (see also names in other languages), is a city on the banks of the Moselle in Germany. It lies in a valley between low vine-covered hills of red sandstone in the west of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, near the border with Luxembourg and within the important Moselle wine region.
Founded by the Celts in the late 4th century BC as Treuorum and conquered 300 years later by the Romans, who renamed it Augusta Treverorum ("The City of Augustus among the Treveri"), Trier is considered Germany's oldest city. It is also the oldest seat of a bishop north of the Alps. Trier was one of the four capitals of the Roman Empire during the Tetrarchy period in the late 3rd and early 4th centuries. In the Middle Ages, the archbishop-elector of Trier was an important prince of the Church who controlled land from the French border to the Rhine. The archbishop-elector of Trier also had great significance as one of the seven electors of the Holy Roman Empire. Because of its significance during the Roman and Holy Roman empires, several monuments and cathedrals within Trier are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
With an approximate population of 110,000, Trier is the fourth-largest city in its state, after Mainz, Ludwigshafen, and Koblenz. The nearest major cities are Luxembourg City (50 km or 31 mi to the southwest), Saarbrücken (80 kilometres or 50 miles southeast), and Koblenz (100 km or 62 mi northeast).
The University of Trier, the administration of the Trier-Saarburg district and the seat of the ADD (Aufsichts- und Dienstleistungsdirektion), which until 1999 was the borough authority of Trier, and the Academy of European Law (ERA) are all based in Trier. It is one of the five "central places" of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Along with Luxembourg, Metz and Saarbrücken, fellow constituent members of the QuattroPole union of cities, it is central to the greater region encompassing Saar-Lor-Lux (Saarland, Lorraine and Luxembourg), Rhineland-Palatinate, and Wallonia." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.
Now on Instagram.
I finally reconstructed my joint/2nd Self-MOC, Valkyrion. This would be V3. Very apart from the previous ones, imo.

The new frame, classified as 'Susano'o' was based on battle data taken from the Zodiarch Nyctoria. That data also aided in the forging of the blade, 'Kusanagi', which is capable of damaging the Great Beings' spirits -- the only way to truly kill them -- with its 'Zanki Slash' (Light-Cutting Slash) ability.

The time is coming so close, I have working on new scenes and filming for the reconstructed film 'The White Raven" I had to change the name due to me losing a ton of my clips and what not and I am quite impressed with how a lot of the new scenes came out. This is my main project, I know I had another film coming out called "The Black Mamba" but due to the Roleplay sim closing down I quickly shut it down. So I am proud to say I am focusing fully on the White Raven, a brief description of the film. Its about a Pureblood witch by the name of Anya Peyroux showing her life before and after her arrest and sentence to a padded cell in St. Mungos. This film will be a 30 minute piece and will be one of SL's first black Harry Potter inspired film! I do want to thank everyone who influenced most of the Roleplay and thank those who encouraged me to continue with the film. Thank you so much!
Antonis Benakis, scion of one of the leading families of the Greek diaspora, was born in Alexandria in 1873. He was witness to the vibrant tradition of national benefaction which, from the earliest years of Greek independence, was so clearly manifest amongst the Greek communities abroad.
Benakis began his career as a collector in Alexandria, gradually reaching the decision to donate his collections to the Greek state, an idea which became reality after he settled permanently in Athens in 1926.
It is certain that Antonis Benakis, the founder of the Benaki Museum, was influenced by the example of his father Emmanuel Benakis (1843-1929). Emmanuel Benakis placed his fortune at the disposal of numerous charitable foundations.
During his lifetime, Benakis donated the museum he created to the Greek state. Of equal importance was his continuous involvement, until his death in 1954, in enriching and improving the organisation of the museum’s holdings, and his role in ensuring its financial security.
Originally built in 1190 as a fortress,in 16th century was reconstructed as a palace, and finally turned into a museum when Louis XIV moved to Versailles. The collections were property of royal family so public did not have open access to the museum. With imprisonment of the Louis XVI, on August 10, 1792 Louvre's collections were nationalized and people gained access to fine art of upper class. The event was the first display of democracy after French Revolution. To further expand the museum Francois Mitterrand in 1983, relocated Finance ministry from Richelieu wing. A Chinese-American architect, I.M Pie, who had designed National Gallery in Washington was invited to redesign the entrance. He came up with a transparent glass pyramid as the main entrance while creating a historic axis extending from Arc de Triumph to the museum. In a later phase he designed the inverted pyramid with a diameter which is 27% of main pyramid- exactly the same as proportion of equatorial diameter of moon to earth. The large pyramid is also 27% of main courtyard. The structure is filled with symbolism from Kepler's zodiac to Egyptian Pyramid's golden proportion, but not what Da Vince Code's writer claimed.
Category B listed historic public house originally constructed c. 1800 but reconstructed 1895-96.
"The New Town is a central area of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. A masterpiece of city planning, it was built in stages between 1767 and around 1850, and retains much of its original neo-classical and Georgian period architecture. Its best known street is Princes Street, facing Edinburgh Castle and the Old Town across the geological depression of the former Nor Loch. Together with the Old Town, the New Town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.
Edinburgh (/ˈɛdɪnbərə/; Scots: Edinburgh; Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Èideann [ˈt̪uːn ˈeːtʲən̪ˠ]) is the capital of Scotland and one of its 32 council areas. Historically part of the county of Midlothian (interchangeably Edinburghshire before 1921), it is located in Lothian on the Firth of Forth's southern shore.
Recognised as the capital of Scotland since at least the 15th century, Edinburgh is the seat of the Scottish Government, the Scottish Parliament and the supreme courts of Scotland. The city's Palace of Holyroodhouse is the official residence of the monarch in Scotland. The city has long been a centre of education, particularly in the fields of medicine, Scots law, literature, philosophy, the sciences and engineering. It is the second largest financial centre in the United Kingdom (after London) and the city's historical and cultural attractions have made it the United Kingdom's second most visited tourist destination attracting 4.9 million visits including 2.4 million from overseas in 2018.
Edinburgh is Scotland's second most populous city and the seventh most populous in the United Kingdom. The official population estimates are 488,050 (2016) for the Locality of Edinburgh (Edinburgh pre 1975 regionalisation plus Currie and Balerno), 518,500 (2018) for the City of Edinburgh, and 1,339,380 (2014) for the city region. Edinburgh lies at the heart of the Edinburgh and South East Scotland city region comprising East Lothian, Edinburgh, Fife, Midlothian, Scottish Borders and West Lothian.
The city is the annual venue of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. It is home to national institutions such as the National Museum of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland and the Scottish National Gallery. The University of Edinburgh, founded in 1582 and now one of four in the city, is placed 20th in the QS World University Rankings for 2020. The city is also known for the Edinburgh International Festival and the Fringe, the latter being the world's largest annual international arts festival. Historic sites in Edinburgh include Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the churches of St. Giles, Greyfriars and the Canongate, and the extensive Georgian New Town built in the 18th/19th centuries. Edinburgh's Old Town and New Town together are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, which has been managed by Edinburgh World Heritage since 1999." - info from Wikipedia.

Temple F is located right next to Temple E, built circa 550 BC. This temple may have been dedicated to the bacchanalian deity, Dionysos. It may have also contained the temple treasury.
This is what Temple E looked like before being reconstructed, seen on the left side.
Akhenaten's body was probably removed after the court returned to Thebes, and reburied somewhere in the Valley of the Kings, possibly in KV 55. His sarcophagus was destroyed but has since been reconstructed from fragments and displayed outside the Cairo Museum. Its reconstruction shows that it had representations of the queen Nefertiti, sculpted in high relief and extending protective arms at each corner of the monument in the likeness of the guardian goddesses of the four corners.
Amarna Period
I’ve heard that the sarcophagus is no longer in the museum yard, but has been moved somewhere...

Using what they had learned from the wall fragment (see two photos to the left), archaeologists and Texas Parks and Wildlife could identify colors, local pigments, and design features of the church of Espíritu Santo at the Misíon Nuestra Señora del Rosario in Goliad Texas. With some educated guesses, they could reconstruct features such as this font.
This Sullivanesque arch once decorated the entry of a two-story low-income housing development built by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1895 at 253 North Francisco Avenue in East Garfield Park. When the development was demolished due to neglect in 1974, the ornamental arch was salvaged and reconstructed for an apartment complex in Oak Park near Lake Street and Linden Avenue.

This image is reconstructed from several scans of the matte painting of the futuristic city scape used in both the first season "Taste of Armageddon" and the third season "Wink of An Eye." There has been some restoration and layering used to complete the panoramic reconstruction. Images of portions of this matte have appeared in reference books, but to my knowledge this one is wider than has ever been available or seen. I believe the detail on the right side (including the third wall) has not been seen before nor stitched together in this fashion.
The insertion area for the real studio wall and fountain / sculpture base and how it stands out from the matte painting can be seen on the right in an area that looks more beige (it does not line up perfectly).
This image is constructed from a photo and two film clips and retains some color and texture information that is sometimes difficult to recover from scanned film clips alone. The edges show the edge of the actual painting and what I believe to be clips holding it to a stand. The area where the image lightens around the edges is from film scans exclusively, while the central area with somewhat richer color has been augmented by colors from an archival print image where the hard set wall has been "matted" over the painting.
My sincere appreciation goes to super fan and collector Gerald G who provided images, inspiration, and even some restoration examples that convinced me this was a worthy thing to work on.
The portion of the painting used for broadcast in the episode Taste of Argmageddon, along with actors in front of the wall and the completed scene superpostion, can be seen here:

Bauhaus Dessau. Reconstructed interior of Director's office.
"Bauhaus Building
by Walter Gropius (1925–26)
The building was designed by the founder of the Bauhaus, Walter Gropius, and commissioned by the city of Dessau. The plans were drafted in Gropius’s private office – the Bauhaus did not have its own department of architecture until 1927. The interior fittings were made in the Bauhaus workshops. The city of Dessau financed the project and also provided the building plot.
Architecture behind glass
The design is a further development of an idea that Gropius had previously realised (pre-WWI) with the construction of the Fagus factory in Ahlfeld an der Leine. In both buildings a glass facade on the load-bearing framework allows a view of the interior workings. In the workshop wing in Dessau this provides clear view of the constructive elements. The design does not visually amplify the corners of the building, which creates an impression of transparency. Gropius designed the various sections of the building differently, separating them consistently according to function. He positioned the wings asymmetrically; the form of the complex can thus be grasped only by moving around the building. There is no central view.
Space for students and junior masters
The main elements of the complex are the glass-fronted, three-storey workshop wing, the likewise three-storey building for the vocational school and the five-storey studio building. The workshop wing and the vocational school are connected by a two-storey bridge which was used for administration purposes. Gropius’s private office was also located here until 1928. The workshop wing and the studio building are connected by a one-storey building in which the so-called festive area comprising auditorium, stage and canteen is located. The studio building housed students and junior masters in 28 studio flats, each measuring 20 m².
UNESCO World Cultural Heritage
The predominantly white facades of the complex form a perfect foil for the dark, imbedded glass windows. Internally, the construction of the building is highlighted by different colours on load-bearing and non-load-bearing elements.
In 1932 the school of design was forced to close as a result of pressure from the National Socialists, who had emerged victorious in the municipal elections.
During the war the complex was bombed, and the damage was at first only provisionally repaired. The building was then listed in 1972 and restored for the first time. Extensive renovation measures followed after the Bauhaus Building was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status. These were completed in 2006. The fact that it is once more a vibrant centre for experimental design, research and education is to be credited to the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, which was founded in 1994 and is committed to preserving, researching and passing on the illustrious heritage of the Bauhaus."
Myrtis is the name given by archaeologists to an 11-year-old girl from ancient Athens, whose remains were discovered in 1994–95 in a mass grave during work to build the metro station at Kerameikos, Greece. The analysis showed that Myrtis and two other bodies in the mass grave had died of typhoid fever during the Plague of Athens in 430 BC.
