Hey William,
While I'm all for Bible Ed materials, and I hope this one helps those who can download the plugins (I can't--machine too old/small/slow), I have a few blunt New York thoughts about the, shall we say,
hubris of the copy writer:
This interactive 3D model renders Solomon's Temple.
Well, not reeeeeeally. A 3D model is reeeeeeeeal difficult to put onto a 2D monitor screen. Oh, I know that 3D in graphics land refers to the
illusion of space as we know it, but ... it just ain't. And as for interactive, does that mean I could bring a sheep (I could get one from my brother, up in Vermont--he and his son raise them on the side) to the altar, hear it bleat, see it bleed and die, smell it burning, then, maybe, slosh around in the laver, have a bite of showbread, then peek behind the curtain and ... well that would be hard for my wife to explain to the cops from the 5-2 when they come to remove my fried carcass from my desk chair, now, wouldn't it?
It is carefully reconstructed even down to the most minutest detail.
Oh, a side order of
mangled English sets off the hubris nicely, don't you think?
Now after 2,500 years since the Temple was destroyed, you can once again experience its glory and beauty.
Wow, and to think poor Isaiah probably only had the beta release.
