About Heritage Key Virtual

'Heritage Key Virtual' is the Flickr group for snapshots from Heritage Key's virtual world areas.

The best way to get an understanding of a historical site of course is to visit it in person. Unfortunately it's not practical to visit some historical attractions due to their current fragility or dis-repair, or their great distance both in space and time. Pictures only get us half way there to an experience of these wonders. Heritage Key is busy creating 3D representations of these sites of historical significance in a virtual world of their own.

-- Scope of the Heritage Key Project --

Heritage Key's err... key focus, is from first cave painting, about 35,000 BC, until Justinian I finished the Hagia Sophia, the 6th century AD. But there are exceptions, especially if you look beyond our 'European' definition of what is ancient. For instance we do consider the great Machu Pichu to be part of the 'Ancient World'. When in doubt, you can always contact one of the group admins.

-- And the group admins are... --

This group has been created by the Heritage Key Team (Jon, Meral, Ann, Prad ...) and we will moderate the content.
