Qumran is an archaeological site in the West Bank managed by Israel's Qumran National Park. It is located on a dry plateau about 1.5 km (1 mi) from the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea, near the Israeli settlement and kibbutz of Kalya. The Hellenistic period settlement was constructed during the reign of John Hyrcanus, 134–104 BCE or somewhat later, and was occupied most of the time until it was destroyed by the Romans in 68 CE or shortly after. It is best known as the settlement nearest to the Qumran Caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden, caves in the sheer desert cliffs and beneath, in the marl terrace. The principal excavations at Qumran were conducted by Roland de Vaux in the 1950s, though several later unearthings at the site have since been carried out.

This model features a large medieval themed city named Kargeth, which was made by a group of builders in the early days of Minecraft. The project focused on building a rich landscape featuring a variety of settlements, with the ultimate goal of creating a sprawling RPG adventure map.

Medieval City - Minecraft

Following the departure of the Romans in 410 CE villas in Britain are likely to have entered a period of decline and in some cases decay.  Subsequent settlers may have moved into the buildings and this model depicts a derelict villa occupied by Viking settlers - perhaps in the 8th Century CE.  The roof has fallen in and been replaced by a wooden structure and some of the walls have fallen.

This model will work well as a game asset and I have tested it in UE5.1 (download gltf and import the scene.gltf file into Unreal.  You are free to use it in any way.

The Complex of Hué Monuments is located within the Thua Thien-Hue Province in the geographical center of Vietnam. Established as the capital of unified Vietnam in 1802, Hue was not only the political but also the cultural and religious center under the Nguyen dynasty until 1945. The Hué Monuments Complex has suffered from the effects of wars, as well as modern development and expanding human settlements.

The rhesus macaque (*Macaca mulatta*) is native to South, Central, and Southeast Asia and has the widest geographic range of all non-human primates. They occupy a great diversity of altitudes and a great variety of habitats, from grasslands to arid and forested areas, but also dwell close to human settlements.

[**Museum Village Düppel**](https://bit.ly/3q58lnq) is a seasonal open-air museum. It presents visitors with a reconstruction of an approximately 800-year-old village. The site of this former settlement has now been reconstructed with residences, storehouses, workshops, fields and gardens.

1967 marked the start of archaeological excavations in southwest Berlin. They revealed evidence of building foundations and farmyards of a village from the period just before 1200. Thanks to experimental archaeology, it was possible to rebuild the medieval village on the settlement’s original site. The village has developed into a widely recognised centre for experimental archaeology.

Cuween Hill Chambered Cairn, near Finstown, Mainland, Orkney, is a late Neolithic (c.3200-2300 BC) 'Maes Howe'-type tomb.  The tomb is located on the side of the hill and the floor is cut into sandstone bedrock.  The chambers are constructed from fine dry-stone walling with corbelled roofs.  The mound measures c.55 feet in diameter and the main chamber is 8 feet 6 inches tall.

The tomb was partly excavated by James Cursiter in 1888 and more extensively investigated by Malcolm M. Charleston in 1901.  The tomb contained at least 8 burials and the skulls of 24 dogs.  The latter may have been a totemic animal, but they were probably deposited in the Bronze Age rather than the Neolithic.  The tomb sites above the Neolithic settlement site of Stonehall, which was excavated by Prof Colin Richards in the 1990s. 

This site is managed by Historic Environment Scotland and is open to the public.  For more information see CANMORE: http://canmore.org.uk/site/2059

**As the wind of progression blew over the Viking settlement of Novgorod, Christianty quickly filled the minds and hearts of the town folk. Pagan traditions were banished and pactitioners such as druids and seeresses faced endless ridicule, exile and often worse. As was the fate of the misfurtonate seeress Ganna, when she was roughly evicted out of the city, robbed of possessions, family, and dignity. Ganna swore of mankind and settled on top of a tall hill, far from - but always overlooking mankind that wronged her so. Desperation and loneliness quickly drove her cursed soul mad and she sought friendship and connection to the crows that never left her side. Still practicing dark magic she potters around the hill of Ganna daily, feeding the birds, catching fish and writing down everything she knows in scrolls and books in hopes that one day, someone will read them, will connect again, will accept again. But until that day, her birds will have to suffice.**

One of the most interesting buildings of the unfinished Vienna-Wroclaw motorway in the vicinity of Brno is a motorway bridge located southwest of Ostopovice. On both sides there is only front side walls of the bridge with a free space within the body of a highway. The photographically very interesting building is frequently visited and the local youth and hosts occasional social events. Nearby is an information board of the local nature trail. The bridge is now part of a municipal nature park, which includes local small woods, an extensive gardening colony and cottage settlement.

**Material:** Ceramic

**Dimensions:** 26 x 30,5 cm

**Dating:** 800 - 451 BCE

Fragment of a medium-fired firedog (moon idol) made of medium-coarse to coarse, brown to dark brown clay with a high proportion of small pebbles. The entire surface features sculpted decorations and incised ridges. 
The function of these ceramic artefacts is a matter of debate. Research shows that they are frequently found in Hallstatt-period settlements and burial grounds. Since the mid-19th century, two main theories have existed within the field of research. It may be a typologically and functionally defined object, such as a fire dog for roasting. However, it could also be an object from a ritual context.

This object was digitized through the ‘Kulturerbe digital’ program of the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, Public Service and Sport.

Modeled from images of a real specimen. The North Island Takahe (Porphyrio mantelli) was a large, flightless rail endemic to New Zealand’s North Island and is now extinct. It is believed to have declined following human settlement due to hunting and the introduction of predators such as rats and dogs, as well as habitat changes. Subfossil remains suggest it persisted into relatively recent history before disappearing. Base model created with AI tools, then sculpted/edited in Blender for scientific accuracy.
