Rising from the ruins...

An animated video has given an insight into how these structures might have looked today if they hadn't been destroyed.

This Is Render and Expedia have teamed up to give an idea of how seven ancient ruins would have looked in their heyday.

The video focuses on the Parthenon in Greece, Nohoch Mul Pyramid in Mexico, the Temple of Jupiter in Italy, Milecastle 39 in England, Luxor Temple in Egypt, the Pyramid of the Sun in Mexico, and Area Sacre Di Largo Argentina in Italy.

Located in Athens, Greece, atop the Acropolis, the Parthenon was dedicated to the goddess of wisdom, Athena.  

The temple's construction began in 447 BC and it was completed in 438 BC. At the time, it was larger and more grandiose than any temple constructed in Greece before.

It was made completely of marble, had 92 colorful rectangular panels near the top of the temple, an Ionic frieze running along the interior walls and a six-foot tall golden statue of Athena.
