Comparison between the restructuring of the Second Temple and Parthenon

The essay topic that involves the second temple is: The Second Temple of Jerusalem, Judea, destroyed by the army of General Titus in 70 AD: Several three-dimensional models have been made to reconstruct the lost temple. In an essay, consider the challenge involved in creating a facsimile of an ancient monument when nothing significant of the original survives. Investigate how models have been made based on written descriptions of the original (for instance, Josephus, The Jewish Wars). If you wish, you may compare the temple reconstruction with a contrasting example of your choice, in which digital imaging technologies are being used to create virtual reproductions of a monument that survives in part or for which visual documentation exists.
