#NEWPALMYRA (Also known as the New Palmyra Project) is an effort to reconstruct the ancient city of Palmyra as an immersive virtual environment, based on archaeological and other clues. The project was started from photos Bassel Khartabil had been taking of Palmyra since 2005. He began building models of the ancient city, with support from . In 2012, Khartabil was arrested, and the original project and open source files were lost. Barry Threw took over as director of the project, renamed #NEWPALMYRA, and a community of developers, modelers, and archaeologists began collaborating to model, restore, and later recreate from scratch those historical structures captured on film and camera.

Barry Threw took over as director of the project, renamed #NEWPALMYRA, and a community of developers, modelers, and archaeologists began collaborating to model, restore, and later recreate from scratch those historical structures captured on film and camera. In 2015, ISIL captured Palmyra and began destroying some of its famous historical sites. In late 2015, the Institute for Digital Archaeology began contributing to the New Palmyra Project, sending archaeologists with cheap 3D cameras to capture any further structures that ISIL might decide to destroy.

  • New Palmira Project (Nuovo Progetto Palmira), anche noto come #NEWPALMYRA, si propone di ricostruire l'antica città di Palmira in un ambiente virtuale ed immersivo, basandosi su dati archeologici. Bassel Khartabil, dopo aver dato avvio al progetto con la pubblicazione delle foto scattate a Palmira dal 2005, gli ha fornito un impulso più che decisivo con la creazione dei modelli dell'antica città siriana, resa possibile grazie al supporto di . Nel 2012, Bassel è stato arrestato, e il progetto originario e i files open source, sono andati persi. Barry Threw si è preso carico della direzione del progetto rinominandolo «#NEWPALMYRA» e una comunità di sviluppatori, modellatori ed archeologi ha iniziato a collaborare per modellare, ristabilire e ricreare ex novo le antiche strutture già filmate e fotografate. Nel 2015 l'ISIS ha preso possesso della città e ha iniziato un'opera di distruzione del famoso sito archeologico. Alla fine dello stesso anno l'Institute for Digital Archaeology ha iniziato a contribuire al New Palmira Project dotando un gruppo di archeologi di fotocamere 3D e incaricandoli di documentare quelle strutture che l'ISIS potrebbe decidere di distruggere.
