CHESTER CASTLE 18th Century (Unity5)

[@spangola]

Breathtaking!! It would be great to see a walk through over the bridge and into Lower Bridge Street.

I guess I'm kinda off topic but does anyone know a good site to watch new tv shows online ?

[@Chesterman2023]

All you work is well worth the effort. Thank you so much. So fascinating.

The opening shot was so beautiful and of course, all that followed. Great work!

[@jontalbot1]

Very well done

[@alanmackinnon3516]

Brilliant video, it would be fantastic if you could do more videos of the rest of Chester.

[@DextraVisual]

Thank you Alan. I will be doing some other areas of Chester in the future. I have done one for the Northgate just before the civil war.

[@alanmackinnon3516]

DEXTRAVISUAL I just find the videos are fantastic, the details of all the buildings are out of the world, it's like you are their.

[@ratridge]

[@DextraVisual]

Thanks Gary. I may do just that.

[@robm509]

Fantastic work. Love it!

[@DextraVisual]

Thank you Bob! Hey I read your Bass of Inverurie reconstruction blog. It would be amazing to see that in your style of illustration.

[@robm509]

I am glad you found it interesting. I am just about to get going with it but it'll have to be done in spare time, in between other projects so might take a while!

[@nickhowes5348]

[@EggnogonthebogProductions]

[@chrisjung3538]

👍👍👍👍👍 top

[@Andy-lm2zp]

I don't quite understand, visuals are amazing! It is like a major movie production, who did these?

[@fran87blacon]

You titled it wrong .... that was chester before the “great student invasion” lol Good job tho wish it still looked that way

[@wfr1108]

When Britain was still British. I wish I had this as a home to return to.

[@hazeshi6779]

I want to the same old Roman fort, or what it would have looked like before

[@user-sq9dv7ru7v]

No need for scaling ladders when there are climbable buildings against the curtain wall.

[@KHos73]

Wow, a game could be made from this! Have you thought about it? I could help you out, or you can sell it as a Unity asset.

[@DextraVisual]

Cheers Kimoshwaby. I just like to use Unity for historic reconstructions. The time and resources required to make this into a viable game is beyond what I would be able to commit. I have compiled some of my better FBX models and will definitely be putting them on the asset store next year.

[@KHos73]

Look forward to seeing more, do you have any stone age English models or know where I can acquire these? I am willing to pay you for those.

[@DextraVisual]

Sorry I don't have any stone age assets. There is an iron age village with loads of props on the asset store that looks pretty good. I think it was around £20

[@KHos73]

Many thanks, that does look nice but there screenshots on the store are dark, can't see much :( so not sure of the quality. Do you know if Stonehenge was part of the iron age , why do I think stone age?

[@DextraVisual]

I think of Stone age as the era of stone tools and implements, but Stonehenge being part of the early Bronze age. I think between bronze and iron age, hut construction and living standards would look much the same to us.

The elliptical building in Fortress Dewa is a Temple of the Zodiac. Or more precisely, it was a Vesica Piscis shape and therefor a Temple of Pisces. (Note: the precessional Great Month of Pisces began in AD 10.) So where else in the Empire do we find precessional zodiacs? Ah yes, the Nazarene Jews venerated the zodiac in Judaea, which is why we get so many zodiacs in synagogues - like at Hamat Teverya and Huqoq in Galilee. And the Chester Temple of the Zodiac was designed in Egyptian royal cubits - the same measurement system used by the Jews, as it says in the Torah. Ok, so now we know what the Chester fortress really was for. It was a vast 1st century Guantanamo Bay, built by Emperor Vespasian to hold the dangerous rebel leaders from the Jewish Revolt. (It was built a year after the Revolt ended.). Rome wanted to keep these rebel leaders (the kings and princes of Adiabene-Edessa) as far from their power base in the East as possible. And they did not want to kill them, as happened with the British Druids, and spark a massive revolt like the Icenae Revolt, which happened only ten years previously. So they built Fortress Dewa; a Guantanamo Bay with a separate: accommodation block, exercise yard, bath house, and Temple of the Zodiac - to hold rebel leaders from the Jewish Revolt. Note: The elliptical Temple was destroyed in AD 110, after all the rebel leaders had died (of old age). But the eliptical Temple of the Zodiac was rebuilt in AD 222, after Emperor Elagabalus was deposed. Why? Because Elagabalus was a Galilean eunuch, and priest of the sacred Elagabal stone - and thus he was of exactly the same religion as the 1st century Galilean rebels of the Jewish Revolt. So the priests and administrators of Elagabalus’ regime (and Elagabalus himself?) were similarly exiled to Fortress Dewa. And to keep him and his religion happy, the Romans rebuilt the Temple of the Zodiac. And although it was a slightly different shape (fatter) it was again designed and built in Egypto-Israelite royal cubits. Ralph

The Railway Children. Edwardian Era Novel. Published in 1906. Regin of His Majesty King Edward the VII. Victoria's Son. One Rainy day in Yorkshire at Oakworth Station. The four children in the waiting room. Hope Mother doesn't get too wet. We don't want her ill again. Its like being in a sieged castle. The arrows & the bows striking agenist the battlements. Its more like a great big garden squirt. You're a great big garden squirt. Thank you. Stop it you two! There's a train coming. Oakworth Station. Its only a shower.
