The plus achieved by the reconstruction through the Computer Animation (3D) of this amazing temple, of the Avatar of Archimedes and its gigantic boat and by the rest of the Historical Narration is surely attractive for the scholastic groups who will compare themselves with this new high technologic and suggestive didactic outfit.
