When one thinks of ancient ruins, images of dilapidated monuments, half-standing columns and crumbling steps generally come to mind.

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.
