New York will also be blessed with a replica constructed
using the world’s biggest 3D printer.
The monument fell victim to ISIS militants who stormed
Palmyra earlier this year and destroyed historic sites.
But a 15 metre high arch, which stood in one of the the
temples, survived.
The arch is around 2,000-years-old.

Dr Alexy Karenowska, director of technology at the Institute
for Digital Archaeology, said: ‘The aim of our proposed installation is to draw
attention to the global crisis surrounding the looting and despoliation of
cultural heritage objects and architecture and the importance of celebrating
the beauty and significance of these objects to the everyday lives of modern
people.’
