  • Most international travel is on hold because of COVID-19.
  • Expedia created GIFs that show how ancient ruins would have looked in their prime.
  • Countries around the world have banned American tourists from entry, so virtual travel will have to do for now.

The coronavirus has put travel on hold for the foreseeable future, but there are still ways to see the world and scratch that travel itch. Expedia commissioned artists to create GIFs showing how seven ancient wonders looked in their prime, and the results are fascinating. 

US residents probably won't be taking international vacations anytime soon. Most of the European Union, along with China, Japan, New Zealand, and others, have banned American tourists due to its ongoing struggle containing the coronavirus pandemic.

Back in March, Google Earth put together a list of 30 UNESCO World Heritage sites anyone could virtually visit and learn about. Now, Expedia's GIFs are expanding the virtual travel experience. 

The ruins of the Parthenon in Greece are restored to their full glory as a temple for the goddess Athena.
