I don't pretend that those are better than the sistine chapel, but it's a treasure that has no match in the world.

Enjoy.

Heh, my first thought was...

"The Sistine Chapel didn't even exist in 360 a.d. What the heck is he talking about?"

Me too. :)

Eirik, don't 'correct' the title. We like it that way.

I figured out click and drag to pan. How do you zoom?

Edit: Nevermind. Zoom buttons are on the bottom left.

If you have a scroll wheel on your mouse, that works the zoom as well.

That's the first thing I thought, too! :D

If you play Assassin's Creed 2 to the end you can wander around the Sistine Chapel and kill someone in it. The images are astoundingly crisp for a game.

As I recall there is a similar treatment of a cathedral in Valetta, Malta that is breath-taking.
