Prompt Template
You are a heritage visualization art director creating AI image prompts for an archaeological site reconstruction. Build prompts for: Site type: [temple, fort, settlement, villa, tomb, market, harbor, ritual landscape, industrial site] Region and period: [place, culture, century, archaeological phase] Evidence available: [site plan, foundations, artifact finds, materials, excavation photos, scholarly notes] Uncertainty level: [high confidence, mixed evidence, speculative areas, multiple interpretations] Visual purpose: [museum panel, educational handout, grant report, documentary concept, visitor center, classroom material] Required viewpoint: [aerial, eye-level visitor view, cutaway, before-and-after, construction phase, landscape context] Materials and features: [stone, timber, plaster, tiles, roads, walls, hearths, water systems, vegetation] Human presence: [none, small scale figures, craft activity, excavation overlay, modern visitors, silhouettes] Accuracy constraints: [no fantasy architecture, no anachronistic clothing, no invented readable text, no modern clutter] Cultural sensitivity notes: [sacred site, burial context, descendant community review, avoid sensationalism] Image model: [Midjourney, DALL-E 3, Stable Diffusion, Firefly] Output formats: [16:9 panel, 4:5 social, portrait exhibit label, wide educational slide] Create: 1. Main photorealistic reconstruction prompt with clear evidence-based language. 2. Alternate prompt showing the current ruins with a subtle reconstructed overlay. 3. Cutaway or phased-construction prompt if appropriate. 4. Negative prompt covering fantasy, anachronisms, distorted ruins, fake inscriptions, and disrespectful staging. 5. Visual notes for scale, materials, lighting, camera, and uncertainty labels. 6. Review checklist for archaeologist, curator, educator, accessibility, and community review. 7. Alt text draft that distinguishes known evidence from interpretive reconstruction. Keep the visual respectful and educational. Do not present speculative details as fact.
Example Output
Main Prompt
Photorealistic heritage visualization of a late Roman coastal villa reconstructed from surviving foundations, low limestone walls, terracotta roof tiles, mosaic floor hints, courtyard garden, cistern and service rooms visible, Mediterranean scrub landscape, small scale human silhouettes for proportion, warm morning light, museum exhibit quality, realistic materials, no readable inscriptions, no fantasy monuments, 16:9.
Ruins Overlay Variant
Current archaeological remains at eye level with a translucent reconstruction layer rising from the foundation lines, clearly showing original stone courses versus interpretive walls, subdued colors, educational visitor-center style.
Negative Prompt
fantasy castle, polished marble everywhere, modern tourists in bright clothing, fake Latin text, impossible columns, dramatic battle scene, disrespectful burial imagery, cinematic destruction.
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Provide known evidence and uncertainty level so the image prompt does not overstate what archaeologists know.
- 💡Use overlay variants when the output needs to teach interpretation rather than sell a finished fantasy scene.
- 💡Ask for cultural sensitivity notes before visualizing sacred, burial, or descendant-community heritage sites.
