AFAIK yes, it was: right now i'm reading some historic book/chapter dedicated to Carthage. There is said that only Alexandreia had more or approx the same number of inhabitants as Punic (not Roman)Carthage. Is it true that Carthage was bigger than Rome? (inhabitants - wise)

Yeah, i feel like i would go CRAZY in airplane... Never tried to fly though, but i derive that conclusion from the fact that i'm afraid of heights in RL. that's pretty tight, wish there was more though. it would be awesome to be there in its prime. i heard that whole area still has problems because of all the salt the romans spread on it after they destroyed it

And about "salt issue": i'm not 100% sure about that stories: somewhere i've read that this thing about salt is pompous myth and... BLAH
i shuld stop now because i can't express myself in english well 
That's nice stuff, my fellow R... ;)
I know it's incredibly hard to bring something from a photo or a plan into a 3D model, let alone to recreate something like an ancient city just from the scarce material you have!
OK I flew some ~70 times now and I can tell you, it has nothing to do with height! Not even if you sit at the window (which I dearly recommend). Also, it's everytime great for me. I'm not sure why, but it thrills me in a very positive way. It's fun! And don't be afraid, all these noises and forces and the rattling of the cabin interior are just great.

You never tried but restrict yourself from visiting Carthage because of having "aviophobia"?Yeah, i feel like i would go CRAZY in airplane... Never tried to fly though, but i derive that conclusion from the fact that i'm afraid of heights in RL.
