Abstract

The importance of building information modeling (BIM) technology is due to the fact that it is a technology that combines information and digital technology, which are two of the most important requirements in the field of archeology in the current era. Which is known as the information age and the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution in the form of a 3D model with all the information. There is also a common link between BIM and the sustainability, achieving economic efficiency, environmental performance and social responsibility. This paper discusses the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology in preserving archaeological buildings by recording and documenting archaeological buildings in 3D models, and using them in sustainable development by applying virtual archeology and reconfiguring buildings or artifacts on the computer in specific periods. , and using them to virtual museums and cultural tourism for this heritage.
