Where can I find a picture of an original historical architecture plan?
I have an assignment at my architecture school to find a copy or a photogrphy of an architecture plan (construction of a building) older than the era between 750 ac - 1250 ac This plans are really rare and hard to find (they burned them all because the constuction of buildings was a highly protected secret then), I've been searching for 2 days and I'm really desperate. There are some maps in museum of Louvre but they are not exhibited and are not available for public.

- If you can use computerized images, you might try the image search engines of Google, Yahoo, or Ask.com For instance, see the results of an Ask.com image search: http://images.ask.com/pictures?q=ancient+architectural+plan&qsrc=2072&tool=img If your school has an architecture library, there might be slides of such plans you can use. At the very least the librarians there can tell you how to go about this.
