kmt_sesh Posted June 12, 2011 #41 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Great idea for a thread, Pax. I discovered Google Earth some years ago and went absolutely nuts with it. I spent many hours hunting down significant historical sites in the Middle East and environs, so I could easily present a tediously long list. Don't worry, I won't. A sampling will suffice, however.
