More at [konquest.nomis80.org] – Image at [maps.google.com]While searching around his hometown in Google Earth, Luca Mori stumbled on what looked like the meanders of an ancient river.

He led further analysis only to convince himself that these shadows could be nothing else than a human construction.

Awsome, now that is the ultimate armchair archaeology!
Shame there’s no Google Earth for Linux or Mac, have to stick with Google Maps instead..

Well, there’s always NASA’s World Wind program, which is apparently open source.
OK, it doesn’t have the very high resolution stuff but it does have different bands.

Bother.. I’ve just noticed that cross-platform stuff isn’t due until version 1.5, which is still only in planning.
