Nice find!

Yes Mike - I had considered that the StarCiv might have had the means of somehow making water 'still'. By that, I mean they had some way of making water stay in place i.e. not flow like water normally does. As bizarre as it sounds, this would have allowed a canal system to be on hills, mountains etc...

when you click the download icon, choose 'save file...', and download. Then go to wherever your downloaded files are stored, double click the The_Catalogue.KMZ file and it will launch GE and ask you at the end of your session whether to save it into GE or discard it. Hope that helps.

However, I would now call Budapest ' The City of Colosseums ' - there are a huuuge number of them. Including a giant one. And I mea...

P.S. Please someone teach me hot to properly share the points and lines. When using GoogleEarth, wherever your 'hand' pointer is on the map, press CTRL+SHIFT+C and the coordinates are copied. Then right click mouse and paste into whichever application you want. I'll check out your areas of interest...

It's becoming more apparant, daily, that the Field System was not for growing crops per se . There would have been a lot less people back then, so the super-abundance of fields worldwide would have been massive overkill if they were for producing food. I have recently found many instances of 'mini-f...

I'm not ignoring this - I simply have no idea how to fix it
