Nope, it's not Olympia.
Looks like any old farmland to me. I'm not even sure if the track in the lower right is the thing to watch, or the whassit in the upper left.
Perhaps a lifeline is in order here....Maybe just a teeny tiny clue??..Wadda ya say TA?
Not the foggiest. :laugh4:
A hint: it's a wonder, not in game currently, but previewed.
Site of the Nemean Games would be my answer.
Yep, it's Nemea. The stadium of course is in the bottom right, and the tunnel leads in the direction of the sanctuary (though the tunnel itself is short). You can see the temple of Zeus in the top left, with the columns casting shadows on the ground.
Number 4: Let's see if anyone can get this one - it is currently in the game:

EDIT: Found it!

But remember it's cheating to use it. 'sides, what would be left of the contest if you knew the coordinates anyway?

like Pyramids of Gebel Barkal I can't find them so if the coordinates are given it's much easier
I know it's sounds lazy but most of those names (in the google list) say nothing to me
After the right answer is given what I ask before it's just for my own list to complete because the list of google earth is a little bit incomplete in my list anywayQuote:

Yeah, most of these new ones aren't on that old list. I've got a new list that I'll upload at some point, with all these marked, but it's no fun to do that yet. Plus I saved a number of these jpg images a week or so ago and am too lazy to go and look up the coordinates and put them in one at a time here as people get them right. I'll upload the whole thing later.
No guesses on this one?
Ok thanks I appreciate thatQuote:

This game is way over my head but i like it
Stonehenge! What, that's not it!? There's a circle, and there's stones. Or something. I have no clue.
You know what aggravates me...I know for a fact that i ran into TA's latest pic while i was hunting for the previous one that turned out to be Nemea. Now i can't find the damn thing....Aaarrgghh!! :wall:
The terrain gives a lot away if you stop and think about what is being shown in the pic.
Lets see. It's deserty, but with some small trees/brush. The roads aren't very well developed and are mostly dirt roads. Very primative town around it. Looks like some sort of hill fort/town, maybe Arab? But it looks to green from Yemen...
Looks African to me. Somehow all those squarish buildings remind me of them adobe-looking houses in Morocco overlooking the souk. That thing looks too small to be a citadel, though, for all its unnaturally round shape.
COnclusion: I have no clue. *bow*
Its Siwa I think.
I was looking at that on Google maps a few months ago :)
Siwa is right (i.e., the Ammonion in the Libyan desert)! You can see all the palm trees around it (it's in an oasis after all), and the main citadel in the bottom left of the image.
Ok, here's the next one, a bit easier!

Lots of columns & symetrical formal layout, Persepolis! :yes:
Easy indeed. That's Persepolis.
Yep..that's it...good job, two in a row for you...damn you...:beam:
Darnit. That'll teach me to leave a window open for ages whilst browsing before repyling. :shame:
Yep, that's an easy one.
Persepolis was too easy, eh? Ok, how about this one - should be quite tricky indeed if not downright evil:

I don't know. A stupa?
I believe it's the Dharmarajika Stupa in present day Pakistan.
Grrr. Well, I would've gotten away with it if it weren't for you blasted kids!
Right you are Lysander. I see I'm gonna have to make this harder still:
