    Default gamegeek2's Google Earth Map of EB (and AtB)



    As sometimes even I get bored of work on EB and AtB...here's a little side-project I've been doing...

    I'll take requests to take shots of certain areas. I can only locate things via coordinates or if it's already plugged in there. I added a bunch of random Germanic tribes though to represent their historical locations.

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    You're worrying about that? What about the massive chalk symbols in southern Arabia? What do they depict? Who knows...

    Was it more or less pointless than this? (No offense intended Gamegeek )

    Oh I know it's pointless, but it's fun. It also helps me out with my geography (which is already good...but sometimes I tend to think of things in terms of EB...)

    Though I have not been able to update it in a long time, I spent a lot of time trying to get all the cities in that I could from EB1 and posted it as a minipreview, a while back.

    Last version I did can be downloaded here:
    ftp://europabarbarorum.org/EuropaBarbarorumSites.kmz

    edit: Cool, this was first posted within three months of Google Earth's first release.

    you're seeing things: I only see the harrah's in the southernmost portions of Arabia (on the map)

    @gamegeek: I see you picked the Akkadian pronunciation for modern-day al-madinah; why not the arabic yathribu?

    bah, its just technicality

    Would be a little early for arabic no? It think the best option would be to use Minean, but try finding that one!
