1. Cool!

Google earth is one of the best time wasters out there, which is why I don't look at it that often...

2. It is also being used as a survey tool in archaeology. Aerial imagery reveals unknown

traces of past human activity to those with a trained eye, and some past evidence is apparent to anyone who looks.
