ANE Site Placemarks for Google Earth

<p>ANE.kmz is a set of site placemarks for Google Earth of a selection of the most important archaeological sites in the Ancient Near East. ANE.kmz works with Google Earth Pro, which first has to be downloaded for free. When opened inside Google Earth Pro, ANE.kmz gives, to the left, an alphabetic list of ancient sites and, to the right, on the satellite images the same sites marked. For the moment, there are some 2500 sites with modern names; among them some 400 have ancient names. Additions of more sites are planned. Ancient names are written without parenthesis. Modern names are within parenthesis. Most sites have been identified on the satellite images.</p> <p>ANE Waters.kmz is an experimental set of provisional water placemarks for Google Earth covering Mesopotamia up to modern time.</p> <p>ANE Picture.jpg is just illustrating the appearence of ANE.kmz before zooming in and is not for use.</p>
