Once upon a time, in the far, far away land of Techgeeks lived two university pals named Larry Page and Sergey Brin. They spent long hours dreaming of a company that one day would be the biggest search engine in the world, offering mere mortals the opportunity to traverse the great plains of the planet without moving their lazy asses.

Information would be available at the touch of a square key and people could search for the most bizarre, beautiful, weird and wonderful images relayed by satellites dotted around the globe. This would make for a very happy life.

This is Google Earth.

  5. Yas Says:

    La figura del mono es parte de una serie de dibujos llamados “Las líneas de Nazca” echo por pre-incas en PERU.

  6. David Says:

    The monkey is from the Nazca Lines in Peru.

    Not a great valid source of mine but gives a roundabout picture.

  7. Marko Says:

    The image in the 6th picture, the triangle with the concentric lines is found in Nevada, US and represents an aerial view of a target for bomber planes practice. There are some 4-5 others simillar to it, in a radius of some 100 km.

    okay…that was slightly wierd and fake , well , some of it actually was.

  9. Charles Says:

    The one of the palm is an entire almost suburb, not just a hotel.

  10. Tips Photo Says:

    The Palm is EPIC! It’s three miles long and 3 1/3 miles wide. I can only imagine what relocating all that sand has done to the environment.

  18. JackAwful Says:

    #7 & #8 - I just can’t see ‘em.

  19. Felipe Says:

    Fools, the NAZCA monkey form its the oldest and antique.
    Perhaps its the well worked ovr the others,Nazca culture did the best job over the ground for be seen in the air.
    As a peruvian im not clapping, juts consider the less resources they had and culture age, miles and miles of years. Pionners!!!!!

    some students think thta was Alien intelligence cooperation as signalpad for any ship.
    If you investigate and check the lines. you can see have strange animal forms and strange human forms, like aliens and its pets.

    Number 6, the triangle with concentric circles in it, is a bombing range target in the Nevada desert. If you zoom into the scene down to about 1000 feet altitude or less, you can clearly see the bomb craters.

    triangle 3990 feet per face
    circle 1 radius 1000 feet
    circle 2 radius 800 feet
    circle 3 radius 600 feet
    circle 4 radius 400 feet
    circle 5 radius 200 feet

    The first picture of the Man in hat with cane looks just like the Blythefield Reservoir in Staffordshire, England. I have driven over that bridge many a time!

    The checker-board “forest” is more than likely a private tree plantation.
