Ancient Observatories

Wednesday May 10, 2006
From Space Imaging, a collection of satellite photographs of archaeological sites associated with astronomical observatories, including Abu Simbel, Angkor Wat, Dzibilchaltun, Machu Picchu and Pueblo Bonito among others. You can download a very high quality jpeg of the image or zoom to see the structures. Space Imaging sells images and vector data for satellite photographs.
