Google Earth: Find the Archaeology
Find the Archaeology is a game on the Google Earth community bulletin board where people post an aerial photograph of an archaeological site and users figure out where it is. It looks like it might be fun to play, if you could find a listing of them, so here they are. The answer--if it's been discovered--will be in postings at the bottom of the page; sometimes in white lettering so if you see the words "in white" mouse over the next few spaces. Sign in to play.
