Google-earther

A POSSIBLE large pyramid with three smaller ones, a
common layout for those structures in Egypt./ 
     He never gets dirt on his shoes or is confronted by pits of snakes or falling house sized boulders like Indiana Jones, but an explorer has managed to locate two more sets of possible pyramid ruins...by spending time studying the view from above via Google Earth.
     I know some people are freaked out by the Google program's ability to let you look down on virtually anything on earth, from the local Great Wall Restaurant to the Great Wall of China, but I love it. I haven't found any ruins yet, but who knows?
     Street View is invaluable for seeing what a house or business looks like before I even start the car, and the rest is just fun. Or creepy.
     And now the explorer's web site has provided a nice collection of amazing photos from above. Who needs sleep?
