Whether you’re a trained archaeologist, an independent researcher or just somebody with a passing interest in history, Google Earth really is an incredible research tool. We can view any part of the world in superb detail and the satellite pictures that make up this interactive globe are updated year after year – sometimes twice a year – and as well as seeing the planet as it appears today, we can also scroll back through the archive, and compare different parts of the planet through time.
The great thing about Google Earth is that its accessible to everyone – we can all get involved – and there is a growing community of researchers on Twitter. I have a friend who runs a Twitter account called ‘Globespotter’ and it’s because of his account I’m making this video.
Watch this video to learn more about spotting ancient, historic and natural anomalies on Google Earth, and how to become a ‘Globe Spotter’ yourself.

It's not pre pottery. or pre agriculture……It was once wrongly considered pre pottery, but not anymore…
Yeah, but it's Twitter which has descended into the abyss of link bombing to prove other people wrong. This guy needs his own website with a blog-like format so the discussions can take place in a centralized place.
Art seeable from very close up and around us and very high up as per e.g. google. Slightly cacky eyes see it a bit easier/sooner, I reckon.
Hallo everybody
I'm surrounded by these in South Wales I use Lidar before I check them out. Mound-life
7:37 almost looks like a modern cemetery
8:07 that's HUGE
Here's one of my faves…a modern land sculpture that people in the future might ponder on. 18° 31' 45.57" S 70° 14' 59.73" W
I love to google Earth abandoned ships and megalithic sites etc. My wife thinks WHY?? 🤔I don't know.
I'm becoming more and more frustrated with all the hiding of areas by the site to a point I'd rather start looking for drone videos instead. Disappointing to say the least.
I’ve been researching lidar recently? Along the Avon valley near Christchurch where I grew up. The valley is steeped in mythology. St Catherines hill has link to a Celtic goddess? I thought I found a temple complex near bisterne manor near ringwood. But near by that looks to be a Roman or Iron Age fort? even a enclosure that looked like a Saxon great hall? Remote sensing said it wasn’t but I disagreed. It still very ambiguous? I even managed to see the foundation trenches to the priory on st Catherines hill. In Christchurch. Looks like they planned to have a apse at one end? Right where the communication tower is where the cross arms would have been or potential spire? Just because I’m a curious guy I had a look where my daughter lives. There seem to be a motte and Bailey castle where she lives in colehill, Wimborne? They must of thought me nuts? I had to check and check again. There seamed to be crop marks? As the Avon was of cultural significance for thousands of years? It has one of the oldest settlements in the British isles located at hengistbury head. I’ve grown up surrounded by history. You could say I follow in my ancestors footsteps? There were a few greats among them?
Yeh, been finding thousands of crazy stuff. Wish there was people that wanting to invest in real investigations of places.
Can you explain to me why there are no pictures of Antarctica taken from space anywhere? I would like to see the whole continent in one real photo. There is one picture made of several taken from a polar satellite. I also can't find any video of the polar satellite flying along the meridian. Why is it like that?
What an outstanding discussion of methods for research.
After several minutes of Mongolia I’m remembering that line from The Money Pit where everyone drives up and asks “You catch missles here?”
on google maps you can also see sort of roads from Peru coast toward the east, 30 a 35m in width which make straight lines on hills what is pretty weird
Can Lidar be used in the Sahara like it is in Central and South America?
Egypt is not the oldest civilization. This planet has been built and destroyed time and time again for many millennia.
that was mesmerizing… that gallery at the end kind of hypnotized me.
So what do you think the age of Gobekli Tepe is Matt ?
When was "Fan Vaulting" first used ?
love it heading over to support globespotter
Excellent video. Thank you for working so hard to upload this fascinating and educational vid.
some of the circle is look like remnant dynamite to find oil
25*38'56"N 16*49'58"E sorry unable to access degree symbol.
Is there any kind of Lidar archive? They may be handy to compare.
