Google Maps finds Roman ruins
Computer programmer Luca Mori found the remains of an ancient Roman villa when he browsed Google Earth maps showing satellite images of his local area.
Can it find lost socks?

I'm sorry, but that is just freakin' awesome.
-
It really kinda is freakin' awesome.
-
Yeah, anything that can keep me working is fine by me.
-
Isn't that strange?
-
That's a lame graphic BBC used -- why not show the damn ruins?
-
Very cool story, thanks.
-
Extra lovin' to the monkey who can conjure up a photo.
-
Definitely freakin' awesome.
-
*awaits extra lovin'* (also, should be more images here but they don't seem to be loading properly at the moment...)
-
Goodwork mothninja! One bowl of extra-Lovin' comin' up!
-
Thanks to mothninja, I located it at 44 degrees 52'53.57" N, 10 degrees 25'21.65" E. Just in case you want to see it in Google Earth.

I'm waiting for Google Earth pix of crop circles.
-
lucky those ruins weren't 800m to the east (or right) where the pic is not nearly as clear. imagine what ruins lie beneath the pixelly bits!
-
Hey, was an explanation ever given for the unidentified objects in this thread?
-
Okay, that's just damn cool.
-
I finally downloaded Google Earth and checked it out. I am geeking out like it's Caps Lock Day.
-
nice, very nice *peers and scans
-
mothninja = my new Queen *bows low in the ancient fashion*
-
*waves regally* *gets the giggles*
-
Oh, and also, Monkeyfilter: I am geeking out like it's Caps Lock Day.
