Earth is a powerful software tool that enables you to look at the world
top-down, using satellite images.
Though
not "in real time", it’s a great tool
for anyone interested in Archeology/ Ancient History. Especially
for those interested in Ancient Egyptian History.
Since
the ancient Egyptians built in stone, a lot of their monuments are still
visible, still stand.
(As
compared to for example ancient Sumerian, Mesopotamian architecture that has
often disappeared, since the ancient Sumerian didn’t use stone)
