When Google Earth was first introduced more than twenty years ago, it filled many people around the world with a sense of wonder. Never before had the planet seemed so accessible to anyone with internet access. And the legends began. One of the most incredible stories to emerge in this new era of digital empowerment, in my opinion, is that of Saroo Brierley, a young boy who was reunited with his birth family thanks to Google Earth, after having been separated from them at age five. If you are intrigued by the mysteries and enigmas unlocked by this incredible web tool, buckle up to explore and collaborate with like-minded souls via this fascinating community. Home in on Mysterious offshore installations, abandoned urban areas, subterranean Viking vessels and other ancient structures.
