Google Earth Quiz pt 2

Thinking back, the road layout looks too modern, too straight and well planned to be an ancient city like Jersusalem. Real head scratcher this one.

8 is in the Middle East and the Muslims on here should all know it well.
It featured in the news recently.

21 is linked with Muslims.

Bugger, 8's not Mecca is it. (which makes my earlier statement look a bit silly)

8 is Mina, nearby Mecca. Those are the pillars the Hajj Pilgrims throw stones at. Like in most recent years many died there in a crush.

What irritates me is when you turn the community features on, every noteable landmark in the world has up to 20 people pointing out what it is - why is that

I like to have some things pointed out but theres no point telling me 20 times 2mm apart that I'm looking at Big Ben surely?

If I left click I get 'Page not found' etc

Here are all the KMZ files in one ZIP - KMZ's
