Google Earth downloads

This page has been set up as a place to host placemark files of interest to Earth Energy enthusiasts. The first section contains useful links on external sites; the lower sections contain placemarks created by our members. You will of course require Google Earth to view these. Get it here: http://earth.google.com (note that Google Earth requires a hi-spec machine and broadband connection). The files are also compatible with Google Maps. Email your finished placemark files to: eegevents (at) britishdowsers (dot) org and we'll host them for you here (Note: email address disguised to fool spambots).

Some essential placemarks to get you started. If you come across any more of interest, please let us know.

The Megalithic Portal Fantastic collection of over 18,000 megalithic sites around the globe. Very processor hungry when all are loaded, but there are options to download regional 'blocks' instead.
The Modern Antiquarian Julian Cope's database of UK and Eire sites. Complementary to the TMP placemarks, and contains some sites not listed in the other one.
Becker-Hagens UVG World Grid This one is a must - the complete Unified Vector Geometry 'Earthstar' world grid by Bethe Hagens.
Megalithic Guernsey This only covers the Channel Island of Guernsey, but it contains a few sites not covered in the Megalithic Portal placemark.

UK leys and alignments project

One of the most frequent questions we get asked is, "where can I get a map of UK leys?" Well, with your help we will eventually create a UK-wide alignment database that you can view in Google Earth. GE versions 4 and above allow you to not only mark places, but also draw your own paths between them. This means that you can effectively map out alignments between sites using Google Earth, then share them as placemark (KML/KMZ) files. If you want to get involved in this, you might want to click here for a Google tutorial on line plotting. Submit your placemarks to us using the email address above and we'll host them here.

Here are some to get you started. If you already have Google Earth installed, hese should load Google Earth and open when you click on the link; however some browsers might require you to right-click on the link and save the file to your machine, then open it from the 'File/Open' menu in Google Earth.
These files are network links so they will automatically update in GE whenever a new version of the file is available. You only have to download them once!
