Just to make this clear: I haven't won WOGE 78, I just want the game to keep going.
The rules:
Q: What is When on Google Earth?
A: It’s a game for archaeologists, or anybody else willing to have a go!
Q: How do you play it?
A: Simple, you try to identify the site in the picture.
Q: Who wins?
A: The first person to correctly identify the site, including its major period of occupation, wins the game.
Q: What does the winner get?
A: The winner gets bragging rights and the chance to host the next When on Google Earth on his/her own blog!
Here it is, WOGE 79:
Have fun and good luck!
As per Alun's suggestion here's a zoomed-out picture. I'm going to continue to zoom out or give hints (in the comments) until someone gets it:
Well, is nobody playing anymore or is it just too dificult?
AntwortenLöschenperhaps a small hint?
AntwortenLöschenOK,
AntwortenLöschenwe're in Central Europe and close to the coast.
New Tip:
AntwortenLöschenWe are in Northern Germany
Have you thought of zooming out step by step until someone gets it?
AntwortenLöschenHi Alun,
AntwortenLöschenindeed I have, but I didn't think anyone paid any attention anymore...
OK, this tip should enable you to solve it: we're dealing with a western Slavic structure
AntwortenLöschenThe Slavs in question were Obotrites and probably Wagrians
AntwortenLöschenIt's the 'Oldenburg Wall' 7th/8th century, the centre of power for the Abodrite tribe in the Wagrian region. we've popped in a few times over the past few months and your last hint finally got it for us...
