When I first read this headline I thought: Cool! An ancient Google Earth map! Wouldn’t that be something? We could zoom in on the Zapotecs’ backyards, check out the size of their swimming pools, hazard a guess at the square footage of the Ramos’ versus the Castro’s place, keep an eye on the encroaching developers… FUN! No, seriously, who ever thought anything like this would be possible?
