Google Earth is a well-known computer program that allows to visualize the multiple topography of the terrestrial surface based on satellite photographs. That is, google collects satellite photos and collects them to form a large planisphere. Thanks to this application from Google, we can see the world map in detail since there is practically a record of everyone so you can see the roof of any house.
In its latest version it was allowed to see some regions of the surface of the Moon and mass. In this article, we will see some of the most important scientific discoveries that were possible thanks to Google Earth.
5. fossil remains of mammals
Fossil remains of mammals were found in Africa; this discovery was made thanks to sanitary Masons who worked with limestone from Egypt. They found in one of them what appear to be a large skeleton.
Based on this finding, scientists from the university of Michigan decided to investigate further they explored Egypt with Google Earth, so they discovered the remains of ancient unknown things which resulted to be a site replete with fossils of small mammals of about 20 million years old. These fossils can contain essential information about ancient animal migrations between Africa and Asia
4. The Google Forest
known Mount Mambo, located in the north of Mozambique. This forest was known by the local inhabitants, but it was not registered in the maps, nor was it known to scientists.
After scanning the area with Google Earth scientists saw that it is a very special area in the field. Their surprise was capitalized when they discovered giant trees of about 45 metres high. They also found a new species of animals and plants as small and little oases of new knowledge.
3. Egyptian pyramid
The Nile Valley apparently reserves a fascinating discovery for a technologist. Thanks to Google Earth two separated structures were located for about 130 kilometres from each other.
In the beginning there were great opponents to this theory but the studies in the field and the recent renovations of old map gave truth to this relevant discovery.
2. Peruvian Geoglyphs
Important discoveries have also been made in the American continent thanks to Google Earth. This is the case of Peru where geographical fascinators were found with effigies in the form of animals that could be up to 1,400 years old.
There were discovered in 2012 by researchers at the University of Missouri thanks to google earth!
1. Remains of human ancestors
Studying with Google Earth in a southern area of South Africa, a scientist named Evert found around 500 sites which by the characteristics were potential sites of ancient human remains in 2008.
On visiting one of these sites identified through the program, he discovered the fossils of a woman and a child. These fossils were around two million years old.
Studies have shown very particular characteristics in these remains which has led to think that it could be a new species of humanoid that would be between the Australopithecus and Homo Habilis.
