Have you ever thought what we as the civilized human rac is doing to the planet that we live in? have you ever imagined how contant construction, demolition, wars, population explosion, modernisation etc. would affect the way our planet looks?
Well google has done it yet again! You dont need to imagine anymore you can see it with your eyes.. Atleast 200 years of earth’s changes can be viewed. How? well.. here’s how.. Google has added historic map overlays to Google Earth to provide views of how places have changed with time. Google Earth engineers digitised one of the largest US map collections and integrated the information into its programme.
The collection of David Rumsey Historical Maps dated from 1680 to 1892 and included Cassini’s Globe of 1790; Africa in 1787, and a map of Asia from 1710.
What a sight it would be to see the earth over two hundred years ago and how it looks today!
