A computer programmer looking at Google Earth satellite images has reportedly discovered the remains of an ancient Roman villa near Sorbelo, Italy.
Luca Mori of Sorbelo was looking at a satellite image of his area, located near Parma, when he noticed unusual shading near his home, the London Telegraph reported Wednesday. He said the area had an oval shaded form more than 500 yards long, with some unusual rectangular shadows nearby. Archaeologists subsequently determined the rectangular lines were, most likely, a buried structure and the oval area was likely the course of an ancient river. Mori contacted the National Archaeological Museum of Parma, which investigated. "At first they thought the site might be Bronze Age, but a closer inspection turned up ceramic and stone pieces that showed it was a Roman villa built some time just before the birth of Christ," he told the newspaper. Mori said he was happy with his discovery.
"I have managed to get people talking about the Internet because of something interesting rather than pedophiles and viruses," he said.
Hopefully people still talk about viruses and pedophiles though.... I would hate to think the Net is moving up in the world.
