I might agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong!

Google Earth is a wonderful resource - for instance, we recently went to Gebelein, and on looking at the area afterwards, we found several tombs or tomblike objects that definitely seem worthwhile visiting. Google Earth uses a unique file format to collect sites - a KMZ file, and if anyone feels it worthwhile, I'll create such a file with more sites - including other pyramids or mysterious objects in other countries which they can download from my main website.

I have just noticed that when you see a blue dot on a Google Earth map it indicated an image stored on Panoramio.com. There are many images to be viewed in the Luxor area

Yes I already did one, to show the extent of Qurna before the demolitions started, as the imagery on google earth dates from 2005.
I used it to make a map of the sites on the West Bank - http://www.eternalegypt.co.uk/luxor4u/westbank.jpg (4mb file)! Feel free to download it. I'll probably get some big prints done soon.
