Ok, updated it with the descriptions included. The reason I omitted them for a while is that the placemarks were in such a mess. They're reasonably sorted now.

That's great to hear your interest in Bible studies Scott. What has gripped me is the Old Testament battles. Its really come alive. Especially the whole story of Saul and Jonathan and the battle that took place at Micmash.
Anyhow, I do have one question regarding the new locations you suggested.
Regarding the Hazor site.
According to the UNESCO World Heritage locations the placemark I indicated is the Hazor mentioned in the Bible.
Tel Hazor: 33°0'59" N, 35°34'1" E
There is a town of Hatzor marked further south, but as the ISBE suggests, many of the modern towns of the same name have shifted from the original sites.
Hazor: 32°58'38.96"N, 35°32'36.42"E
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
John.

Thanks for re-instating the descriptions. Now, how about some illustrations?!

Sadly, I've only been studying the Bible in earnest for about 2 years. I need to spend some more time in the Old Testament!
No, I think you and DistantViewer are right on with Hazor - nice work and I love the overlays.
John, anything you want me to work on, research, etc just let me know. Lucia mentioned illustrations - I don't know how to do those but am willing to help in any way. It would be great if we had overlays for more sites like DistantViewer shared with Hazor.
Have a great day,
Scott

Scott & DistantViewer,
Since triggapoint has already included this information in his OP collection, please delete the kmz file when you get a chance. Otherwise, multiple duplicate placemarks will appear when the file is added to the GEC layers in the future. If you upload additional items for him, do the same once he indicates that he's edited the master list.
Thanks!
LM
It's great to see folks previously unknown to each other working so well together on this project!

Thanks Lucia - I didn't know to do that but it makes sense - there were actually several that needed deleting.
I think I got them all, but let me know if I missed any.
And yes, it's been fun working together on this.
