Hi John-
Here is the file with updates for the ruins of Capernaum and Jericho. Capernaum is further northeast along the Sea of Galilee than either of us had placed it. We were both very close with Jericho.

Fantastic! Thanks. Your enthusiasm is amazing.
Heh, well I can't get enough Bible study - and knowing the geography helps me retain more. Paul's travels in particular truly amaze me.
I found some ruin sites you might want to update your placemark with:
Changed:
Ashekelon
Capernaum
Hazor
Qumran
Added:
Herodium (aka Herodian) - Herod's palace south of Jerusalem
Petra
Thanks, Scott.

Perhaps one of you could make the effort of inserting information into the placemarks themselves, such as scottkarin did for St. Paul's Journeys?
It's time consuming but would make your presentation much more useful to the less familiar viewer.
Thanks for combining your two posts on the topic!
Actually, it looks like triggapoint changed the file - because at one point there were Bible Encyclopedia descriptions for most, if not all of the placemarks. So I don't know what happened, but the "effort" has taken place and there is more work being done.

It's a good job, so far.
One bit of info for both of you, Trigga & Scott: It's not necessary to post new KMZ files with each update. You can combine all of your various KMZ's into one file, and then simply edit the original post and upload the new (revised) KMZ to it. Once you do, make a note in both the header and the file about your update. This is what I do with the Military forum's "Collections Compendium" - update instead of replace. It has the end result of being much easier for your readers to get the entire information, instead of having to download individual placemarks from each of you., and it becomes much easier for you guys to manage changes and updates if everything is in a single spot. If you need help in learning how to do this, just PM any of the moderators - we'd be glad to show you how.

John -

Oh - I'm sorry Sparky!
I just added this file (and updated once again) right at the same time you were posting!
We'll see if we can't learn to do this right and clean this up!

No worries - it makes it easier for both of you AND everyone who's interested in your KMZ's.
