This video shows you how to locate Google Earth files through a Google search. The video is also a demonstration of how to import found Google Earth files into the desktop and browser versions of Google Earth.
Update: May 29, 2019:
The creator of the file reached out to me to clarify that all of the work was his alone and not a collaboration. The creator of the file is Loren Hall who goes by the name Apollonious. Here's what he shared with me:
It was not made by a group of people, I made it and posted it on the google forums. I am Apollonius.
Anyway just thought I'd let you know where the list came from, I had to look for the coordinates using various techniques, and the whole process took several years to complete. There was a forum called "archaeology fieldwork" years ago that I used to post in at various stages of completion, but I don't think that board exists any more. I would post at 200 places, and then 300, etc. It was very tedious and time-consuming at times, but I love the work.
Again, I'm glad the list is getting some use! It once was official google content, but now it's gotten moved to someplace else. I have no idea what google is doing, but I still care about my Greek places, that was an insane amount of work!
But again, I'm glad you getting some use out of them. Teachers are the BEST use for them. :)
