So, this is a new game that I came up that uses Google Earth. Let me remind you that this thread is in no way promoting Google Earth, nor do I have any affiliations with Google Earth. This is purely made out of fun. And boredom.
For those of you who are interested but don't have Google Earth in their computer, just download it free from the official website.
Now here are the rules: 1. Poster A posts a clue (may it be a simple question, a sentence, a picture or a video), the rest would try to figure out what location Poster A is trying to talk about. 2. If someone has already figrued it out, he or she must post the coordinates of that location. 3. Poster A must confirm which answer is correct. 4. The person with the correct answer (say, B) will provide a clue to the next location. 5. Repeat. 6. If no one can answer within 3 days, anyone can give a new location. Within those 3 days, Poster A can provide clues.
P.S. You can use books or the Internet to figure out the clue that would lead you to the location.
Me first!
This Northern European city is the seat of the archbishop of a particular Lutheran Church, and is the hometown of a naturalist, a famous film-maker, and a former Secretary-General of the United Nations.
Lycka till!

Wow, this game is... complex. A bit too complex for this forum? Because I based it on a quiz game from a Civilization series forum, and I thought I would twist it a little bit and make it a game that uses Google Earth.

I´ll give it a shot... Is it maybe 57°47´N 14°10´E ? No, it's in the right country but it's a bit too southwest. It's now over 48 hours since my clue so I'll give an easier one, but it's still the same location. It's the city where the director of the Seventh Seal was born.

This city from Sub-Saharan Africa is by the coastline of the continent. The city has great biodiversity and a great lagoon- the Ndogo Lagoon. It is a part of the Ogooue-Maritime province.

In which famous Asian building's roof does this section belong to? Hint: The emperor who comissioned the building wanted to make heaven a place on Earth.

Just a friendly reminder, no double posting. You should edit your posts if you forgot something. Try to make this game easier so more than just two people play it.

Ok, I've changed the rules a bit, and I vow never to change them again so that this thread won't be closed. I'm not entirely sure, but maybe it's 39°59′51.00″N 116°16′8.04″E. Hmm...it's in the right city, but it's the wrong building. New clue: It is a Taoist temple and it is built during the time of the Yongle Emperor.
