Thanks for posting, very interesting find.
His empire included the area of historical Germany.
GGG Heads up!
Color IR aerial -- probably with shadow-convolution filtering.
About the only thing better for showing occupation patterns might be
a composite of color IR and LIDAR -- or remote GPR...
Thanks for the post, bruinbirdman -- and for the link, La Lydia...
Germania (a region) was contained within the Hunnic Empire. Attila was probably born near what is now Hungary (Get it? Hun... Hungary?).
How is it possible for earth to change mans actions? I thought it was only us that could cause damage to the planet through car use and such?
I don’t even think air conditioning was around to blame..This is amazing.
I’ve had some exposure to spacial analysis using remote sensing data for resource management purposes, and I’ve got to say, if I were a younger man, that’s the technology I’d be jumping in to. Incredible.
What, they leave it as is to test their instruments?

To rephrase a line from the movie “Red October” and address it now to the Italian Ambassador, “You’ve lost a what? A city?” “How did that happen?”
I know where Hungary got its name. But the Huns weren’t from there; they settled there. They were originally from Asia.
Thank you for your sanity. I saw this article and was about to post the same thing you did, when I saw that you had already defended Germania. It is scary how fragile knowledge of the past is.

A small group of us "Rut Nuts" were just scheming as to how we could get access to a small, LIDAR-equipped 'copter for mapping out things like Trammel's Trace and the "roads" and campsites left by several Spanish military expeditions across Texas...
LIDAR, of course, is "Laser RADAR", which can achieve at least two inch vertical resolution -- and can effectively "see through" an overhead vegetation canopy...
That Altinium image sure looks like LIDAR to me...
~~~~~~~~~
Yep -- I've "been into" spatial analysis for archeology (official TX spelling, BTW) for many years.
Here's one of my current projects -- a new State Historical Marker at the only (known) site where Trammel's Trace is visible from a Texas state Highway. (The "marker" is virtual -- CGI that exists only in my computer.)
...and HERE IS a high-res image (with readable inscription) of that scene with the final "virtual" version of the marker -- which is at the foundry, being cast right now...
Meant to include you in the “pingees” to # 19...
