I'm a world roamer. I spend half my time and earnings exploring the remote, strange, breathtaking places on our planet. I have been to more than 50 countries, 1,000 cities, but our planet is only too much bigger than I can explore with my own feet and eyes. So whenever I stay home, I keep roaming with my VR devices, on Google Maps. I couldn't express my admiration to a company like Google and its community with adequate words. There are so many brilliant travellers and true explorers sharing their immersive imageries on the platform, so that I can keep my vicarious roaming in the places I can not, dare not, or have not yet set foot in. But true gems are always rare and hard to find. So I decided to dedicate this account to share these coordinates and links to the finest immersive imagery that I've spent hundreds, thousands of hours discovering. You can click the links to open them directly in Google Maps, though a VR device is recommended to fully appreciate them. In any case, I will also share screenshots and some background knowledge. I hope this account proves valuable to you. And I sincerely hope you’ll share your own discoveries and comments here. To all the roaming spirits! That insatiable longing is in our blood, and it makes us human.

It’s not very far from Paris, Poland, and… Banana.

This is London. Downtown. Kiribati, 1°59'4.79"N 157°28'32.32"W

@theepicmap And you will find London, Paris, not far from Banana😂

TIL Kiribati is the only country in the world to be in the Northern, Southern, Easten and Western hemisphere - i.e all the hemispheres.

@MexicanBrett @earthcurated I believe that Jesus was a true historical figure, and his crucification was a overwhelming accepted historical fact. But that doesn’t mean that his resurrection and ascension were “therefore” historical facts.

@MexicanBrett @earthcurated Muslims believe that it was not Jesus who got crucified. So actual historical event is actually not that actual.

Nearly 2,000 years ago today, Jesus Christ gave His life on the cross in Jerusalem.

The famous "Curse" Section concludes with a long list of terrifying curses aimed at anyone who might try to move the stone, erase the writing, or claim the land for themselves. It calls upon the gods to strike down the offender with illness, famine, or misfortune. "May Sin, the great lord, with leprosy as with a garment clothe his body, so that he may dwell by the wall of his city!" "May Nabu, the exalted son, the establisher of the month and of the year, shorten his days, so that he have no posterity!"  "May the lady Gula cause her burden of sickness to come upon him, so that while he lives, dark and bright blood he may pass like water!" "May Marduk, the king of the gods, look upon him in anger, and his name and his seed may he cause to disappear!"

This blackened limestone monument is known as a kudurru, an ancient Babylonian boundary stone that served as both a legal contract and a divine warning. Carved over three thousand years ago, it whispers tales of a time when the land was not just soil, but a sacred gift from a king to a loyal subject. The upper registers are crowded with celestial symbols and mythical beasts—the horned crown of Anu, the goat-fish of Enki, and the coiled serpent—each representing a god summoned to witness the transaction. For the ancient people, these carvings were not merely decorative; they were eternal sentinels. Beneath the imagery, the meticulous cuneiform script details the land's dimensions and the terrifying curses awaiting anyone who dared to move the stone. To touch this stone is to feel the weight of human ambition and the desperate desire for permanence. It stands as a haunting bridge between the fleeting lives of men and the enduring silence of the gods.

Diphylleia grayi, the beautiful “skeleton flower” that turns transparent when it rains and reverts to white when dry.

@QueenDM77 @earthcurated Who's Jesus alive today?

@_teleported @earthcurated Science points me even more to the Lord! Jesus was real and is alive today! God Bless.

Look at the shadows even in this satellite photo!

Burj Khalifa, #Dubai (immersive panoramic imagery uploaded by Gleb Osipov). A magnificent perspective to witness the hubris of human beings. maps.app.goo.gl/AvszfGyk5xRKa2… I have been on the 125th floors. But hovering mid-air in front of it is only next-level sensation.

The incredible part: Loose sand is naturally unstable — engineers must turn it into ground solid enough to support buildings, roads, and utilities. Engineers use techniques like: Vibro-compaction (shaking the ground until sand grains rearrange into a denser structure). Deep compaction and layering.

Weird fishes in front of their hooks. Durrat Al #Bahrain, 20 km² artificial archipelago created through massive land reclamation, almost four times larger than the famous Palm Jumeirah of #Dubai. 25°50'16.02"N 50°36'10.02"E (8K satellite imagery)

The entire development is designed to resemble a necklace of pearls, echoing Bahrain’s historic pearl-diving culture. Well, the resemblance is to be discussed. Millions of cubic meters of sand were dredged from the seabed to create 15 artificial islands. The full project was planned to house tens of thousands of people, essentially forming a new coastal city rather than just a resort. A closer look (8K satellite imagery).

@MexicanBrett @earthcurated The problem is: the Muslims will say that this version is actually the actual history.

@_teleported @earthcurated Just cause muslims don’t believe it was Jesus doesn’t mean it didn’t happen 😂

@AdamAgain__ For me it's him:

Manul’s are famous for having the most beautiful smiles in the world! 🙂

@Hana_b30 For those who don't know this word like me: melanism: darkening of body tissues caused by excessive production of melanin, especially as a form of colour variation in animals.

A beautiful melanistic Fox, one of the rarest animals on the planet.

@Divine_Serpant @earthcurated They’re unanswerable in a final sense, not even by any God. The believers will just say: it's God's will. If you keep asking, why? They will answer: God acts mysteriously.

@_teleported @earthcurated I believe in many gods.. But i will stop right now.. If you can answer mw these questions.. Why am i me?? Why am i not you?? Why am i not born in North Korea 100 years ago?? Why was i born only 34 years ago in Germany?? Why does anything exist?? What is nothing?? I am waiting..

The creation order Genesis 1: Plants created before humans, animals before humans. Genesis 2: Man is created first, then plants, then animals. God’s nature: Does He change? Malachi 3:6: “I the Lord do not change.” Exodus 32:14: God relents from punishing Israel after Moses intercedes. The length of the flood Genesis 7:17: The flood lasted 40 days. Genesis 7:24 & 8:3–4: The floodwaters lasted 150 days. The death of Judas Matthew 27:5: Judas hanged himself. Acts 1:18: Judas fell headlong and his body burst open. God’s command about violence Exodus 20:13: “You shall not murder.” Yet God commands wars, massacres, and executions in various passages (e.g., Joshua 6, 1 Samuel 15). Resurrection appearances of Jesus The four Gospels give differing numbers of women, disciples, locations, and sequences of events after the resurrection.

@pedrosmoustache @ChrisCoffee @_teleported @earthcurated name 1 contradiction in the bible

@FiggyEnjoyer_ @pedrosmoustache @ChrisCoffee @earthcurated Genesis 6:19-20: “You shall bring into the ark two of every kind, male and female, to keep them alive.” Genesis 7:2-3: “Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal.”

@pedrosmoustache @earthcurated Good picture, and good proof!😃

@_teleported @earthcurated good question!!

How do you say moon in your Language?

Many founders of modern science were indeed religious, often explicitly Christian: •Isaac Newton wrote extensively on theology—arguably more than on physics •Johannes Kepler saw his laws as uncovering God’s geometric plan •Robert Boyle funded Christian apologetics •Blaise Pascal combined scientific work with deep religious writing Why this happened: •Europe was overwhelmingly Christian—almost everyone believed in God •Universities were often tied to the Church •The idea that nature is orderly and rational (and thus discoverable) was sometimes framed in theological terms So yes: many early breakthroughs came from believers—but that reflects the background population, not necessarily a causal advantage. 19th–20th century transition — mixed landscape Now things become more diverse: •Charles Darwin → moved away from traditional Christianity •James Clerk Maxwell → remained a committed Christian •Albert Einstein → rejected a personal God (more “cosmic spirituality”) •Marie Curie → not religious Key shift: Science becomes more professional, global, and method-driven Today •Many leading scientists are non-religious or agnostic •Some are still believers (e.g., Francis Collins) •Others are explicitly atheist (e.g., Stephen Hawking) Belief in a biblical, personal God is a minority position among modern scientists: •It ranges roughly from: •~5–10% among elite scientists •possibly up to ~20–30% in the broader scientific population, depending on definitions @stagvale1

@earthcurated How can modern people, with all the knowledge of science, especially astronomy, still believe in the stories told in Bible?
