Hampi ( Hampe) is a village in northern Karnataka state, India. It is located within the ruins of Vijayanagara, the former capital of the Vijayanagara Empire. Predating the city of Vijayanagara, it continues to be an important religious centre, housing the Virupaksha Temple, as well as several other monuments belonging to the old city.

As the village is at the original centre of Vijayanagara, it is sometimes confused with the ruined city itself. The ruins are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, listed as the Group of Monuments at Hampi.

Thousands of years in the making... from the capital of the Hittites to the capital of the Zapotecs. Hattusa, Anatolia Ellora Caves, India Hampi, India Thuburbo Majus, Tunisia Criel Mound, USA Cholula, Mexico Comalcalco, Mexico Monte Alban, Mexico Thanks to all my subscribers. The wait for Part 8 will not be as long, I promise! I did consider uploading a 1GB version for full quality, but since comments started coming in before the big upload could complete (and since my connection can drop out) I decided to stick with this one even though the picture quality is not great. Concentrate on the commentary and you'll be fine. TOP TIP: You can find coodinates for most of these sites on Wikipedia. Just copy and paste those into GE and use that to get the best view. The picture here is really just to illustrate the commentary. For best results use the new GE5 release. Check out my magazine article, "The World's Top 50 Mysterious Places"... www.flickr.com
