When on Google Earth 128

Unable to resist temptation any longer, I spotted Heather’s WOGE 127 identifying it as Corinth, Greece, and so now it’s my turn to set a puzzle; be the first to identify the location and date of site in the picture below, and you can host you own When on Google Earth!


NOW WITH EXTRA CLUE!



CLUE. . .
. . It looks like it has been carpet bombed by B52s!

The Rules

Q: What is When on Google Earth?

A: It’s a game for archaeologists, or anybody else willing to have a go!

Q: How do you play it?

A: Simple, you try to identify the site in the picture.

Q: Who wins?

A: The first person to correctly identify the site, including its major period of occupation, wins the game.

A: The winner gets bragging rights and the chance to host the next When on Google Earth on his/her own blog!

    I know, I know: it's Hatra in northern Iraq. It flourished in the second half of the Parthian age.
