Great Siege of Malta (1565) told on Google Earth

A visual representation of The Great Siege of Malta (1565) created on Google Earth maps. The massive army of Suleiman the Magnificent that nearly wiped out the Order of St. John, also known as Knights Hospitaller, but instead retreated in defeat, leading to what is today the island of Malta.

Many thanks to ‪@victorpulis5113‬ for his beautiful watercolour figures of the Knights, used in this video.
