I came across the solution to Oliver's WOGE 71 by accident (though of course I should have known it anyway!) — it's the Kassite palace mound at Dur-Kurigalzu (mod. Aqar Quf), near Baghdad, Iraq —, so here is something quite different as my challenge for WOGE 72:
If you can identify this site and its main period of occupation, then post your comment below. You can always join the new Facebook group to keep up to date with WOGE. I'm still having trouble inserting the list of previous winners and sites chosen so far, but you'll find an almost up-to-date version at the link to WOGE 71 given above.
The Rules of When on Google Earth are as follows:
