    My mind was absolutely blown watching this!! The attention to detail with camera positioning and time of day vs the movie footage. I cannot fathom the research and time it took to do this! Mind bogglingly impressive! I can't get over how little of the Tunisia towns and landscape hasn't changed since 1980. Friggin' boulders and rocks still sitting in the same places. Just can't get over this!

      Funny thing is those boulders and rocks and towns most likely looked like that even well before the movies was shot too.

In some cases, you might need special permission as is the case with the sub base. Also, as is stated in the description a lot of this is taken from film and pictures people have already gathered.
