Lucasfilm and Machine Games are making an Indiana Jones game called Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, but what even is a Great Circle?
Game director Jerk Gustafsson said in a blog post that a “‘great circle’ is any circle that divides a sphere in half,” and Earth’s best-known one is the equator. These “great circles” are used in aviation for navigation purposes, he pointed out. There is a “very real and mysterious” great circle on Earth that connects many historical sites such as Giza, Easter Island, Sukhothai, Nazca, and more.
