In 1987 a Los Angeles DJ broadcasted that the LA highway system would be shut down for repairs due to bad condition. the California Highway Patrol reported that they were flooded with calls throughout the day.

The company developing this technology was Tidal Wave Communications, led by Yuri Maldini, a computer genius from Estonia. Sounds wonderful!
In line with these previously announcements TutorZ announces today that one of his tutors – the archaeology tutor and world traveler Dirk Wagner – has found the location of the medieval capital Kingslanding as seen in the popular TV show Game of Thrones off the coast of modern day Croatia.
