If you want images of the Googliezed realm boundaries, they're on the 
same webpage. If you want the realm boundaries from Infiniverse Update
#1, those can be found on the original "revised stelae coordinates"
on my website. I don't know of any online source for the updated maps
that were in IU#2 or IU#3.

The KMZ files on my site do not draw in the realm boundaries but they
do contain all the stelae. When you load the file a folder should appear
in your Places window with the appropriate name. Click on it and it will
display all of the placemarks (the stelae) in that file. I'm surprised
you wouldn't be seeing them automatically, when I load the files up on
my machine they display immediately.

I didn't include the boundaries because at the time the basic version of
Google Earth wouldn't let you save paths or overlays, just placemarks.
So I could do the stelae markers, but no lines connecting them.

They should, checking my account they're still willing to let me
download copies of stuff I got years before the R&E came out. Unless
you've exceeded your maximum downloads (looks to be 4 or 5) of the
R&E, then you're hosed. Actually if you bought the original PDF they
should have the R&E listed for you as an updated product, that might
not even count against your download limit to get it.
