Launched AncientWeb 3.0
Those of you who have been a fan for years may have noticed
this is the third refresh of the Ancient Sites, this time
improving on the underlying structure of the pages. Due to
an overwhelming response to these sites I will now begin adding
more content over the coming months, including feedback forms.

AncientChile.com
 The
website devoted to the Art and Culture of the Ancient
Patagonian region. This site includes resources for
the fascinating history of the mapuche, and the very
famous pictorial on Chile by Marta Zaleska.
AncientMexico.com
 The
website devoted to the Art and Culture of Ancient
Mesoamerica. This award winning site was the first
in the ancientweb series and has grown to include
resources on the maya, aztex and their culture.

Map
of the Ancient Andean Region
 The map of the Andean Region
is an interactive map of the ancient world of the Incas,
Chimu, Chancay and their predecessors. The map can be used
to see city level detail of some of the monuments and ruined
fortresses that still dot the landscapes of modern day Peru,
Bolivia and Ecuador. Still a work in progress, at this point
the map can be seen geographically only.
The Inca Universe
 Perhaps the most far reaching
of all Andean peoples, the Inca inhabited thousand of miles
of territory at the arrival of the Spanish. Their universe
was a vast realm of sacred corners that all centered on the
heart of their empire. Cuzco, the city which was the religious
nucleas, and the place they made the hypothetical navel of
their worldview. They believed this to be an integral part
of their destiny in their religious association with the
world.
