I ask a lot of questions, so I’m building Ancient Inquiry. I kept ending up with scattered tabs and notes about ancient history, archaeology, mythology, human origins and astronomy. I wanted a way to follow a question across topics and keep track of the sources behind it. The site: https://ancientinquiry.com/ There are a few ways to explore: A homepage with starting topics. An Atlas that shows topics as a network, with connections for evidence, supporting or competing interpretations, traditions and modern claims. A connection is something to examine, not proof that two claims are true. An Explore page laid out as a cabinet of subject drawers, with a list view for people who prefer simpler browsing. It is still a work in progress. Much of the research is unfinished, and some pages are planning records rather than finished articles. The goal is to make sources, uncertainty and the difference between evidence and interpretation clear. I’d appreciate honest feedback, especially: Can you tell what the site is for and where to start? Does the Atlas help you explore, or does it make things harder to understand? What would make you trust the research, and what currently puts you off? I’m also looking for people interested in working on the research: finding reliable sources, checking citations, reviewing a small topic, or spotting mistakes. I’d welcome advice from anyone who has organized a collaborative research project, too. How did you find contributors and keep the work manageable and well sourced? If this overlaps with your interests, feel free to say which topics you know or enjoy researching here in the comments. Even one specific criticism or useful source would help. I’m the person building it, so please be direct. I want to know what needs work.   submitted by   /u/FlybyyNight [link]   [comments]
