About HeritageNest

HeritageNest is a world atlas of heritage sites, written and fact-checked by a trained archaeologist.

Most of what people read about the ancient world online is either too academic to enjoy or too sensational to trust. HeritageNest sits in between: clear, readable guides to real places, grounded in archaeological evidence — with honest notes on what we still don’t know.

What you’ll find here

• The Atlas — heritage sites from every inhabited continent, with history, quick facts and visiting tips.
• The Journal — field notes, site guides, artifact explainers and the Myth vs Evidence series.
• Ask an Archaeologist — research help, consulting and talks.
