Love historical puzzles? This website lets you make a game out of history and culture

One of the artefacts from the Met that we got partially right is this “Bull Folio” from 15th-century Iran. The green zone on the map (left) shows we got the location right. Pics courtesy/Anthropeum.com
Did you used to have that childhood dream, too, of digging in the sand and discovering a historical artefact and then trying to figure out which era it was from? As a working adult chained to our desk, we don’t spend much time with our fingers in the sand. But we still like to play a little archeological detective game on Anthropeum, a website with a daily game that challenges our understanding of human culture and how it evolved across time and geography.
