OUR MISSION
At Ancient Origins, we believe that one of the most important fields of
knowledge we can pursue as human beings is our beginnings. And while some people
may seem content with the story as it stands, our view is that there
exist countless mysteries, scientific anomalies and surprising artifacts
that have yet to be discovered and explained.
The goal of Ancient Origins is to highlight recent archaeological discoveries,
peer-reviewed academic research and evidence, as well as offering alternative
viewpoints and explanations of science, archaeology, mythology, religion and
history around the globe.
We’re the only Pop Archaeology site combining scientific research with
out-of-the-box perspectives.
By bringing together top experts and authors, this archaeology website explores
lost civilizations, examines sacred writings, tours ancient places, investigates
ancient discoveries and questions mysterious happenings. Our open community is
dedicated to digging into the origins of our species on planet earth, and
question wherever the discoveries might take us. We seek to retell the story of
our beginnings.
