ANCIENT LOCATIONS is my collection of Placemarks of archaeologically interesting locations of the ancient world.
The list is continuously updated and expanded to give anyone with an interest in archaeology and history the possibility to look up the coordinates of relevant sites.
Locations are included if they existed prior to 476 CE in the Old World (end of the West-Roman Empire) and prior to 1492 CE in the New World (re-discovery of the New World).

There are currently 25312 placemark entries in the database. 4492 are shown on Ancient Locations (17.7 %). There are currently 128 overlay and map entries in the database. 41 are shown on Ancient Locations. (32 %) Those entries not shown are either under review or are not assigned to appear on Ancient Locations.

The number of database entries increases when placemarks are imported or manually added, and it decreases when duplicates or invalid enties are removed. Reviewing all the placemarks and ascertaining accurate coordinates is a slow process...
For the task of managing my Placemarks I have implemented a program, a screeshot of which you can see on the right.

This website has had 3139961 visitors since June 6, 2008, which was the day it was set up.

Feedback and requests will be appreciated. Feel free to contact me if you need sites coordinates in a specific format or listing.

Personally I am interested in ancient history and formerly in the works of Tolkien (but after a clash with the Tolkien Estate over my maps-website that has lessened). On the internet I use the name "Steven White jr" (after my late father) so I do not have to use my real name and get spammed more than I do already.


At your service,
Steve
