To start navigating the new scans, this guide from Professors and Researchers Kelly Lambert, Gregory Nagy, and others, especially Elizabeth Gibson and Aoki Lee Simmons, at Harvard University and the New Alexandria Foundation, inspired the work, so here are the new 3d artifacts and spaces from Greece indexed by their guide at the following:
Not all sites are included yet, so as they finish processing on our servers, I’ll update this list. Other places, I’ve included artifacts not explicitly mentioned but important to the context.
Additionally, while I make the 3d scans, I listen to the History of Ancient Greece podcast! The episodes are really good. They’re great to listen to while looking around at the spaces and artifacts–so I’ve included the links here as well, and so much appreciation to Ryan Stitt for all the effort and creativity that’s poured into building the episodes over the years. Homage!
To see the full space and artifact scans of any site, I’ve included the link to the search tools as the complete version.
