# Mysteria

> An atlas of Earth's mysterious places — every one mapped, dated where dating
> exists, and graded for how far the published evidence carries the claim.

Mysteria is an archive of the Thaumatica house (https://thaumatica.com) and holds
its evidence standard: show the evidence, grade the claim rather than the reader,
and keep the contested in. Places the scholarly community has rejected stay in the
catalog, labelled as rejected — leaving them out is how an atlas quietly becomes an
argument.

## The catalog

- 13,227 places, in 147 countries
- 1,100 UNESCO World Heritage sites
- 1,291 places carrying a contested, hypothetical or rejected grade — kept, not hidden
- 39,451 photographs and 33,676 approved external resources

## The confidence ladder

Six grades, most confident first. A grade reports the state of the published
literature about a place. It is not a verdict on whether the place is interesting.

- Verified: Peer-reviewed consensus: inscribed, extensively excavated, dating corroborated.
- Widely accepted: Broad scholarly acceptance with minor debate on details.
- Contested: Active scholarly dispute on authenticity, date, or interpretation.
- Hypothetical: Plausible but insufficient published evidence; often known from remote sensing or legend.
- Unverified: Claimed but lacking peer-reviewed field verification.
- Pseudoarchaeology: Claims rejected by the scholarly community; included and labeled, never hidden.

## Key facts

- An archive of the Thaumatica house (https://thaumatica.com).
- The catalog is an open dataset, CC BY-SA 4.0 — see Data access below.
- Six confidence grades; contested and rejected places are kept and labelled, never removed.
- Every place carries schema.org structured data, its grade, its sources and its coordinates.

## What the catalog holds

- Megaliths: Stone circles, dolmens, menhirs and passage tombs raised without metal tools.
- Pyramids: From Giza and Saqqara to Teotihuacan, Meroë and the contested mounds.
- Ancient cities: Capitals, ports and metropolises that rose, fell and were found again.
- Buried cities: Settlements sealed under ash, sand or silt and excavated centuries later.
- Submerged sites: Harbours, towns and monuments now beneath the sea or a lake.
- Ancient villages: The first farming settlements and the houses people lived in.
- Underground cities: Carved refuges and hidden complexes beneath the surface.
- Geoglyphs: Lines, figures and shapes drawn into the land at a scale meant for the sky.
- Earthworks: Mounds, henges, enclosures and effigies built from earth.
- Temple complexes: Sacred precincts, sanctuaries and the architecture of ritual.
- Archaeological wonders: Places that defy a simple label.
- Tells: Mounds made of layer upon layer of settlement.
- Rock art sites: Paintings and engravings from the deepest human past.
- Hydraulic works: Canals, qanats, stepwells and reservoirs of ancient engineers.
- Rock-cut sites: Temples, tombs and churches carved directly from living ro
