How to play Anthropeum

  1. Look at the artifact: a vase, a sculpture, a tool, a textile or a painting.
  2. Place a pin on the map where you think it was made.
  3. Choose the time period and submit to see the answer and a short note on the object.
  4. After ten rounds, see where your score falls among everyone who played that day.

Tips

  • Materials narrow things down: porcelain, bronze, jade and featherwork each belong to particular regions and eras.
  • Decorative motifs and scripts on objects are often the best clue to the culture.
  • Borders moved over time, so think of the culture first and the modern country second.
