Questions about this page
How many archaeological & historic sites are there in Thailand?
75 on this map, out of 14,002 worldwide. That is what Wikidata records for Thailand with coordinates, a photograph and a Wikipedia article — the real number on the ground is larger, and for some countries much larger.

Which is the oldest?

Where does this information come from?
Every place is drawn from Wikidata (CC0), with photographs from Wikimedia Commons and a link to its English Wikipedia article. Selection is deterministic: a place is here because Wikidata files it under one of the classes this atlas carries and it has coordinates, a photo and an article. Nothing is written or chosen by an AI, and the ranking is simply how many Wikipedia language editions cover a place.
