I think that the website of the Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art is a site that I really like. While it is not a site focused on the whole of anthropology it does have information and resources related to the discipline, which are mainly focused on the pre-Columbian peoples of the Americas.

On this site you can find information about the museum and the exhibitions available. But they also have educational material for multiple ages, a library with texts in pdf that anyone can access, as well as good information on pre-Columbian peoples, which is organized in a way that makes it easy to access, with images, maps, and videos.

Although I don't visit it as much now as I did when I finished high school, I usually keep an eye on the exhibitions through social networks and if I have time I try to go.

I think what I like most about this site is that it is very orderly, so it is very easy to access the information. I also like that it has a collection in which you can access musical resources, images of archaeological remains and videos of multiple related topics. I think I would recommend this site to anyone who needs accurate access to information about pre-Columbian peoples or who is interested in viewing various resources about them.

Post 4: Time travel to the past

Being able to travel back in time sounds like something that would happen in a movie or a science fiction book, so I guess I've never really stopped to think seriously about it. However, I think I would prefer to travel back in time for now. It is really interesting to me the idea of traveling far into the past and being able to see live the historical events that I have read about in history books. To be part of the first ships and ocean voyages, to see the French revolution or the independence of Chile. However, I think what I would be most interested in seeing in my trip to the past would be those events that are not documented in history, I would like to see how the first humans lived in Latin America before the arrival of the Europeans, to see the fauna and flora, how the landscapes have changed. It is a very nice idea to be able to live an experience like this, to be part of historical events that are not very famous in order to understand them better, and in this way under...

Blog 1: A country you would like to visit

Definitively I would like to visit Mexico. I believe I've had this idea for about 4 years, so I am really interest and exited with the opportunity to travel to this country someday.  I think what interests me most about Mexico is its culture, mainly the traditions relad to "Day of the Dead", because this day is celebrated in a very different way than in Chile. In addition to this, Mexico has beautiful landscapes such as beaches and cenotes, I really like the places nearby water as sea, river, or lake for example, these places are truly relaxing. Finally, another reason what I would like to visit Mexico is because of its pre-Columbian history. Human groups such as the Aztecs and Mayas settled in this territory, and there are remains of them, such as pyramids.  I know little about Mexico, mainly because of movies, series or generalities that are said about the country, so if I get to go to Mexico, I would like to try with the least amount of prejudice to learn as m...

How Can Your Major Make the World a Better

  I am studying anthropology, I think one of the reasons why I chose this career is because since I discovered its existence I thought it was the way in which I could make a contribution to society. I consider that motivation and vocation are the most important things to be able to make a contribution with the work I will do in the future, and I hope that anthropology will allow me to do so. I believe that anthropology in essence allows us to expand our way of seeing the world, allows us to put ourselves in the place of the other, and indeed to be more empathetic with others. It is from empathy, I believe, that changes can be initiated; it is vital to understand the ways in which others live in order to be able to help them effectively. In the case of archaeology, I really like the idea of being able to reconstruct the past, and give voice to many events, people, groups that have been ignored until now. In short, anthropology provides multiple tools to understand others in a resp...
