A record for every historical object.

Travellers photograph, the community identifies and translates, and every interpretation carries its evidence.

How it works

  1. See it, photograph it

    When a stone, a statue or an inscription catches your eye on the road, take a few photos with your phone. That is all a record needs to begin.

  2. The place is recorded for you

    Where the photographs were taken is kept automatically. There is nothing to type in the field.

  3. AI drafts on the way home

    AI reads your photographs and prepares a draft, offered as a suggestion. Whether to accept it is always your decision.

  4. Finish and publish at home

    Later, at your own pace, check the draft, fix what needs fixing and publish. You can always add more afterwards.

  5. Earn from your 3D models

    Build a 3D model from your own photos and videos with an external service of your choice, then upload it here and offer it for sale. What you sell is your own record — never the heritage itself.

Every historical object deserves a record

Photograph a monument, a temple relief or a museum artefact. The community identifies it, translates its inscriptions, and builds the evidence behind every interpretation.

From the mark to the meaning

A sign is recorded, given its sound, and given a sense in your language. Every step keeps its source, and every reading can be disputed.

Every record has a place

An observation carries where it was made. Sensitive locations are blurred before they ever leave the server.

  • Recorded position
  • Protected: an area, not a point

A record, and a disagreement

Everything is recorded as a separate, attributable statement. Nothing overwrites anything. One objection with evidence behind it outweighs any number of agreements.

A specialist objects, citing a later parallel. The claim is now disputed — and both readings stay on the record.

How it works

  1. Photograph what you see, outdoors or in a museum.
  2. AI proposes a provisional reading. It is never treated as fact.
  3. The community identifies the object and links it to evidence.
  4. Competing interpretations stay visible, with their sources.
