Collapse: Why Do Civilizations Fall?
http://www.learner.org/exhibits/collapse/
"Join us as we explore the collapse of four ancient civilizations. You'll learn what happens when a society collapses and how archaeologists find and interpret evidence. You can visit the Maya city of Copán and search for clues to its collapse. You can also try your hand at "garbage-ology" and study what trash can tell us about a society."
Museum of Unnatural Mystery
http://unmuseum.mus.pa.us/unmuseum.htm
Would you like to know more about UFO's, dinosaurs, Stonehenge, and other puzzling subjects? Visit this virtual museum for information about odd and not-so-odd topics such as the seven wonders of the ancient world, lost worlds, and weird explorations. You can even get some ideas for science experiments by visiting the mad scientist's laboratory.
