13 Ancient Websites That Somehow Still Exist

The web is going to be a goldmine for digital archeologists in the future. You might think that everything on here is new and shiny, but most of it is lying under the surface, unchanged for years, covered in dust and grime.

Whether it's ancient search engines, promotional websites for films from before there were websites in films or just fansites for long-dead shows, the internet is full to bursting with old and hilarious sites.

Here are 12 of our favourites. If you have any you'd like us to showcase let us know in the comments.
