Paleomythica

Paleomythica is an exploration of game engines as archives of deep geological and evolutionary time; a meditation on extinction, digital revival, and the documentation of biodiversity in the era of the Anthropocene. Inspired by geomythology, the study of stories derived from ancient fossil discoveries, Paleomythica is a gameworld where science and myth collapse into a single ecosystem. From mythological creatures inspired by unexplainable fossils, to inaccurate reconstructions of animals in the scientific era, this project reimagines humanity's long and often distorted engagement with paleontological evidence.
