General Santos City on Mindanao is where Amy grew up and where I lived for a year after we got married. We also visited Cebu during winter break last year and stayed on Mactan Island near the spot where Magellan was killed by Lapu Lapu before his crew finished circumnavigating the globe. Mostly these photos [...]
The Louvre in Paris is one of the great universal museums of the world. It is a former palace of French kings. I took most of these photos in 1993, before I started doing serious museum photography. I took a few more in 2000. Photos by Gary L. Todd, Ph.D., Professor of History, Sias International [...]

This is a small regional museum dealing mostly with the Maya of the Yucatan. But since the Maya wing was closed for renovation when I visited the INAH Museum in Mexico City, this is about all I can do for the Maya culture, arguably the most interesting of all the ancient Mesoamerican cultures. Photos by [...]
This is another great world museum dealing mostly with ancient Mesoamerica: Olmec, Teotihuacan, Maya, Mexica (Aztec), and others. The Maya wing was closed when I was there. Rats! Hopefully I can go back with digital. Photos by Gary L. Todd, Ph.D., Professor of History, Sias International University, Xinzheng, Henan, China. http://picasaweb.google.com/GaryLeeTodd/INAHMuseumMexicoCity#
This is one of the greatest museums of the world. The several times I visited there were before I got the idea to make a serious photographic record of historic artifacts, so this album scarcely does the BM justice. Check out their own website. My photos are digital copies of prints or slides, so they [...]
The Cairo Museum houses a tiny fraction of the ancient relics of Egypt, while millions of artifacts remain in the ground or lie rotting in warehouses. Nevertheless, this is one of the great museums of the world. I regret that I had very limited time there, and that my photos were taken on print and [...]
I already have an album of the ancient Maya cities of Tikal & Yaxha. These are the remaining photos I took in Guatemala City and in the region of Lake Peten Itza. Photos by Gary L.

Most of my Mexican photos were taken in archaeological sites and are filed in my Ancient Mesoamerican albums, or in the album from the INAH Museum in Mexico City. These are the remaining photos that are not of precolumbian artifacts. Photos by Gary L. Todd, Ph.D., Professor of History, Sias International University, Xinzheng, Henan, China. [...]
