Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
Although the information on Cultures.com is interesting -- and has an excellent purpose -- the presentation is rather dull, and the organization is confusing. There's no site-wide navigation, so users can easily get "stuck" in a section. Also, there's not much to do besides read; sister site Mythweb.com is more interactive and more appealing. Cultures.com seems like it's stuck in the 1990s, save for the sophisticated and compelling Amistad animation.
