Prehi(p)storic An early history of the ostentatious moustache, a storymap from the Early Celtic Art in Context project.
That is not a good website. I gave up after a couple scrolls.

The format bugged me at first and then I kind of got into it. I definitely hope it isn't a new trend that everyone will copy, but it is an ok way to tell a story with snippets of text and lots of images.
Mostly, though, as a person with facial hair, I thought it was neat how commonly facial hair was portrayed in the statues and carvings.

It's kind of a dated format that was popular a few years ago, and it doesn't age well across newer browsers. But aside from that, I thought the content was quite interesting, if only because it's relevant to my own interests, I mean, upper lip.

Hit the space bar repeatedly and skim. It's kind of like a politics mega-thread, only with mustaches instead of civilization collapsing. It was actually pretty cool - I'd never noticed before how many mustache styles there are.

The material was interesting! The format is not my thing but an established thing and fine! Like it's just a PowerPoint but the mechanism is scrolling! The url arch.ac.ox.uk reads like the noises I would make falling down a flight of stairs!
