The earliest sites and chunks of data that made up the first foundations of the world wide web. Data that has been lost to the depths of the internet and no longer retrievable.

In contemporary terms The Ancient Web is made up of the lost history of the internet sometimes view able on thewaybackmachine or other archives that exists in time before the fall of geocites.

The term will perpetually be changing to consume greater swaths of the history of the internet until clearly defined eras are identified.
