The first site this month is titled The
Ancient Egypt Site. This site is very attractive. It is not
flashy but there is enough color in the graphics for it not to be
boring. This site is very well organized and contains a massive
amount of information. The Ancient Egypt Site offers information
on History of Ancient Egypt, Saqqara, City of the Dead, and the
Language of Ancient Egypt among other topics. Each of these larger
categories has several sub-categories that help to organize the
site and also help to contain the wealth of information in an
easier, less overwhelming way. Included in the information are
relevant pictures and graphics on a nice background. Plan some
time for this site- it’s worth it!
While the next site, Rivendell’s
Ancient Egyptian History, isn’t as extensive as the first,
it is a great site with valuable information. The topics included
are Ancient History Introduction, Hieroglyphics, and Gods and
Goddesses. There aren’t any graphics or pictures but there is a
lovely table of the gods and goddesses, and there is another great
table of the hieroglyphics. The site is very organized and
pleasant to look at with a simple background and easy to read
text.
Understanding
Ancient Egypt Beliefs is a site that is listed this
month for parents. This is a fun to visit with your children.
There is a relatively short information page on religious beliefs,
including The Legend of Isis and Osiris. Following this page is
the Pyramid Puzzle; a crossword puzzle including clues pertaining
to the information presented on the previous page. The puzzle is
intended to be printed and completed on paper. This is a nice,
interactive way to learn a little about Egypt with your children.
Lastly this month is a site titled Contents
on Egypt.. This site is organized well with a nice background
and print that is slightly larger than the standard font size. The
information contained on this site is from arab.net, but the
background on this site is much more pleasing to the eye than the
bright lime green of arab.net. Contents on Egypt does offer some
nice pictures of Egyptian Art, including Papyrus Works of Art and
The Pharaohs Art Gallery. These pages take just a minute to load-
but the pictures are worth it. There is a lot of information
presented here in a very orderly and easy to follow pattern.
