Hunting for Egypt Websites


We are just hours away from entering the fascinating world of Ancient Egypt. This place is loaded with fascinating things like the sphynx, mummification, Nile River, and religion. It is a place that witnessed the building of the most amazing project in the history of our world, the pyramids. It is a place that once you enter, you don't want to leave until you've learned as much as possible. I want you to "hunt" the internet for great ancient Egypt websites. Before you run to Google and start searching, some things you need to know. First, you can search for broad sites about Egypt by simply searching "ancient Egypt" or, you can get more specific and search for sites about certain things like pyramids or mummification. Our goal is to create a solid list of interesting Egyptian websites. I also want you to search for Ancient Egypt games or online activities. Search for YouTube videos that we could share and watch, search for cool pictures.
Some websites might not offer very good information.

Use this guide to help you:
.com sites: anyone can have these websites. Some info might not be good.
.gov sites: these sites would be produced by a government agency and should be good.
.edu sites: these sites are produced by colleges or educational agencies so they are good sites
.net sites: these sites are also trustworthy sites

Task: Search the internet for great Ancient Egypt websites. Search for informational sites, videos, pictures, online games and activities. When you find one you want to share, post a comment with the Link AND a short description of what the site is and why you think its good.

Optional Post, but please help me out and find some cool sites!

Www.ancient egypt.co.uk is a site by the British Museum. They have topics like Egyptian Life, Geography, Gods and Goddesses, Mummification, Pharaohs, Pyramids, Time, Trade and Writing. Under each topic there is a story, explore and challenge. The challenge in a game. It is fun to play the games and you learn from them too. There is also a link for teachers to use.
