We are just hours away from entering the fascinating world of Ancient Egypt. While we anxiously await the start of our next unit, lets get prepared by getting in the Ancient Egypt mindset. 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. For the next two days, while we get started with Ancient Egypt, I want you to scour 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.

I believe this is a great website because it tells me all about pharoahs, pyramids, and the daily life of the egyptians. The website's url is:http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/menu.html
I went to www.google.com and typed in "Ancient Egypt" then i clicked on a website that said Ancient Egypt and it shows mummifcation, rebuilding something and much more.
the link is:
www.philae.nu/akhet/index.html
I think it is cool because it has so many fascinating things about Ancient Egypt. Temples, Daily life, and even festivals!
I couldn't figure out how to get the link part on but the site is called ancient Egypt for kids. It is a site that has a lot of good games like explore the tomb and other great games like guessing games and puzzle games. It also has lots of good information places on it about the tombs and other things.
I'm so excited to start Egypt, it's one of the things I look forward to most this year, but I still like the Middle Ages a little better.

The first video is about mummification, it showed the steps and I thought it had good details in it. Then the second video is a National Geographic thing on Egypt.
