ETERNAL EGYPT WEBSITE
I found the link to Eternal Egypt on the bottom of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina homepage. Apparently it is a project of theirs.
The Center for Documentation of Cultural and Natural Heritage, CULTNAT, was established in January 2000, as a project operating under the auspices of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology. By presidential decree, CULTNAT became, in February 2003, a Center affiliated with Bibliotheca Alexandrina and supported by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, thus asserting its identity and gaining physical status.
Anyway, the site is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Anyone wishing to learn about ancient Egypt should begin here, in my opinion, as I've spent numerous hours looking on the web for Egypt reference websites, and by far, this is the best I've come across.
From the intro page:
Welcome to Eternal Egypt, which brings to light over five thousand years of Egyptian civilization. Eternal Egypt is a living record of a land rich in art and history, people and places, myths and religions. The stories of Eternal Egypt are told using the latest interactive technologies, high-resolution imagery, animations, virtual environments, remote cameras, three-dimensional models and more.
There are links to interactive activities, museums, library, timelines, maps, and tons of digital photos. If you're interested in browsing, start with the Highlights on the homepage, but if interested in a specific topic, I'd begin with the link titled "Topics" on the left-hand side-bar.
