Cultural Atlas of Ancient Egypt -Book

This book contains maps and other illustrations of Ancient Egypt.


By John Baines

If I Were a Kid in Ancient Egypt: Children of the Ancient World- Book

This book looks really interesting because we can connect our lives to children of Ancient Egypt. I think it would be neet to make a venn diagram using this book as a reference. This book talks about pets and playtime, school, family, manners, and much much more.

Published in 2006 (so the information has been updated) by the Carus Publishing Company.

This is an interactive site -- one program teaches you how to create a mummy and another how to build a tomb! It is a history site on Egypt where you can view pictures and inscriptions from Ancient Egyptian tombs. This site contains primary sources, though in its self it is not a primary source.

http://www.angelfire.com/wi/egypt/

This page contains information for a sixth grade curriculum (probably put together by a teacher and his/her students. It has hieroglyphics (the complte listing), tombs, gods and goddesses, mummies, and pharaohs.

I have been finding a lot of information on hieroglyphics and building of tombs.

This site contains a hotlist of links to visit for more information on Ancient Egypt. For instance, one link converts your name into hieroglyphs.

Website: British Museum

http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/menu.html

From the British Museum -

It contains information about Egyptian life, pyramid building, Egyptian's three forms of writing, trades of the Egyptians, geography, time, mumification, and about gods and goddesses.

This will be helpful when we study hieroglyphic and pyramid building.
