More? Yes, I’m back and I’ve done it again. I’ve repeated my
search through the many Egypt-related web sites and come up with
four more sites that I think are worthwhile to visit.
The first site I will discuss is titled Photographic
Images of Ancient Egypt. This is a really well done site.
There aren’t very many graphics but the color throughout the
site is good and the background is good-looking; yet simple and
not distracting. The whole site is very well organized and easy to
follow. The menu is very nicely done with easy to read blue print
on a black background. A common problem I see with sites is that
there are either only pictures or only information; that is not
the case with this site. The photographs within the site are good
and offer a large amount of information accompanying each
category.
The next site is called Ancient
Egypt. I’m sure a lot of time went in to this very
attractive informative site. The
opening page has a great color map and below that you’ll find a
timeline. It doesn’t end there. Ancient Egypt is well laid out
with large, easy to read print. There is information on many
different topics such as Hatshesput, Kings Valleys Tombs,
Pyramids, and Mummification. The information contained within
these pages is concise and helpful with very good pictures and
illustrations included.
Virtual Egypt is the
next site that I will discuss. Now, in my opinion the top of the
opening page is a little cluttered but once you get past that the
site is quite pleasing to the eye. Virtual Egypt is well laid out,
with an easy to read menu including such things as mummies, maps,
gods and pharaohs. The hieroglyphic section of this site is very
impressive. Of the sites I have seen so far this one has by far
the most hieroglyphics. The site also has some good pictures to
help illustrate the large amount of information presented. Virtual
Egypt also offers Quick Time Panoramas. These panoramas offer an
exciting interactive way to see some of the famous attractions of
Egypt from your very own home!
While this next site is not quite as extensive as the first
three, I still think it deserves some attention. Fruit
of the Nile is a simple yet very attractive site. As I did
when I first visited the site, one may think that since it has
only three categories listed on the main page there isn’t much
information on the site; on the contrary, Fruit of the Nile has a
lot of concise, easy to understand information on each of the
three categories it offers. There are nice graphics throughout the
site, though not many. I like the nature of this site and the fact
that it does not crowd the nice background with graphics just to
be "flashy".
