 * Websites on Ancient Egypt **


 * Here are some authoritative and factual websites:**

//Odyssey Online Egypt//, Michel C. Carlos Museum of Emory University, []
This website is built by a museum linked to a university in the USA and uses artefacts in its collection to illustrate the culture of Ancient Egypt. Click on the **__underlined words__** to explore that subject. Some words have a play icon next to them (like on a media player on your computer) and If you click on this, you’ll find out how to pronounce that word. This website is a good introduction to life and culture in Ancient Egypt; you’ll probably have to use some other resources to finish your task but this is a good start.

**//History: Egyptians,//** 2011, BBC, []
This website has indepth articles by experts on a range of topics about Ancient Egypt. The section on **Daily Life** is particularly good and useful for question 3 and the last subheading in this section (**The Story of the Nile**) is good for – you guessed it! – question 2. The section on **Pharaohs and Dynasties** might be too detailed for question 1, but if you want to delve deeper into the lives of individual pharaohs there’s a lot of information there.

//Life **in Ancient Egypt,**// September 14 2011,Carnegie Museum of Natural History,
[] Accompanying an exhibition The Carnegie Museum of Natural History has on display that draws on their Ancient Egyptian artefacts, this website has good information to help you with question 2 (**Natural World**, and the sub headings in that section, The Inundation and Trade) and question 3 (**Daily Life** and all its subsections).

//Mysteries of Egypt,// April 30 2011, Canadian Museum of Civilisation,
[|http://www.civilization.ca/cmc/exhibitions/civil/egypt/egypte.shtml#menu]

The Canadian Museum of Civilisation’s website has great information; just click on **Egyptian Civilisation** and at the bottom of the introduction you’ll find links to sections on **Government** (question 1; once in this section, there are further links to more information on pharaohs), **Geography** (question 2), **Daily Life** (question 3) and **Sciences** (question 4). Once you get used to navigating around this site, I think you’ll find it very useful; it even has a **Glossary**, so if there are some terms you don’t understand you should find a definition there.
