 * SOME WEBSITES TO BEGIN WITH....**

Theban Mapping Site -- this is the one we looked at on Tuesday. [] PBS allows persistent links to search results (I hope) so here's the one for Ancient Egypt. [] and this is from Nova [] Best History Web Sites has an index running down the left hand side. I've made the link here just to their Egypt site but you might want to explore their other resources. [] Guardians? Hmmm...I wonder who this is but the site looks wonderful. [] The BBC, like PBS in the US, has some fantastic links. You need to do a key word search (for example, Ancient Egypt) to find the topic you're interested in. [] NEW WEBSITE **--this just appeared in my library listserv. It's all about Creation Myths worldwide with a distinct NON- EMPHASIS on the distinction/correctness of the Judeo-Christian. Interesting. []

Enter the Mummy Maker's Workshop -- [] ShowMe UK....Games and activities [] Games from National Geographic [] Archeology Magazine leads you to dig sites: []
 * GAMES AND INTERACTIVE WEBSITES**

[] This one seems pretty good and the links seem to work. [] [] I like this one but it seems like there are TOO MANY links for each task, especially since some of the links are broken. This seems like a webquest that's ready for recycling...with you sorting through the links to choose the best/active ones before you give it to your kids.
