As I am preparing for our Classical Conversations Cycle 1 year to begin. I have found some wonderful Ancient Egypt sites that will be a blast for the kids. I have an entire file that I will slowly be updating to this site, so check back as I have time to upload these resources.

1. Ancient Egypt - Guardian Egypt
An amazing site with everything imaginable about Ancient Egypt.
In the site owner's words, "Now, through the marvel of modern technology, you can visit Egypt, both past and present! You can actually "surf" the ancient world! Here are my Egypt pages which provide great pictures, facts and information about Egypt, and offer many links to Egyptology and Egypt resources throughout the Internet.

2. Tour Egypt - kids on tour in Egypt
