ABOUT 'BRITISH MUSEUM: ANCIENT EGYPT'
The
British Museum: Ancient Egypt website
is a highly illustrated website about ancient Egypt organized into the following main chapters:
Egyptian Life, Geography, Gods & Godesses, Mummification, Pharaoh, Pyramids,
Temples, Time, Trades, and Writing. There is also a Staff Room section for
teachers.
For each of the ten main chapters on
ancient Egypt
there is an atmospheric introductory 'Doormat' page to the chapter. The Doormat
page automatically switches after a few seconds to the introductory page for the
chapter. Each chapter is divided into three sections. The Ancient Egypt Story section presents
information in narrative form. The Explore section is a non-linear presentation
of information, enabling the user to make their own connections between the
different topics within the chapter. The Challenge is an activity which allows
users to practise historical, analytical, mathematical or observational skills
in relation to ancient Egypt.
