WEBSITES DEALING WITH EGYPTOLOGY
General Resources and Link collections
- The Egyptology Resources Home Page: website of
Dr. Nigel Strudwick. It has extensive links to Egypt/Egyptology sites on the Web, an overview
with news items about Egypt (digs etc.), and a large section
devoted to the Theban tomb of Senneferi (TT99). Moreover, it
carries two terrific resources:
the list of email addresses of Egyptologists created by John Baines:
and the Beinlich Wordlist, a search engine for Ancient Egyptian
created by Nigel Strudwick.
-
ABZU Page on Egypt: a catalogue of resources on the Internet relating to Ancient Egypt,
by Charles E. Jones of the Oriental Institute, Chicago.
- CCER page: the website of the
Centre for Computer-aided Egyptological Research (CCER), carrying demos for Glyph for Windows and Macscribe, Lists of Egyptologists
and of Egyptological Institutions/Museums, and many other features.
- The Ancient Egypt Site:
website of Jacques Kinnaer. This award-winning site contains nothing
short of two interactive books. One on the history of AE (overview
of the periods and pharaohs, per king titulary and names (in
hieroglyphs), good illustrations), and one on AE language and
writing (intro to hieroglyphs and writing, the royal titulary, etc.).
The site further contains a Glossary (to AE keywords accross
the site) and a great Bibliography (over 280 titles, sorted by topic).
And finally a section with links to AE sites on the Net, a list with
movies dealing with Egypt, and a listing of Museums, Universities
and Societies dealing with Egyptology.
- Reeder's Egypt Page: website of
Greg Reeder, with sections devoted to: the intruiging tomb of the two
manicurists (5th dyn.), the mysterious _tekenu_ figure of funeral
ceremonies, the _muu_ dancers, the Mehy love poems,
and the ithyphallic ba-bird of Re (scene Opet temple Karnak).
Further KMT magazine, a Gallery of paintings and
photographs, and a large collection of links.
- Fryer's Egypt Page:
website of Stephen Fryer, who collects on his website links dealing with the Egyptian and Coptic
languages and scripts; of the site-owner's own hand are 'A Little
Egyptian Reeding Book' (exercises for beginners), a part of the bibliography
of Ahmose son of Ebana in hieroglyphs, a debating piece on Egyptian Pronunciation,
and very noteworthy: Basic Lessons in Hieratic, also containing the complete text of the
Shipwrecked Sailor in both hieratic and hieroglyphic.
- Hall of Ma'at: collects essays and links which look
critically at (or refute) "alternative" theories about ancient civilisations, among which many
non-mainstream theories that haunt Egyptology and that usually are offtopic for EEF (e.g., the
Geology of the Great Sphinx, the Orion Theory, Coacaine mummies, Afrocentrism, etc).
Note: This section will only contain the above 'switchboards' (most of them of EEF members),
which have ever expanding collections of links. Please assist them to keep their collections
up to date and growing. I leave the collecting to them, so requests for including a link to
your Egypt page in this section will be in vain (unless it fits under one of the FAQs elsewhere
on this site). What you may do is submit your site for signalling in the EEF NEWS;
mainstream Egyptological sites only, no fringe stuff. That by the way also goes for submissions to the
above websites. You can also submit sites to the following database, maintained by Mark Warden:
- the World Archaeology News Search engine (WANS):
"WANS has been designed to help users find the latest information on
archaeology, new digs and finds. Archaeological information
is constantly being added and indexes are updated weekly so
that new archaeology information and sources can be found
at a click of a button."
