- Pharaonic burial practices continued to
develop during the Third Dynasty, lasting from 2686-2613BC, which marked the beginnings of
the Old Kingdom. The first of Egypt's pyramids were constructed during the 27th century
BC. The Step Pyramid of Saqqara built for King Zoser by his chief architect Imhotep, who
later generations deified, is considered by many to be the first pyramid ever constructed
in Egypt.

CHAMPOLLION (1790-1832) Article

copyright 1995 KMT Communications
The Father of Egyptology Epithet was awarded to French linguist Jean
François Champollion for his having been instrumental in pioneering decipherment of the
previously unreadable ancient scripts of Egypt, thereby making full study of that nation's
early history and culture possible for other Nineteenth Century scholars who followed him
in the new field of study...
The Rosetta Stone is
inevitably linked with Champollion, and it is true (facilitated by the monument s three
parallel inscriptions in hieroglyphs, demotic and Greek) that he recognized on it the name
Ptolmys in Greek and demotic, and thereby he could identify the same cartouched name in
hieroglyphs.
- Glyph for Windows CCER
- is a hieroglyphic text processing
program that runs within the Microsoft Windows environment. It offers the Egyptologist an
easy and modern means for processing hieroglyphic texts on computer and produces a fine
quality output on any kind of printer.

You will find information on what it does, how it looks and how to get it.
- Great Pyramid is a rational (in the
mathematical sense) structure, designed and built by normal people.
- This is a radical statement about the
Pyramid, especially on the internet because all web pages that I have been able to find
that deal with the Pyramid, maintain that it was built and/or inspired by either God or
space aliens. Most don't even consider that it could be a rational structure designed and
built by normal people. ©1986-1996, Terrance G. Nevin

Love Poems From ancient Egypt- The ancient Egyptians left behind various
love poems which relate the emotions felt all those thousands of years ago. And yet, they
can be read as if they apply to us in the 20th century - has anything really changed? I
think not. Mark T. Rigby
M.A. Mansoor Collection of Amarna Era art - This world-renowned collection is justifiably honored as one

- This is the great temple of Abu Simbel,
dedicated to the glory of pharao Ramses II. Though the temple is officially dedicated to
the triad Amon-Ra, Ptah and Ra-Harakhte, its front is dominated by four gigantic statues
of the great pharaoh himself. He had this temple built in this otherwise desolate area on
the actual site of a much older shrine of a local personification of the god Horus.

making in ancient Egypt:
- Rediscovering
Ancient Egyptian Beer (text from a dead link)
In 1990, the Egyptian Exploration
Society approached Scottish and Newcastle Breweries for help. The Society was looking for
technical and financial support to launch an investigation into beer-making in ancient
Egypt. This was the beginning of a partnership which, over the past five years, has
considerably increased the understanding of the brewing process as it was at the time of
Tutankhamun almost 3,500 years ago. In this exclusive article for Brewers' Guardian,
Delwen Samuel and Peter Bolt of Scottish Courage Brewing Ltd describe the detection work
involved in the project.
Trivia:
This is not an advertisement but I
highly recommend the following video: The Pyramids and the Cities of the Pharaohs
(75min - 1995). It's distributed by Questar Video Inc., P.O. Box 11345, Chicago, IL
60611-0345. 1-800-544-8422. This is a great documentary where the land of the Pharaohs
rises from the sand through the work of Egyptologists, historians and video artists.
