British Museum Ancient Egypt Web Sites The British Museum has some of the finest examples of ancient Egyptian artifacts in the world. Along with the Germans, the British were the first people outside of Egypt to be interested in exploring ancient Egypt’s life, language and beliefs. They brought many artifacts home to Europe. For our project, the British Museum’s site on Ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses site can be found here: http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/gods/home.html

The Metropolitan Museum’s Egyptian Research Web Sites Soon after the Europeans became fascinated by ancient Egypt, people in the U.S. also began to catch on. Large Museums in the U.S., including The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan and the Brooklyn Museum bought and imported large quantities of antiquities from Egypt. The Met even houses a whole temple. The Met’s page on temple worship can be found here: http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/dats/hd_dats.htm
