Historical Resources

Posted at 14:00 EST

A few highly recommended places online to get excellent information in order to enhance your roleplay posts ... or just for fun!

Akhet is a fantastic resource for those interested in/roleplaying in the Ancient Egyptian priesthood. Lots of information about deities, philosophical concepts, temple structure, daily life of the priesthood, and more can be found here. Created by the late, great Mirjam Nebet. Hopefully her RL husband will keep the site functioning as a testament to the memory of this *true* High Priestess.
Dr. Zahi Hawass - Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities ... which is to say, he is among the foremost authorities on ancient Egypt today. Has a section on the latest news and findings, so it's definitely worth a look!
Ancient Egyptian Virtual Temple - another fantastic resource on ancient Egyptian religion (with a particular focus on the Goddess Sekhmet) and culture, by Sekhmet Meritamen.
