This site is dedicated to Ancient Egypt. After a long period of inactivy, the Egyptian Dre@m is back with new subjects, a new navigation system and much more...
Any ideas of improvement are welcome as it is the only way for me to adapt texts, graphics and subjects to my visitors' wishes. I know that there are sites containing much more information than this site but I try to keep the amount of subjects limited and the choice of those subjects is based on the general "atmosphere" of this site.
