How the modern book form originated
Theban Mapping Project (lots of information on the Valley of the Kings in Egypt)
List of Egyptian gods (actually a site for children, but with some clear basic information)
Daily life in ancient Egypt (an enormous amount of information, very detailed, and well grouped into categories: almost anything you might want to know is here)
More Egyptian texts (this is a very long list of Egyptian writing, from a source that looks serious and reputable, based on the texts)
Egyptian language (with discussion of pronunciation)
Life in Mesopotamia (from the University of Chicago)
Gilgamesh Restaurant (nothing really to do with the story we're reading, but it's kind of cool anyway--look at the Gallery section)
Greek religion (a serious discussion, a lot more than the usual "Zeus was the king of the gods" list)
Lysistrata Project (a site inspired by the play)
