This is a curated collection of helpful resources for those with a keen interest in Egyptology. To aid our Egyptian users, we’ve incorporated useful links to English language courses and foundational computer skills, based on their expressed needs. This list serves as an ideal launchpad for those aiming to deepen their understanding through a robust academic foundation. Designed with user-friendliness in mind, our list provides easy navigation, with each link leading directly to the web page hosting the desired resource. We envision this initiative as a living, evolving project, continually expanding in scope and depth. Our aspiration is to transform this project from being a mere information repository into an engaging community. We wholeheartedly encourage users to provide feedback and report any inconsistencies, as their contribution is instrumental in our quest for continuous improvement.
