An excellent list of sites related to Ancient History, focussing mainly on the Classical West and the Near East. I wonder why the Chinese and Indians and others still don't count as 'Ancient History' to most people? A great collection, though.

This group is dedicated to Ancient Civs, especially Egypt. I didn't want to just pinch their bookmarks as that's a bit rude (seeings I'm in this group) so I thought bookmarking their bookmarks, which will update, the best way. There are some great sites here.
