----------------------------Original message---------------------------- FYI, a site of potential interest. --------------- Splendors of Ancient Egypt [RealAudio, QuickTimeVR] http://www.chron.com/content/interactive/voyager/egypt/tour/index.html The Houston Chronicle, as part of its Virtual Voyager series, in conjunction with the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, has made this virtual tour of ancient Egyptian artifacts available via the Web. The site, which is a selection of an HMFA exhibition running from September 22, 1996 to March 30, 1997, consists of 67 artifacts, along with descriptions and general time period, and 4 QuickTimeVR artifacts that users can move around to get a better look at. There are also two RealAudio files, one a 55 minute tour that can be listened to separately or used in conjunction with selected parts of the site, and the other a 1 hour and 25 minute lecture by Dr. Arne Eggebrecht, director of the Pelizaeus Museum, Hildesheim, Germany, from whose holdings this exhibit was drawn.[JS] From The Scout Report, December 6, 1996, Department of Computer Sciences, University of Wisconsin: Edward H.
