Exploring Art in the Ancient World
Michael C. Carlos Museum
This is a site about art in the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Rome, Greece, the Near East, and Africa and what everyday life was like. You'll find pictures of artifacts, statues, jewelry, and furniture, plus video clips, pronunciations and more. I like the maps because I think the location of an ancient civilization was important to its development.Recommended by Zack Dale
