The
Ancient City of Athens “The Ancient City of Athens”
was created by a professor of Greek art and archaeology at
Indiana University. The flavor of the time is expertly captured
through the by-play of the images and text. The creator of the
link makes recommendations of print sources and even displays a
link entitled “Cool Things My Students Have Done,”
which can certainly be used as a springboard for other student
activities.
The Seven Wonders of
the Ancient World This is an intriguing site, with images
and information on all the wonders. One example is a map of the
ancient world where the locations of all the wonders can be seen
at a glance. Other links that can be found here are “forgotten”
as well as “modern” wonders. The Great Wall of China is
here, as is Machu Pichu. Did you know the Statue of Liberty is
included as a modern wonder?
