New gods are coming soon... stay tuned!

June 30, 2006 - Sadly, this web site has not been updated in quite a while, much to Management's dismay.

However, we would like to update the web site with new articles and information and we are a little stumped as to where to begin. Therefore, dear reader, are there any the Gods, the Myths, or the Symbols that you would like to learn more about? Perhaps there is some general Egyptian mythology questions that you would like answered? Please contact us and we will work on some new articles for you.

(Please make sure to check the web site to make sure that the information you are looking for isn't already posted.)

January 22, 2004 - I am pleased to announce that Ancient Egypt: the Mythology has begun a new chapter in its seven year history. Welcome to version 2.0!!!

Along with the site re-design, you will notice that we now are featuring advertising and a Pay Pal donate link. It is not my intention for this site to ever break a profit, only to break even. I figure that just in the cost of the books I have purchased to use in researching this site, I have paid probably about $1,000.00 US. Plus there is the monthly web hosting fee. if this site can just earn $20.00 a month and just cover that, I will be happy.

So if this site helped you with your homework, enhanced your understanding of Egypt, or entertained you even a little bit. Please consider making a donation...

May 19, 2003 - The Bookstore has been updated. Shop! shop! shop!

May 17, 2003 - I can't believe its been over two years since the site has been online and updated. I used to be upset if I waited more than a month to add something new. In any case, Ancient Egypt: the Mythology is obviously online again... but this time at www.EgyptianMyths.net

At the moment, I will be concentrating on general clean-up of the original site, including removing orphaned files and images. Also I will be fully integrating my style sheets throughout the site. Hopefully, this will make for quicker edits and additions. More changes to follow...

October 9, 2000 - Fixed that ugly broken image link in the guestbook. I am getting really tired of saying that I am "fixing" things on the site, but about 6 months of neglect has led to a lot of miscellaneous problems.

By the way, the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, California is displaying an excellent collection of artifacts on loan from the British Museum. If you are in the area, you should not miss it.

October 1, 2000 - Busy, busy weekend netted a lot of new information and pretty pictures, for you, my devoted reader. Here we go:

Next, a new image in the title page rotation. This one is of the famed falcon pendant from Tutankhamun's tomb.

July 16, 2000 - I feel like just a loser for effectively not updating AE:tM in almost 8 months. But in any case, please note the new e-mail address to use to ask questions, Netjert@EgyptianMyths.net.

Plus, I added more information about the symbolism of Colors.

Plus, plus, a new navigation bar is in place at the bottom of all content pages. The ba graphic on the left will take you back to the main page and the pyramids graphic on the right will take you to the top of whatever page you are currently at.

Also, there is "Last Updated" information and a copyright notice. Bye bye ugly form "Return to the Previous Page" thingie. May the God of HTML forgive me for that one.

Let me know what you think! And as always, let me know what type of Egyptian mythology information should be added to the site. Thanx!

Jan. 31, 2000 - Okay, there isn't a good way to say this, but someone gave AE:tM a "Web Book" award a long time ago. I lost the e-mail so I don't know who it was or for what. But I'm really thrilled nevertheless! It's online now though.

Jan. 27, 2000 - Updated and corrected some broken links. AE:tM has also won its first award of the last year of this millennium, Cyber-Teddy Top 500 of the Web.

In a fit of boredom I did a census of the deities online here at AE:tM and there are now exactly FIFTY! Neat, huh? And there are 38 symbols! That's an awful lot!

I hope you all appreciate the work that maintaining AE:tM entails. For the past 3 years there has been only one lonely little person working on this site (and that will be the extent of the staff as long as I continue to be the perfectionist bitch that I am). If you would like to show your appreciation... click on an ad every now and then. Those ads are what keeps AE:tM online. Advertising proceeds provide the money for both the server space and for more books used in the research of everything online.

And please excuse my French...
