neat feature of this site is the QuickTimeVR panoramas of the site (if

Oddysey
In Egypt: This is a totally cool site designed for Middle School kids
as a kind of online archaeology class. At the time it was first presented,
it was interactive, with kids being asked to email suggestions to solve
real problems encountered when out in the field on a dig. As of 6/3/97,
the Oddysey is technically over, in that you should not email them any
suggestions, but it is still worth a visit. And you never know, they may
start up the Oddysey again....
