How to Use  the Glossary in The Global Egyptian Museum

The glossary is linked to two types of items.  One type has a picture and a description.  The second type of item has an EYE symbol beside it.  These have a small panoramic movie of the site.  You control where you are "looking" in the movie.  The one of Aswan is typical and interesting.  You can "stand" in one spot and see the Nile and Elephantine Island as you "turn around" by moving your cursor.  Be sure to try the when you get your 24 hour trial login or register for membership.

The top menu is a specialty menu.  It presents information organized in different ways. The Glossary is a list of terms and sites with links to descriptions and pictures illustrating those terms and sites.

 

When you click on Glossary in the top menu you are presented with an alphabetical list of items.
Click on an item with no added symbol and you get an explanatory page like this one.  Note that there are many links to related topics.
Click on an item that has an EYE symbol beside it and you get an explanatory page with a Quicktime movie.   These are fun to use, but may take a while to download.   You can control where you look by moving the cursor within the picture area.
