SISYPHOS – Internet Resources on Egyptology, Ancient Near Eastern Studies and Classical Archaeology

The subject information guide SISYPHOS, which has been developed by the Heidelberg University Library, is of equal interest to the expert or the layman.  It offers a wide range of Internet resources for the areas of Egyptology, Ancient Near Eastern Studies and Classical Archaeology, including subject portals, picture databases and mailing lists.  The currency of the collection is guaranteed by the use of a link checker.
