Egypt
http://museum.agropolis.fr/pages/expos/egypte/index.htm
Currently only in French, but shortly to be published in English as well, this site is about Egyptian cereals in general. Different sections look at the basics of cereals in ancient Egypt, bread making (ancient and contemporary), and the use of cereals in different contexts. A fascinating site, even with my abysmal French - I can't wait for the English language version to arrive!
There is also a link on the site to the English language website of the Dokki agricultural museum in Giza, Cairo, which is well worth a visit in its own right: (http://museum.agropolis.fr/pages/expos/egypte/fr/museum_cairo/index.htm).
