Thanks very much to Stan Thomas for forwarding the above resource on the GlyphStudy list. A number of resources are available on this site which could prove to be a very useful companion to any hieroglyph studies. The Internet Archive is also a potentially useful research tool for other areas of Egyptology, and appears to have quite a good search engine (which makes a nice change):

Thanks very much to Gilbert on the GlyphStudy group for sharing this resource with the rest of us (on the website of the University of St Andrews). The pages have been put together by Dr Mark-Jan Nederhof from the School of Computer Science at the University, who helped translate some of the pieces shown on the Ancient Egyptian Language website.
At this site, resources on some Ancient Egyptian texts can be found. There are a number of possibilities for viewing these resources:
- If your browser knows Java 1.4, and you have a fast internet connection and a fast machine, then see the applet below. Just click on the black links to expand the index, or click on the blue links to view a text.
- If you have Java 1.4 installed, but you have a slow machine or a slow internet connection, you might want to download the texts and the visualization software.
- In other cases, you may favour viewing the PDF files.
Options (1) and (2) above provide maximal flexibility with respect to layout. With (3) the layout is entirely fixed.

The Internet Archive is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, and the general public.
Another new theory of how the Giza pyramids were built
Comite Provincial de la UNEAC
If you speak Spanish and have a love of pyramid building theories, the above page has diagrams and figures showing a theory by Carlos E. Rodríguez Varona.
La siguiente hipótesis pretende demostrar la probable técnica utilizada para la construcción, específicamente la elevación y ubicación a determinada altura, de los elementos constructivos que componen las pirámides egipcias del valle de Gizeh, en específico la pirámide de Keops. Se expone una teoría que utiliza dos tipos de rampas: las de carácter estático, situadas en el interior del cuerpo de la pirámide, construidas con el cuerpo de ésta; y otras más pequeñas de carácter dinámico, ubicadas sobre los escalones de los niveles, de estructura flexible y variable, fácil de trasladar y maniobrar respecto a las anteriores. Presentando ambas una ángulo de inclinación casi nulo en la pendiente.
See the above pages for further details.
