Feel Like Poking Around inside a Pyramid?

Or how about building a Viking ship and setting sail for some nice looting and pillaging? Or maybe you’d rather dive for sunken treasure. Now’s your chance…

If the games on this BBC History site are anywhere near as good as they look, we’re in for some serious fun. I took a quick peek at the new Egyptian archaelogy game, Death in Sakkara, and good golly, does it have Jane’s name all over it. I’ll be back with her report later.
