I have taken all the info from this thread started by Laura http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/Forum1/HTML/000826.html and collated it here. Removing duplicates and categorising, some sites didn’t have any explanation or I couldn’t fit them so I have left them at the bottom.

When you add a site I will edit it into this post so people don’t have to hunt through the posts. It has actually developed into a useful set information, well done ES
