The dramatic seated statues of Ramesses the Great sit by the Nile in Nubia, staring sternly at the passersby. Anyone sailing from Nubia down the Nile knew that this was the territory of the Pharaoh. Nearby, in a second rock cut temple, Ramesses and his beloved Queen Nefertari stride out of the rock face toward the sun. Abu Simbel was built by Ramesses the Great in his middle years and includes statues of his Great Queen Nefertari and some of his chldren. In contrast, the temple at Philae is a traditional temple, beautifully situated on an island in the Nile near Aswan. Philiae dates from Cleopatra's time and includes a temple dedicated to Hathor. The Egyptian temples at Philae and Abu Simbel were rescued from the rising waters of the Nile in the 1960's. Each was situated in the most favorable setting to accentuate its drama and beauty. The 34 views in this screen saver include the nighttime light show at Philae.

The Egyptian Portaits of Winifred Brunton bring to life the statues and mummy portraits of Egypt's Kings, Queens and Nobles. She painted in glowing colors on pieces of Ivory, producing luminous and vibrant representations. 31 portraits are presented in this screen saver, including Tutankhamun, Akhenaten, Tetisheri, Senwosret, Tutmose, Tiye, Amenhotep, Nefertiti, Hatshepsut, Pepi, Amenemhat, Norfret, Narmer, Khafre, Menkaure, Ranefer, Ankhesenamen, Horemhab, Mutnodjmet, Smenkhkare, Seti, Rameses, Taharka, and Cleopatra. Most of Brunton's portaits were used in illustration of two books; The Kings and Queens of Ancient Egypt, and The Great Ones of Ancient Egypt. Brunton observed the statues in the museums and the reliefs in tombs to reproduce the details of the faces of these ancient rulers and nobles, and their costumes. She accurately reproduced the clothing as shown in the Egyptian art of each period. While some scholars think she accentuated the glamour of the portaits, most believe that she has faithfully captured the Egypt of the past. This screensaver presents these beautiful portaits on a magic background that chooses it's color based on the colors in the portrait.

A fascinating card game for two in which you play against the computer. In this version you play against Winston Churchill. It was Winston's favourite game in the early 20th century.
The original game of Bezique is the ancestor of American Pinochle, which, along with other versions such as Rubicon Bezique and Six-Pack Bezique have become more popular. However if you want a game for two people this is the best.
Using a 64-card deck consisting of two 52-card decks from which the deuces through sixes have been removed you have to try and make various combinations such as sequences, marriages of Kings and Queens and of course Bezique which is the Queen of Diamonds and the Jack of Spades.
Full instructions for playing and graphical descriptions of the combinations you can make are included.

Driven by an unpredictable god who urges them to battle the Elves begin a massive march towards their fate. The noble Elves rule their people from elaborate fortresses within the trees.

The noble Elves owe much to the Empire... The wild Elves have become forest predators. Their intolerance of the civilized world has reached new extremes and they have reduced themselves to highwaymen and bandits. They tolerate the noble bloodline but do not respect it.
