World History
Africa: The Cradle of Civilization - An interactive educational site that explores Africa's history from the dawn of mankind to modern day. The site includes two lesson plans for teachers, video and audio clips, and games.
This is one of many excellent history themed sites hosted by ThinkQuest. My big complaint with ThinkQuest is that they tend to drop sites with no notice.
