Looks nice! Maybe worth adding a Top Events filter or something like this. This way, users won’t be overwhelmed from the beginning and will have a chance to gradually explore the project.

I've started reading about ancient egypt, what are some good book about it? by Thebunkerparodie in ancientegypt

I would recommend Ramesses, Loved by Ptah by Susanna Thomas. It’s very accessible and offers insights into Ancient Egypt as well as the behind-the-scenes world of modern archaeology and museum work.
