WikiProject Ancient Egypt to-do list:

Needed articles.

We should have an article on every pyramid and every nome in Ancient Egypt. I'm sure the rest of us can think of other articles we should have.

Cleanup.

To start with, most of the general history articles badly need attention. And I'm told that at least some of the dynasty articles need work. Any other candidates?

Standardize the Chronology.

A boring task, but the benefit of doing it is that you can set the dates !(e.g., why say Khufu lived 2589-2566? As long as you keep the length of his reign correct, or cite a respected source, you can date it 2590-2567 or 2585-2563)

Stub sorting

Anyone? I consider this probably the most unimportant of tasks on Wikipedia, but if you believe it needs to be done . . .

Data sorting.

This is a project I'd like to take on some day, & could be applied to more of Wikipedia than just Ancient Egypt. Take one of the standard authorities of history or culture -- Herotodus, the Elder Pliny, the writings of Breasted or Kenneth Kitchen, & see if you can't smoothly merge quotations or information into relevant articles. Probably a good exercise for someone who owns one of those impressive texts, yet can't get access to a research library.

I'm no expert but this article doesn't mention what his prenomen is; you have to go to the page on the thirtieth dynasty for that. Isn't that bad form? Stevekl 16:17, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Having sleped?Sex with Olympus

I did not know the Eghptian king had Sex with Olympias,(mother of Alexander who had sex with Philip of Macadon and was also said to have sex with Alexander and his girlfriend and raped Alexanders befriend).Dressed out as Amun What was the child called after being born form this sexual intercouse?I would love to know more about the Sex and what was done during it

I am assuming you're not a native English speaker and therefore missed the intent of describing that episode. The Egyptians disliked foreign rule, so the intent of the tale was to make Alexander a legitimate heir to the throne of Egypt as the son of Nectanebo-Ammun and Olympias. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.233.71.222 (talk) 04:37, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reference

The reference to H. R. Hall. "Cambridge's Ancient History of Greece" does not do to much good; it's lacking year, which volume, and the link goes to some not related advertisment. --Finn Bjørklid (talk) 22:09, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Portraits

The page for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston doesn't mention a head of this pharaoh, granite or otherwise, but the page for the Museum of Fine Arts, Lyon mentions the green sandstone head shown in the Infobox. It seems likely that this is the museum that has the pharaoh's head. Can someone verify whether there are 2 heads or 1, where they are, and their material?Mikenlesley (talk) 02:35, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thoth was thrice-great, not twice

The black siltstone obelisk is captioned saying Thoth was twice-great, when everybody knows it was thrice.

Indeed, even viewing more details on the image, the true caption is "thrice-great". 98.97.119.103 (talk) 17:13, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
