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.

A fact from Senenmut appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 24 March 2004. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Ancient Egyptian architect Senemut was allegedly the lover of the Pharoah Hatshepsut?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2004/March.

Starting page: (for discussion of 'Sacred of the Most Sacred' ).

Djeser-djeseru

Djeser–DjeserU
in hieroglyphs

Not to confuse any of the non-initiated in hieroglyphs, but a simple discussion of Djeser-djeserU" is needed.

The capital U means the plural (at word ending).

Djeser is the word for "holy" or "sacred".

I cannot say where all the later 'religious' names originated, but 'djeser-djeserU' , would be very equivalent to "Holy of holy's", (Holy of Most holy)

"Sacred of the Most sacred," would be another good name.

I am not sure that 'Sublime of the Sublimes' gets the message across.

(The block of glyphs is only approximate; the S should be smaller, and under the head of the cobra.)MMcAnnis, YumaAZMmcannis 06:07, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Would it be possible for this article to include a discussion of the Senenmut star map?[1]^{p. 23} Thank you. – RJH (talk) 16:38, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea, go for it. I was lucky enough to be shown it by Francisco Martín Valentín who is the archaeologist in charge of the site preservation project which will include a reproduction of the star map. Tourists haven't been able to visit for several years (and it won't be reopened for tourists at all). [2]. Dougweller (talk) 18:38, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
