High

This article has been rated as High-importance on the project's importance scale.

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.

Titulary and names --Cliau 03:51, 10 September 2006 (UTC) oops - pages backwards - I'll move comment- this page references "https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Canal_of_the_Pharaohs" ..[reply]

Canal of the Pharaohs

this page is referenced from a page on King Sesostiris/Senusret (1878 BC to 1839 BC) which says he built the canal of the pharos. https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Senusret_III

There's an unaccountd 1200 year differenc between that page and here as to when the canal was built.

The earlier date seems agreed to by Richard Pankhurst in "The Ethiopians, A History" Blackwell Publishing. And he cites, Brested 1905 pp183-4 "A History of Egypt"

btw Also, this article mentions a difference in height. Which was higher, the nile or the red sea?

He didn't build it.[1] and[2] Brested was going on ancient texts, but the archaeology says otherwise. I'll edit the article later. Doug Weller talk 17:09, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Royal titulary

In the infobox there is a "show" link in the Royal titulary part; but nothing happens when you touch it. Not just this pharaoh. Other pharaohs are the same. Aminabzz (talk) 17:00, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Aminabzz - This usually happens because editors place hyphens in citations, which for reasons unbeknownst to me breaks display links in the article. I don't have that issue with this article, but have replaced the hyphens with endashes regardless. Mr rnddude (talk) 20:30, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New photo from Egyptian Museum

I have a photo from Cairo which doesn't seem to be on here. Is there any interest in adding it or do you have enough photos. 82.19.231.27 (talk) 12:18, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
