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.

Heiress

The Heiress theory has been refuted since 1983 (Gay Robins). This theory is no longer accepted by Egyptologists. --AnnekeBart (talk) 21:37, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hatshepsut never married her father, there is no evidence that Neferure married Tuthmosis III (that all hinges on an stela that may or not have been reinscribed). The statements about the God's Wife of Amun were somewhat confusing, so I cleaned that up. There is also no evidence that Nefertiti was a co-ruler or regent. Those kind of speculations do not really belong in wikipedia I think. Or should be clearly labeled as speculative? --AnnekeBart (talk) 22:10, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image

I love Hatshepsut, Hatshepsut is great and is basically the most super cool person in history, but is an image of her in her capacity as king, wearing a king's crown, really the best choice for the leading image of this article? It might be better to find an image of a consort wearing regalia associated with Egyptian queen consorts-- the double-plumed crown, that dopey Nefertiti crown, etc. --Lost tiree, lost dutch :O (talk) 22:11, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I replaced the image with one of Hatshepsut before she crowned herself king, so this is a moot point now. She still isn't wearing a Queen's crown, but neither did the queens for much of Egyptian history before the later New Kingdom, so that's not a big deal. This article could use a bit of a rewrite to discuss the changing role of the queen over the course of Egyptian history, but it's finals time for me so I can't do it ATM. --Lost tiree, lost dutch :O (talk) 21:52, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

@Lost tiree, lost dutch :O revisiting this, I wonder if it would be best if we could find a representation of Meretseger, wife of Senusret III, and who I understand to be the first extant recording wehave of the Hmt nswt wrt? 80.209.139.203 (talk) 21:52, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Misplaced Section

The "Elsewhere in Africa" table is in the wrong place. How do we move it to the correct one? Maximajorian Viridio (talk) 19:51, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Took the Ⲟⲩⲏⲣ Ⲟⲩⲣϣ part out

This title is unsourced and doesn't appear anywhere else that I could find. I suspect it's fanfic: ⲟⲩⲏⲣ ultimately comes from wr "great", but means "how many" in Coptic (just like wr already could in earlier Egyptian). I have never seen ⲟⲩⲣϣ before nor does it appear in Crum's Dictionary, but I suspect it's a typo for ⲟⲩⲣⲱ. As it was, it didn't make any sense and also cannot be the direct successor to Hm.t nsw(t) wr.t which comes from completely different lexical material. If you want it back, please provide a cite. Thanks! MikuChan39 (talk) 22:13, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
