B

This article has been rated as B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.

Mid

This article has been rated as Mid-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.

Untitled

Is that what they called it in ancient Egyptian; "Third Dynasty?" That sounds amazingly like our English word. --David depaoli

No. As soon as I can find out the Egyptian wording I will be changing it. --Lir

And then I will change it back to the English and then suggest to the wikipedia mailing list that your move privilages be revoked. I'm tired of having to move pages back because of your "my way or the highway" ideas that are counter to our well-accepted naming conventions. --mav

Names

I have added the standard naming templates, as the image used was flagged as being possibly deleted (from 2004!). Markh 20:46, 25 September 2005 (UTC)he was not very popular.[reply]

Imhotep Vs. Joseph

Please can you provide up to date references for any additions – a 70 year old reference isn't exactly current. Also this is not an article about Imhotep Markh 17:02, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pharaoh

The Ancient Egyptians didn't call their kings Pharaohs until well into the New Kingdom... over a thousand years later.

Over a thousand years.

See the wiki entry Pharaoh. It was a title in a letter to Aknenaten and only LATER than THIS became a title for a king. Much later.

I do not believe it serves any good purpose to universally use the term Pharaoh as King. It creates the impression that kings in the Old Kingdom were Pharaohs. They were not. It directly asserts that Zoser (Djoser) was Pharaoh. He was not.

I think it should say "King."

Maybe the word "Pharaoh" should be replaced with "King" but still link to "Pharaoh."

I don't know.

I won't change anything.
