This article has been rated as Top-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.

L'Oreal claim should be reomved

"However, a website run by the L'Oréal Group states that microscopic inspection by L'Oréal researchers revealed that "the pharaoh was naturally blond and that he used a coloring agent (probably henna) to give his hair red highlights".[68]" The source cited is not reliable, and it's offensive to have this claim bookended with real research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jameslot38321 (talk • contribs) 17:52, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

x:On his death, he was buried in a tomb in the Valley of the Kings;[12] his body was later moved to a royal cache where it was discovered in 1881, and is now on display in the Cairo Museum.[13] 39.41.225.148 (talk) 17:57, 20 December 2013 (UTC) y:please change the above sentence about pharaoh death and discovery. Because the Pharaoh was drowned in the red sea while he was behind the Prophet Muses. And his dead body was discovered in 1898 from the water without any mummification. Because Allah preserved him as a sign for the onward coming mankind. Sources: (Qur'an, 10:90)[reply]
