Start

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

Top

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.

Notes

The spelling "Dashur" is an error! It should be "Dahshur".

You're right! The citation for this information leads to an incorrect article, and splash page for a news agency. I will try and find out more information on this event (if it was even true) and update the section accordingly after doing so.Wwarren2019 (talk) 01:37, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The pyramids section needs to be re-written to flow better. Right now it seems there's chomps and bits of information thrown together carelessly. I'll work on it throughout the upcoming weeks.Wwarren2019 (talk) 07:17, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Dahshur. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20131218151540/http://www.dainst.org/en/project/dahshur?ft=all to http://www.dainst.org/en/project/dahshur?ft=all

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
