Low

This article has been rated as Low-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.

Woman for the greatsst

The wise is too be heard through out the land. Loved by the people of many. When a woman is of courtship of throne. Her words are of an authoritarian, vibrations of nurturing love of a mother and a friend. One who can accept

and comprehend that being a ruler is to be loved and feared but yet understand and able to compromise within its people. All that being said, too search and try to disturb the tomb of an great. A search of such will be impossible to find. Because that is a secret to worlds peace. And if found the cruel intentions of the males species would be so envious of a woman's formation on how to rule a nation he will never ever be in control of power ever again only war. 2601:406:5000:139B:C4B7:8E46:C7A2:93EF (talk) 15:06, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Section on scams?

I cam across an apparent scam in a 1890 newspaper article - Cleopatra's Ashes - Sarcophagus found - scam?!. Haven't researched further, though image there have been other scams. Don't know if this is worthy of a section in the article... Samatva (talk) 19:07, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
