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.

Abydos Dynasty

Dear Iry-Hor,

I don't know how long this dynasty lasted but if it really consisted of 16 kings, it should have lasted longer than 20 years since the reigns of the known kings of this dynasty was already 14 years (2+2+4+3+3 years). The Univ. of Penn placed it at 1650-1600 BC here. Ryholt was publishing in the dark in 1997 and basing his 1997 book on the premise of a brief Hyksos conquest of Thebes so he dated them at 1650-1630 BC but the evidence of a Hyksos conquest of Thebes is unclear and Polz does not accept it, I think. So, its possible, that the Abydos dynasty lasted closer 50 years (maybe 40-50 years if Wegner's discovery of Seneb Kay's tomb proves that they existed rather than the 20 years figure in Ryholt's 1997 SIP book. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 19:52, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, I have been too quick to change the date. I realize I am heavily biased by the fact that I only have Baker's and Ryholt books at hand about the SIP. I will be more careful now to include discussions on dynasties / reign lengths etc... Iry-Hor (talk) 20:14, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I wish there was a map.

Any thoughts?

Very very good point. I might make one Iry-Hor (talk) 18:38, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm really, really disappointed in this article. You haven't given the hieroglyphic equivalents of the names of the pharaohs. Adding that unintelligible information is a hallmark of the standard Wikipedia article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.127.77.172 (talk) 21:47, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This and other unintelligible informations are given in the various wikipedia pages of the pharaohs. Iry-Hor (talk) 10:58, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
