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.

It doesn't have ANY information about who found the list when or who translated it. That is all crucial to understanding who knew what when as far as later material using the info in the kings list. If none of the references have this information, there must be sources that do, such as the original archaeological report. The author hasn't done all the homework to make this a good article. 100.15.120.122 (talk) 13:15, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Akhenanen. - 8th dynasty

Where is he? Did he use another name? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.234.108 (talk) 19:09, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Either you have a typo here or the source you got this name from is a bad source. Check your data and try again. 100.15.120.122 (talk) 13:17, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Move?

Should the article be moved to Abydos King List (Seti I) to help clarify/distinguish between Abydos King List (Ramesses II).
