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.

So where's the evidence that Alexander IV was recognized as Pharaoh? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 01:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alexander III was recognized as pharaoh by the Egyptians. So Philip III, his successor, would have retained all of his positions. Alexander IV, Philip III's successor, would have done the same. It was only after his death that Ptolemy declared himself pharaoh. Or at least that's how I understand things to be. Correct me if I am wrong. Crispus 20:18, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alexander IV was considered a pharaoh, The only known pictures of him were a couple of egyptian depictions.Ericl (talk) 15:15, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the description of Philip III as illegitimate, from what I can tell his mother was generally considered one of Philip II's wives, and it's much more his mental capacity that contributed to him being subordinated to his younger brother Alexander III. --Michael Snow (talk) 03:29, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Conspiracy section

Few days ago I reverted an edit about Alexander III's conspiracy, see here for details and my reasons in edit summary. Now a very similar section was added by an IP, see here. I would like to ask to more knowledgeable editors such as @Dr.K.: and @Athenean: what they think about that. IMO the source provided (readable here) is valid but misused/misinterpreted, and I retain my reasons given in the edit summary. Khruner (talk) 10:06, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It does look like synthesis... Macedonian, a Greek (talk) 16:46, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
