High

This article has been rated as High-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.

I would have liked to have added the hieroglyphic representation of all of Thutmose I's names/titles next to his example. Unfortunately this underlies the limitations of the Template talk:Hiero, which does not allow for all 5 titles to be displayed.

And strictly speaking, it would also be instructive to be able to add the titles (such as the segde and the bee beside the cartouche, something else the Template talk:Hiero does not currently allow for. Captmondo 03:13, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah - am planning more stuff - will try and dig out example photos for each of the 5 names. Also the template for a Serekh draws it horizontally, which isn't correct as far as I know. Markh 08:10, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

Have just finished adding images I have of a serekh of Namer (slightly blurry unfortunately) and of Senusret I's praenomen (missing a good part of the "sedge" symbol. Better examples are out there, but this is the best I can do at the moment. If you (or others) can add to this, all the better! Captmondo 03:12, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Decided to spend the time poking around the template structures and came up with the one needed for this page (which of course can be used with others as well). See: Template:Hiero/5Fold. Will look into doing a full mock-up using this new template on this page tomorrow. Captmondo 02:15, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That looks great - although the serekh should be vertical ;-) (it would mess up the page, so its probably better to have it like this) - (I have no idea whether than it even possible) Markh 09:44, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Agreed that the serekh should be vertical. And when it comes to the Fivefold Titulary I believe the same applies top the Golden Horus name as well. Writing things horizontally is a limitation of the current system as implemented. After some further research it looks as though I will have to alter the 5Fold temnplate somewhat, since the "Two Ladies" and Golden Horus names are usually not rendered within a cartouche. And thanks for the addition to the Pepi II article btw! Captmondo 12:39, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Version October 3, 2020. It says Horus sign was always used thereafter. Even by Akhenaten?

“Thereafter, the image of Horus always appeared alongside the name of the pharaoh.” Didn’t Akhnenaten dispense with worship of all Gods besides Aten?Rich (talk) 15:07, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
