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.

"though not the oldest known treaty"

would be nice to mention which the older one is, e.g. "but not older than X". I've been in impression that this one is THE oldest written peace treaty. --Sigmundur (talk) 04:05, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The link to the text of the treaty no longer appears to work. 86.129.107.174 (talk) 07:54, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

References and citations

There are various problems with the references in this article, which I will be correcting in a series of edits. Apart from the technical problems, there is no consistently-maintained citation style at present. The corrections will (probably) gradually establish a more consistent style. If anyone would prefer to correct the article in a different way, please let me know here and they are welcome to take over. --Mirokado (talk) 17:41, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've now finished this series of updates. There are probably still minor changes needed to make the presentaton of the citations consistent (adding doi where possible for example), they can be made when convenient. --Mirokado (talk) 01:49, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Hattušiliš's predecessor" ???

Under Aims > Hittite Empire it says: "Hattušiliš's predecessor, the Assyrian king, had taken Hanigalbat, which had been a vassal territory under Hittite control."

Wouldn't the Assyrian king be Hattušiliš's competitor rather than his predecessor? Is it trying to say "Under Hattušiliš's predecessor, the Assyrian king had taken Hanigalbat, which had been a vassal territory under Hittite control." ?

Also, why call it Hanigalbat (the only occurrence in the article) when the wikilink goes to "Mitanni", and Mitanni is used twice earlier in the article?

(I don't want to be BOLD as my only knowledge comes from what I've just read in the article.) 59.102.8.108 (talk) 07:09, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
