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.

Huh Hieroglyph Egyptian phonetic glyph ancestor of Infinity symbol

Written in Egyptian phonetic glyphs, Huh is a pair of the 'h' glyph U(1339B) - rope twists - which resemble the modern infinity symbol turned vertically. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.189.9.57 (talk) 10:02, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It needs to be said.

The Heiroglyph for "Huh" is a guy with both arms raised and shoulders shrugged. Heh heh heh. SamuelRiv (talk) 02:10, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, actually the article title should be Heh (heh heh heh). Practically all the sources spell it that way. I suppose I should move the article to that title soon. But yes, the coincidence is mildly amusing. A. Parrot (talk) 03:10, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Image sources

Anybody got some more image sources of depictions of the god? It would really spruce the page up a bit — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucasgrange (talk • contribs) 20:44, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

the personification of infinity or eternity

The assertion that Heh is "the personification of infinity or eternity" isn't sourced. That he might be "eternity" is easy to understand; "infinity" is a rather more abstract concept and claiming them as alternates isn't obviously justified William M. Connolley (talk) 09:46, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've added sources and changed text to address this question. Egyptologists don't seem to doubt that the ancient Egyptians had a concept of infinity. A. Parrot (talk) 17:50, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Re: name variant “hoax”

I’ve restored a series of variant transliterations of Heh’s name which were recently deleted citing a possible hoax. I have been in conversation with a friend of the perpetrator of said “hoax” on social media tonight (they were publicizing that their friend couldn’t believe they’d gotten away with adding fake names to an already-humorous Wikipedia article), and determined that the only name variant that was facetiously added by this person was “Hahuh”—which makes sense, as it’s the only variant that adds a consonant to the transliteration, which would to my understanding require a different hieroglyphic rendering. Here are some screenshots the friend provided me of IRC logs including the hoaxer, discussing this article and the vandalism done—to my reading, these logs suggest they were only responsible for “Hahuh”.

Include Image of the Eye of Ra.

Currently the story is accompanied with an image of the Eye of Horus symbolizing the end of the flood myth. Since the story of Heavenly Cow starts with the eye of Ra which is the same image, but right side and is the all seeing Eye of Ra used as a symbol of retribution against the disobedient, the start of the flood myth and can be considered Evil it might benefit showing them both. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Horus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Ra Para59r (talk) 14:29, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
