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.

Am I the only one who notices that Kamose's Name is spelled i`H-ms in the pharaohbox? Thanatosimii 23:46, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you are the only one. I have changed it. Markh 09:02, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is there really a need for Latin terms to be used on this page to discuss Egyptological matters, i.e. casus belli or modus vivendi? Nowhere in Egyptological textbooks have I ever found those terms, so I kindly request those terms be changed.Cossinius 02:31, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

@Cossinius I'm inclined to agree; it seems a bit pedantic. Besides I'm not sure it's a proper use of the term- if I'm not mistaken, doesn't it usually refer to the ethical justification of a just war, typically in response to an attack of some sort? - but his motive can be ascribed to "nationalistic pride." I might be mistaken, it's been years since I've even seen the term used... Tabbycatlove (talk) 06:27, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Casus Belli and Montet

Hey, I can see a reference to Pierre Montet in the section Casus Belli. It says that Montet believed the priests of Amun inspired Kamose to attack the Hyksos. I can see that his book, Eternal Egypt, is in the references, but there is no actual citation. I took the liberty to search Eternal Egypt myself, but I cannot find anything about the priests of Amun. If there is anyone who can find this citation, I'd truly appreciate it. I don't know where else to look. 181.122.159.46 (talk) 07:19, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
