This article has not yet received a rating 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.

Does anyone know what town Khafre was born in?

References

There is an inappropriate reference following the last sentence of paragraph 1. It is inappropriate for art history be used as a reference on sociological or religious aspects of a culture. There must be an appropriate reference from an egyptologist (preferably, more than one). The reference, and associated statement: "This highlights Khafre's importance and power as a ruler.", should be removed until the assertion can be referenced by an appropriate authority. This is also seen with the statement, "This highlights Khafre's importance and power as a ruler". The reference is again, an art historical text. On the page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khafre, the statement is made: "Not much is known about Khafre, except from the historical reports of Herodotus, writing 2,000 years after his life, who describes him as a cruel ruler who kept the Egyptian temples closed after Khufu had sealed them." This only implies power, and not leadership, was used by Khafre. The text regarding belief systems would better fit in an article on Egyptian beliefs, which could be reached by links from here.BRealAlways (talk) 14:33, 22 February 2021 (UTC)BRealAlways (talk) 14:34, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
