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.

Text and/or other creative content from this version of Ogdoad was copied or moved into Ogdoad (Egyptian) with this edit on 23:36, 24 June 2016. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.
Where it discussed the flags and axes, the sentence structure seems broken and as if it needs editing. Very sloppy appearance because the symbols are added by text in quotation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Armorbeast (talk • contribs) 07:21, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I wanted to discuss the proposal for the following explanation for Thoth's explanation of the Ogdoad:
I do expect it to be somewhat "controversial" indeed, though: It is a formula for how two people can breed, even in the situation where no physical sex is involved. It does allow for both our traditional biological explanations, but in fact, I believe it focuses almost entirely on the "spiritual" means of reproducing. Yes. However, in this case it provides with it a far more scientific, logical, even computational means of proving itself. I expect that if we are all patient with each other, then Wikipedia can provide a good place to discuss the issue. I need to find a good place to present this work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:6430:4EC0:F147:7DF6:AC9:576F (talk) 23:07, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
