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.

How is Psusennes II distinguished from Psusennes I in Manetho's epitome? Where there is Psusennes III, a person also given an independent reign??

What is the precise text of "associated names" of Psusennes "II" and his "successor", Shoshenq I in a graffito from tomb TT18(see A. Dodson,,"Psusennes II and Shoshenq I," JEA 79(1993), pp.267-268, and in an ostracon from Um el-Qaab(see J. Yoyotte, BSSFT 1(1988) 46 n.2.)???

What other thing than just the conventional chronology places Psusennes I's death to a time almost 40-45 years before Shoshenq I]'s appearance as Chief of the Ma???

What confirms that the second ruler intended to be mentioned on a well known Mummy bandage which equates "[Year X] of Amenemopet to Year 49 [of Psusennes I." is Psusennes and not another person altogether?? (unsigned comments by Shilkanni)

Cartouche

,

or

Psusennes I Nomen
in hieroglyphs

I updated his Nomen cartouche from the "Gold Disk" from Psusennes I tomb at Tanis, now in Egyptian Museum, Cairo. Gold disc is 16.6 cm, and was used to close the incision on the stomach. It bears the Eye of Horus, as a sign of "intactness", (Wholeness). (I do not know the significance of the twisted cord hieroglyph above the hieroglyph for town, intersection.) [ The Budge 2-volume dictionary implies it is the symbol related to the word "āntch" (long a)(= sound, healthy), and beneath the similar hieroglyph for goddess Neith ]. (The symbol for "N",wavy line does not work in the Cartouche(below star and above town) in Wiki; I originally had tried it. )(It does work here.)

Tomb discovery

Check whether the tomb was not discovered in 1939. JMK 10:13, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to the Silver Pharoah the the first group of tombs were found in 1939 but had been entered prevously, but the second group was found in early 1940 with Psusennes' tomb being entered on 21 February 1940. Ted (talk) 06:14, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
