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.

Father

The text box says Seti I suceeded him while the orgins paragraph says that Seti I was his father. My wife says Seti I was his son and the father of Ramesses II. I don't know enough to change it but maybe somebody else does.

The text says there was a Seti who was his father, not that it was Seti I. There should be a citiation tag on the sentance, but I do not find it unreasonable that there was a Seti who was his father... there were numerous Intefs who never ruled before the 11th dynasty intefs, for instance.

Mummy

I would not say that the identity of the Niagara mummy was conclusively established. From what I know, they established that it was a royal mummy of the 19th dynasty, but some Egyptologists would not agree with that. Who determined conclusively that it was the mummy of Ramesses I? If there is no source for this statement, it should go, lest we mislead our readers. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 20:01, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well long ago mummies were switched up in different coffins and moved when people sold them. The only way of making sure is seeing if there are any certain details in the wrapping of the mummy. Or the idea of taking the description Ramesses I in the ancient stories and comparing it to several mummies believed to be him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.57.43.32 (talk) 18:29, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How can you say the mummy was repatriated when Ancient Egypt has long since gone? The modern state of Egypt simply exists on the territory that was Ancient Egyptian. The Greeks turned the heads of the Romans, and the Ancient Egyptians turned the heads of the Greeks, so Ancient Egyptian artifacts are the patrimony of the entire western world and not just of the modern Arabic speaking Islamic (aniconic) Egyptians. I am of the opinion that it was safer in Canada than where it is now.

The Curse...

Is King Ramses' Curse a real curse/plague? With the locusts, and the floods, and the...something else. I learned about all this in Courage the Cowardly Dog, so if someone could just reply...

I believe that was Ramesses II (The Great). --89.54.167.234 (talk) 21:23, 28 December 2007 (UTC)ghi[reply]

In a series of comic books: "the mysterious river", he was called Lamu-Rames.

Yeah well first of all cartoons for info is stupid and there is no curse. Back then people believed in that stuff to ward of thieves and tomb raiders it is nothing but a story —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.57.43.32 (talk) 18:25, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

where the names in Hieroglyphs Why names do not appear in pages. R.azz.miligi (talk) 14:58, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Names of the Pharaohs appear in other languages except English language?? pls reply. R.azz.miligi (talk) 15:02, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Death

In the article it is mentioned that Exodus in the Bible does not name the Pharoah. The name Rameses (could be a city?person?) is however mentioned in Numbers 33:3. It may be beneficial to look into this time period for when / if ancient Hebrews crossed paths of records. Egypt losing many slaves, or catastrophic deaths, as mentioned in the Bible might give clues for looking in Egyptian records of around this time. 2404:4402:27EA:9500:A071:58A9:2361:4D86 (talk) 15:29, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Exodus is a myth, not a historical narrative. The city mentioned is probably Pi-Ramesses, a new capital city established by the 19th dynasty. Dimadick (talk) 16:46, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bad external link

Very sorry if I have done this improperly. Just want to say that the external link to an article at Emory Museum regarding the mummy's theft, and subsequent purchase by an entity that returned it, is to a page that no longer exists.

If I am out of line, please say so, and I won't do this again. I do ignore most errors, as I know the whole project is a work in progress, but I can see no other way of learning how to do things properly than to go ahead and try to correct a minor mistake, in a small way, like this. No disrespect intended.

One previous bad thing done on Wikipedia by my account was not done by me, and that person no longer lives here. Only good is intended by me. I will accept any guidance you care to give. 2604:3D09:8878:4500:B1D6:9B6F:7958:FB3F (talk) 20:30, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up! I have replaced the link with an archived one preserved on the Wayback Machine Merytat3n (talk) 07:38, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
