Ancient Egypt: Egyptian religion High‑importance

High

This article has been rated as High-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article is supported by Egyptian religion work group (assessed as Low-importance).

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.

Dates

Can any dates be added? When was it discovered? (1881?)

Charles Wilbour

This article neglects to credit Charles Wilbour's important contribution in finding/securing the tomb. It was Wilbour who identified the villains after numerous attempts to get them to 'come clean.' Good thing too, because soon after the clearing of the tomb, major parts of it collapsed (because of the friability of the rock, it is always at risk of further collapse). The standard Egyptology narration, in variance with the facts, always over-credits Maspero, denigrates Brughsch, apologizes for the Rasuls (even credits them; after all the cave is now named after them!) and completely ignores Wilbour. Curious considering this find is as important, if not more important than the tomb of Tut. I guess Egyptology is still, to this day, a messy and political endeavour. Some fully credentialed Egyptologists actually cite the movie, "The Night of Counting the Years" (an avowed piece of fiction) as a source. For shame! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.99.33.53 (talk) 21:22, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Where now?

So where are its former inhabitants now? 141.243.112.20 (talk) 01:18, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Immediately after the discovery they were shipped to the main [Egyptian Museum] in Cairo, where most of them still reside, in the "Royal Mummies" room which has been recently restored.

This article could really do with an overhaul -- the story behind the find of the cache is fascinating, and is the subject of several books. Captmondo (talk) 12:57, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Citations in the text are there, but they are not yet hyperlinked. I moved them from Bibliography to References. Y-barton (talk) 04:18, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Respect for the dead

The addition of photographs does not enhance the article imo. In my own culture it is considered by many people as gross desecration. Surely the article can be read without such images? Anyone who wants to see them can be directed to the media section of wikipedia. Would anyone object to their removal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 51.199.3.206 (talk) 17:49, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As no objections raised I have made the change. Thank you. 92.40.194.39 (talk) 14:36, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

92.40.194.39 You already tried at least twice on Ahmose-Nefertari. Once again, Wikipedia is not censored. Your complaints are no more valid than those of those who do not want to see depictions of Muhammad on his page. Just give up. Lone-078 (talk) 16:45, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
