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.

No use for Wikipedia unless you can find something that according to Wikipedia's criteria is a reputable source ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources ), and this one isn't one (Ms. Ortiz describes herself as an author, graphic designer, voiceover artist and Tarot reader, none of which equal being an expert on archaeology).
It seems like, the idea of the tub being where the water came in doesn't hold water, if you'll pardon the pun, because unless Barsanti left something rather obvious out of his detailed description, there are no holes in it, it's just a box with a lid - the thing about the water from the storm disappearing suddenly is interesting, but on the other hand it's on limestone and that kind of thing sometimes happens on limestone anyway due to channels being formed naturally by erosion (at least, it does in the Downs in England), so there's more than one possible explanation.
