Contributions As of 04/28

For this article I have made the following changes:

Added information to lengthen the Lead section
In the "Description" section of the article, I have added information regarding who Nedjemankh was when they were alive and the significance of the inscriptions on this coffin in relation to Egyptian mythology, the Book of the Dead, and Egyptian burial ritual.
In the "Provenance" section of the article, I have included information about the international investigation surrounding the illegal exportation of the Coffin of Nedjemankh and the people involved.
Throughout the article I have made improvements in terms of grammar.
I have added several new, credible sources.
I have added more internal links to other Wikipedia pages.

In terms of what could still be done to this article, I believe that there could be a few more images to liven it up (i.e.,close-ups of the inscriptions). The only images available through Openverse were the ones already shown in the article, plus a mirror of the photo used at the beginning under "Coffin of Nedjemankh." It would be beneficial to have information on where the coffin was looted from, but I had a difficult time locating any information on this. As I continue to work on this article at the conclusion of the class, these will be the two things that I focus on. Abbymar1416 (talk) 17:38, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
