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.

The section "sculpture" is somewhat problematic as it contains descriptions of images that in the meantime have been removed from the article or deleted. "Notice the hands ...", "in this sculpture, notice the hips" etc. are wordings that are not very helpful to the reader if he cannot see the corresponding images. --Proofreader (talk) 18:52, 24 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Lead edit

@Johnbod: the lead is large and contains material on background, which is not in body of article, so that needs moving and lead needs to be summary of sections. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:28, 22 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Not really - the rest of the pretty crap article needs to catch up with the lead. Now expanded Johnbod (talk) 16:58, 25 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

This topic is in need of citations and images that are being referred to under the Sculpture sub-topic. Please improve this article!

IMPROVE: No sources are cited, the text is obviously plagiarism from another source which uses images not present in this article, and the language used is unclear. (UTC)rscarbonneau

I am researching the topic of Amarna art, and I was thinking about using these websites as references. ^[1] ^[2] ^[3]
