Low

This article has been rated as Low-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.

Pharaohs of First Dynasty edit

Latest comment: 13 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The article on Djer lists him as the third Pharaoh of the First Dynasty, while this one lists Djet as the third. The article on Djet's successor Den lists Den as the fifth, which would make Djet the fourth Pharoah of the First Dynasty. The discrepancy comes from the controversy over whether Menes and Hor-Aha were one and the same, but it would be nice to come up with some consistency.--Syd Henderson 03:20, 8 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

The view that Narmer/Menes and Hor-Aha were the same man is still a minority view, as far as I can tell from my own reading (which admittedly is a little out-of-date). If only for the sake of consistence with other articles, I've gone bold and changed "third" to "fourth", so that the line of Dyn. 1 pharaohs runs: Narmer/Menes, (Hor-)Aha, Djer, Djet.
