Ancient Egypt High‑importance

High

This article has been rated as High-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.

Can someone with more knowledge of this than me correct the article? As it stands now, it claims that he was found dead in a hospital in Cairo, as well as in a hotel! Bjelleklang - talk Bug Me 01:39, 10 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

If anyone wants to expand the Egyptology section, here is a good link to a book on google books - The golden age of Tutankhamun: divine might and splendor in the New Kingdom By Zahi A. Hawass -- Lady Meg (talk) 01:05, 17 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

I would like to see the relationship between the Earl, and Alfred de Rothschild described in more detail. Especially the multi-million-dollar dowry de Rothschild paid Mr Herbert, for marrying Alina. The Earl desperately the money needed to bring his famous castle up to snuff, and, of course, to underwrite archeological expeditions. Encouraged by the success of "Downton Abbey", PBS in the U.S.A. had an excellent programme regarding Carnarvon castle, and the 5th Earl, in which the marriage and the archeology were discussed; together with a substantial interview of the current Earl and his wife, who maintain the castle meticulously. And, have done so at great expense, and effort; including the management of extensive agricultural projects - whilst maintaining an admirable display of the 5th Earl's Egyptology achievements. Apparently the Carnarvon family fortunes were effectively rescued - one might say renewed - by de Rothschild's capital.76.9.90.80 (talk) 08:08, 31 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
