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.

"Smell roasting" edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

What!? I realise ancient medicine was arcane, but... Is it saying that a gynaecological problem might cause a woman to think she smells, say, roast beef, and the cure is to eat some roast beef? What is it talking about her smelling roasting and then being given something roasting? Please re-phrase that, even if it's nonsensical in the original Egyptian, so it's at least comprehensible. They surely didn't roast her womb, since that would kill her. 84.70.145.70 (talk) 06:30, 18 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
