The lead section of the article is short but, outside of the actual list of kings, is about half of the article and contains plenty of information that is not elaborated on further in the article itself. It's certainly concise but needs to be elaborated on in the rest of the article.

  • "The scene with the list was first published by Jean-Francois Champollion in 1845, and by Karl Richard Lepsius four years later." How about we add a section discussing the circumstances around the discovery, publishing and interpretation of the piece rather than just having this one line in the lead section?
  • "Notably, Hatshepsut and the Amarna pharaohs are omitted." This should probably be placed lower in the article in the section talking about the actual content of the kings list.
