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.

Burna-Buriash I[edit]

The official cylinder seal of Burna-Buriash I of Babylon was found in a Mycenaean site in Greece (possibly Mycenae itself.

source: E. H. Cline, “The Multivalent Nature of Imported Objects in the Ancient Mediterranean World,” in R. Laffineur and E. Greco (eds.), EMPORIA. Aegeans in the Central and Eastern Mediterranean [Aegaeum 25] (Liège/Austin 2005) p48. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.132.184.157 (talk) 10:43, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An impression of the seal can be viewed here https://feldman.berkeley.edu:453/?course=nes128&do=detail&imgid=00770.

This seal bears an inscription naming the seal owner as an official of the 14th c. Kassite king Burra-Burriash. The image depicts a mountain god holding vessels from which water flows. So it is probably a Burna Buriash II era seal.BigEars42 (talk) 15:27, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sequence of events at end of Burna Buriash II’s reign[edit]

The last paragraph summarizes the post-Burna Buriash events, whose source documents are an Assyrian Chronicle written some time after 810 BC and a Babylonian Chronicle which is probably based on the Assyrian one, so both were composed more than 500 years after the events they describe.

There is no consensus amongst historians, however there is clearly a trend for disregarding the Babylonian Chronicle P as an accurate description of the events. This chronicle superimposes the predecessors of Kurigalzu I over those of Kurigalzu II, even including details such as Kadashman-harbe I’s successful campaign against the Suteans and his construction activities.

The following table is a summary of the positions taken: -
