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.

Untitled[edit]

Does anyone have a Lat/Long position for Naucratis, or the name of the modern city/settlement (if there is one) at its site? The closest position I've seen is Lat: 30.9°, Long: 30.6° from the following site - http://www.ancientroute.com/cities/naucratis.htm. Using google earth to glance at those general coordinates, nothing stands out from the countless hamlets and irrigated fields.

Expansion[edit]

I have expanded the article but must say that not being attached to an academic community makes it difficult to obtain journals & books of specialized knowledge. I have found University libraries generally not obliging to the ordinary citizen (loaning books out, use of their computers, etc.) which can be understood as their primary mission is to serve the student. Yet this sets up a barrier to the flow of in-depth knowledge from the school to the surrounding community of citizens. Much thanks must go to a professor friend of mine. A great addition would be a modern picture of the site. If anyone lives nearby and could upload such a shot, it would enhance the article greatly. Alcmaeonid 17:43, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Modern locale[edit]

Kinda tricky. The external link says the site is spread across the modern villages of Kom Gi’eif, el-Nibeira and el-Niqrash. A web search for any of these doesn't leave you with much to work with, but the locations are listed on Microsoft; as Ju'ayf, An Nubayrah and An Niqrash. (While Google simply has An Niqrash and Nibeira and omits the third) - I've used the relative locations of these to add a coordinates template. Brando130 (talk) 02:05, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
