Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article is supported by Egyptian religion work group (assessed as Low-importance).

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.

This article is currently the subject of an educational assignment.

Nebuchadnezzar name base[edit]

This word would seem to have a more than coincidental link to the Biblical king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar. 124.189.9.57 (talk) 22:03, 26 January 2013 (UTC) Ian Ison[reply]

Hi all, none of this information is cited correctly - I’ve managed to verify most of it + rewrite it with the correct citations, and will delete the unverifiable information within the next 48 hours. Cheers!! Yellowbluegreen (talk) 03:31, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Depiction within Spell 87[edit]

I have done some digging around with both the Papyrus of Ani and Book of the Dead of Ramose, and neither within them show that the figure depicted is confirmed to be Neheb-Kau. The Figure shown is most likely a representation of earth/Geb or for the Papyrus of Ani, a new minor deity called [Seta/Sata], who encompaces the earth and the serpent. Seta/Sata may also be a tranliteration of serpent, which may also add more confusion (Page 386 on IA, 148 in book). The heiroglyphs also do not mention his name, or even Ka (though i could be misreading the cursive). If this is true or somewhat factual with the sources provided, I propose a change to that section, and or a new section entirely for the Book of the Dead mentioning Spell 87 and this confusion.
