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.

When?[edit]

It says: "It falls roughly between early January and early May" but it must be between October 15 - February 15 (in Grergorian calender)Böri (talk) 15:26, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ancient Egyptian calendar and Coptic calendar were different! (but the names of the months were the same!)

Ancient Egyptian month "Tybi" = November 16 - December 15 (but this is Julian calendar) = October 15 - November 15 (Gregorian calendar)

Coptic mounth Tobi = January 9 - February 7

so they were different! but this makes confusion! Böri (talk) 12:59, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

note: Peret / Season of the Emergence begins with "Tybi" (I wrote it for that reason) Böri (talk) 13:26, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed what? I'm talking about the Ancient Egyptian calendar Böri (talk) 12:53, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Main hieroglyph[edit]

per wiktionary. If it turns out one of the other variants was actually more common or is more accepted presently, that's peachy, but kindly include a source and fix the linked wiktionary entry for šmw. — $Llywelyn II$ 09:40, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
