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.

Serket/Scorpion[edit]

We have exactly the same issue here as at Serket II. By the same token there is no justification whatsoever for renaming the predynastic king known universally to English-speaking scholarship as "Double Falcon" to "Nahe-Nahe". We simply don't know how the signs relate to this king's spoken name, and to guess like this is original research. If it was known for sure that this was how his name was said, this is how he would be known in the literature. But he isn't that I have ever seen.

The image in the infobox was inappropriate, being a statue of the goddess Serket from the tomb of the New Kingdom Pharaoh Tutankhamun, so I removed it. I furthermore renamed "Serket" to "Scorpion" throughout to conform with every independent reference I can locate on the subject. TCC (talk) (contribs) 03:34, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bull[edit]

Who is Scorpion the 1st's predecessor Bull? Is he an attested name with no other information, or just a name a user added with no context? Trajan anntonnius (talk) 19:55, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
