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.

Cities

Untitled

There is an Arab town right outside of Nablus (Shchem), in middle Samaria, on the way to Tapuach. It is also called Hawara. Perhaps a note could be added here about that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.198.36.54 (talk) 02:56, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

burial chamber

I added a section about the kings burial chamber based on a book by I.E.S. Edwards. He refers to the chamber as being 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 6 feet high. He doesn't refer to this as the interior of the chamber however it must be since otherwise it would not weigh 110 tons and there wouldn't be enough room. If it is the interior and the walls are just over 2 feet deep then it adds up. I cited 2 additional sources to support it since there appeared to be a minor mistake.

Out of date and poorly sourced

only two reliable sources. There are more recent ones, I'll have a go when I get time.[1] Doug Weller talk 08:01, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nat Geo documentary said how tomb was robbed

Re - "Petrie found that none of the trapdoors had been slid into place and the wooden doors were open. Whether this indicated negligence on the part of the burial party, an intention to return and place further burials in the pyramid (when found there were two sarcophagi in the quartzite monolith described below and room for at least two more), or a deliberate action to facilitate robbery of the tomb, we cannot know."

The 2011 TV documentary The Egyptian Job said that tomb robbers in antiquity had smashed down the wooden doors and (using known era mechanical advantage devices) merely slid the quartzite blocks aside to gain entry. Petrie then found the empty tomb when thinking there would be treasure in it - www.natgeotv.com/int/the-egyptian-job/about
