WikiProject Ancient Egypt to-do list:

Here are some tasks you can do:

Article requests: We should have an article on every pharaoh and every nome (law) in ancient Egypt. Let's check to see whether every important Egyptologist has an article. Surely, we can think of other articles that we should have.
Cleanup: To begin, most of the general-history, and at least some of the dynasty, articles badly need work. Are there any other candidates?
Expand: "Standardize the Chronology": This is a boring task, but the benefit of doing it is that you can set the dates! Why say Khufu lived between 2589 and 2566 BCE? As long as you keep the length of his reign correct, or cite a respected source, you can date it 2590-2567 BCE or 2585-2563 BCE.
Infobox: Add an infobox or navbox to any article that doesn't have one yet.
Stubs: Anyone?
Update: Any article with dated (obsolete) information.
Verify: Fix / reclaim the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Wikify: "Data sorting": Take one of the standard authorities of history or culture -- the writings of Herotodus, the Elder Pliny, J. H. Breasted, or Kenneth Kitchen -- and see whether you can smoothly merge quotations or information into relevant articles. This is probably a good exercise for someone who owns one of those impressive texts yet can't access a research library.

[edit] Untitled

I like this topic, and I plan to clean up the article. I've pushed down the old version under General Overview and I plan to write better versions on the various topics in their own sections, and then delete them from the general section. Eventually I'll cover everything in the general section and delete it. I'd be happy for any help. MickWest 23:55, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "History of swnw"

"The ancient Egyptian word for doctor is swnw. There is a long history of swnw in ancient Egypt."

Is that a history of the profession or history of the word? -Pgan002 05:45, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation of "swnw"

How is the word pronounced? -Pgan002 05:46, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

All Egyptian pronunciation is assumed, there were no native speakers of Ancient Egyptian since the Rosetta Stone was discovered. But sunu (soo-noo) is what would be assumed. KV(Talk) 17:26, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SWNW Link

It seems a bit meta to me that you would link a page to itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.161.254.91 (talk) 22:57, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
