| 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.
Expand Ancient Egyptian philosophy
- 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
Removed text: This temple was Seti's idea, on which he worked for a long time but could not end, nor could Rameses II.
Reason: Seti I was after Hatshepsut who also contributed to Karnak SKL
"Search for Omm Sety" This is a great book about a British woman born in the early 1900's who believed that she was a reincarnated Egyptian woman who lived during the reign of Sety I. Though most of the book follows her life she lives in Abydos and studies Egyptology, making many contributions thanks to her "special" knowledge of the time and the king Sety himself, whom she believed she had a romantic relationship with. The book is definitely worth the read if you are interested in this time period.
[edit] pop culture
Isn't Seti I identified as Pharaoh of Egypt during the enslavement of the Hebrews in the Ten Commandments movie(with Heston)? I believe he is also the 1999 movie "The Mummy" briefly. I think this pop culture references deserve a mention. Kerowyn 12:29, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
