Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article is supported by Egyptian religion work group (assessed as High-importance).

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.

How do you spell?

How do you spell his name?????

Spell it? To spell it properly you need to use heiroglyphs. There are many different spellings and pronunciations these days and they seem to change according to the fashions and the preferences of each age.

Ammut (the spelling that I for one was originally taught) is a girl. So, stop saying "his" in questions about her name or relatives or mythology. -The Mysterious El Willstro 71.181.140.237

This article has no citations at all. The story with the pole with seven balls seems in particular need of citation or reference.

Sure it does! It has exactly 1 citation. I'm not saying that's enough, but it's more than none at all. -The Mysterious El Willstro 209.183.188.103 (talk) 06:43, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sources: Ammit Book of the Dead, Plates 3 & 31

E.A.Wallis Budge, THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD (The Papyrus of Ani) Egyptian Text and Transliteration and Translation. (Dover Press, 1967.) This is one of those perdurable books destined to go on and on. While many scholars express reservations re Budge's work, I would still regard it as a good starting place. He provides a detailed exposition of signs, gods and goddess of ancient Egypt, the plates and the place of THE BOOK OF THE DEAD--The Going Forth by Day--in the culture of Ancient Egypt.

A more recent production: THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD--The Book of Going Forth by Day, being the Papyrus of Ani, translated by Dr. Raymond O. Faulkner With orginal color Illustrations based on the Facsimile Volume produced in 1890 under the Supervision of P. Le Page Renouf and E. A. Wallis Budge. (Chronicle Books, 1998.)

A picture of Ammit appears on Plate 3, Vignette 30B: "Chapter for not letting Ani's heart create opposition against him in the God's Domain." And appears again on Plate 31, Vignette 125: "The Declaration of Innocence Before the Gods of the Tribunal." (Chronicle edition.)StevenTorrey (talk) 17:29, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Male versions

Aside from Palladium Books which presented Ammit as male in the 80s Palladium RPG then early 90s in Rifts Africa then late 90s in Dragons and Gods did any other versions present a male fork of the goddess? I am curious if gender was as flexible here as with Kek (mythology) who had more ofna clear dual role. Ranze (talk) 05:53, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Does Ammit have any siblings?

If Anubis has a sibling then why doesn't Ammit? 2A02:C7C:8896:F200:50E7:73EC:F044:B28C (talk) 16:16, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
