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.

Mathematical Content[edit]

The table the mathematical content seems to be incorrect-

the 3rd and 4th columns aren't exactly the same as the second two, to be the same the last two entries in the 3rd would need to be at the top of the fourth.

I don't know if this is an error or a correct copy? Jonpatterns (talk) 16:51, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

1/11[edit]

Moved from article

There is an error associated with the unit fraction 1/11 which is not 1/12 + 1/33 + 1/66. The sum of fractions should likely be 1/11 = 1/22 + 1/33 + 1/66. It is possible that this is simply a typo above and the original has the correct values.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.49.55.157 (talk • contribs) 21 June 2012

I've checked on PlanetMaths which has the correct formula, so it looks like with was a typo. it now fixed.--Salix (talk): 11:08, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

aliens[edit]

"The original mathematical texts never explain where the procedures and formulas came from"

curiosuly the alien tinfoil hat thery is not mentioned anywhere in this article. I dont believe it but it's part of NPOV to declare it. Aliens man. 01:19, 16 August 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.48.114.143 (talk)
