Relation to Sanakht and time of his reign

[edit]

The article reflects statements made by Verner on pg 105 of Pyramids. Nebka appears on some kinglists early in the third dynasty, but Sanakht is thought to have reigned at the end of the 3rd dynasty. --AnnekeBart (talk) 15:28, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the advice. This demonstrates the joy of considering the views of a range of different experts on the timing of events in the early dynasties of Ancient Egypt when drafting the Wikipedia articles. I am happy to leave the wording as you have suggested, recognising that it really is just educated guess work as to what are the correct names, dates and order of the 3rd dynasty pharaohs. My major concern is to try and get some consistency in dating between the different Wikipedia articles dealing with the 2nd and 3rd dynasties. Happy to discuss further if you wish. --Chewings72 (talk) 10:26, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's hard to write a coherent article when the experts seem to disagree. Maybe the best solution would be to outline the different theories? I would have to do much more reading to get a good feel for the different interpretations.
Re: Wikipedia articles dealing with the 2nd and 3rd dynasties - It would be nice to flesh out those articles a bit. I don't have a whole lot of time in the near future, but am always happy to discuss topics. --AnnekeBart (talk) 13:35, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
