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 Low-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.

Merger with Eye of Ra[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was no consensus. I opposed the merger (see my argument at Talk:Eye of Ra#Merger with Raet-Tawy), the initiator has been blocked, and no one else is participating. A. Parrot (talk) 23:03, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Both are pretty much the same entity to the point that Raet-Tawy seems to be used interchangeably both in the Eye of Ra article as well as in the sources listed there.

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Building this article back up[edit]

So, unfortunately, by removing a lot of the unsourced or blatantly wrongly-sourced statements, I've reduced this article down to a measely two sources. I do know of two others, but I'm unable to access them myself, so I figured I'd drop them here so someone else can pursue them:

The 5th band of Lexikon der Ägyptologie has an entry on her on page 152 (I actually do have this one but the particular entry is in French)
Caesar in the City of Amun by David Klotz also has a section on page 204; all I can see of it on academia.edu is its table of contents

Hope this helps make up for my wanton destruction! - vagabondsun (it/its + he/him) | talk ✨ contrib 05:01, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
