Low

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

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.

The article here places his reign to "1580 BC - 1576 BC" looking if anyone knows why the Wikipedia article entitled: List of Pharoah assigns Sekhemrewahkhaw Rahotep the date of his reign circa. 1620 BC in the link below

He isn't mentioned in the list the MET musuem has

What kings were ruling?[edit]

"when Egypt was ruled by multiple kings." Misty MH (talk) 01:24, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps see Sixteenth Dynasty of Egypt for more info, as this article here says that certain Egyptologists believe that Sekhemre Wahkhau Rahotep was "the first king of the 17th Dynasty". Misty MH (talk) 01:31, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Predecessors?[edit]

Any information at all about the multiple kings' predecessors, or about Sekhemre Wahkhau Rahotep's? (Nothing is mentioned by that term in the article, as of today, in September 2023.) Misty MH (talk) 01:25, 25 September 2023 (UTC) Misty MH (talk) 01:26, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
