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.

Untitled[edit]

The following was removed from the text

Satet may have been a child of the eyptian god set and her name could have been Set'Et or little Set(female).

This is because it strikes me as wild speculation, and is not a view I have seen expressed in egyptological texts, based simply on a vague similarity in her name. I know of no connection between the Elephantine triad and Set, so I find it very unlikely that she would have been considered Set's daughter.

Moved comment from article (Gareth Hughes 16:00, 2 December 2005 (UTC)):[reply]

(Iconography: if my memory is correct: On a stele, Pharaoh Thotmes-III stands inbetween Satis & Anuket , both in simple white gowns. Satis is crowned by the White Crown flanked by Bull's Horns, Her daughter Anuket wears a Crown, or headband with nine tiara-arranged feathers [30 cm high ]alternatively red & yellow.) --130.161.135.33 A.Muster dd 2 Dec.2005.

Satis/Satet[edit]

If the title of the page is Satet, then that's the name that should be used in the article, not Satis. Most pages that link to this one use 'Satis', so maybe the page name should be changed to that? Also, there is no mention of the relationship between this Goddess and 'Hapi' who also represents the flooding of the Nile - are they the same? VenomousConcept (talk) 23:08, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Answering the simpler question first: Hapy and Satet are not the same, even though they're both linked with the inundation. Egyptian gods' roles overlap tremendously.

As to the problem of names, I agree that the title and text should match. The article was moved from "Satis" more than two years ago, but the text was not changed to reflect the move. I fixed that, though I'm actually not sure whether the preponderance of sources use "Satis" or "Satet". The article wasn't moved based on which name is more common, but out of the desire for a title closer to the goddess' original Egyptian name (sṯt) than to the Greek distortion of that name (Σατις, I would guess).
