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.

Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Request for input in discussion forum

Given the closely linked subjects of the various religion, mythology, and philosophy groups, it seems to me that we might benefit from having some sort of regular topical discussion forum to discuss the relevant content. I have put together the beginnings of an outline for such discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Religion/2011 meeting, and would very much appreciate the input of any interested editors. I am thinking that it might run over two months, the first of which would be to bring forward and discuss the current state of the content, and the second for perhaps some more focused discussion on what, if any, specific efforts might be taken in the near future. Any and all input is more than welcome. John Carter (talk)

New cosmic revelation of the Great Pyramid, Georges Mathieu Laveau Vermard and / January 2013

Published on October 3, 2013 Conference January 30, 2013 George Vermard and Mathieu Laveau: The Great Pyramid, a cosmic revelation. On the other revelation approaching "the revelation of the pyramids" of Jacques Grimault and Patrice Pooyard To see all of this Conference here is the link: http: //www.observatoire-reel.com/shop ... Link Georges Vermard site: http://www.grandepyramide.com/ link on the same subject Radio interview:

Also, this new book of George Vermard - "Omega Alpha, the spiritual reality of the third millennium" - Edition Apopsix

This book is the result of 50 years of research on the part of George Vermard. Some of these findings were discussed in the conference with Mathieu Laveau, The Great Pyramid, a cosmic revelation. It shows for example that the designers of the pyramid knew: - the meter, - the circumference of the earth, moon and the sun, with details of tens of meters over thousands of kilometers - the number pi, the golden ratio, - the constellation Orion and the angles formed by its 4 major stars because the Great Pyramid reproduces, - the accumulation of stars in the constellation of Orion gives light years in Egyptian cubits and 6 times the number Pi - a chronological key that shows the schematic position of the year zero of our era, and a 7-year lag for birth of Christ, in all more than 600 "coincidences" (that's the official Egyptology call them) that are exposed, demonstrated, detailed ...

At the end of the Paleolithic, ancient civilizations experienced a sudden change in their anachronistic qualities of mind. Who and what do they held? Were the prophets holders of two forms of messages, one reserved for the popular majority, the other for the elite? There is no doubt today that ancient Egypt was the holder of an original tradition of extended generation to generation. Common origins by insiders, it did not fail to be affected by the weather. This knowledge was neither rudimentary nor confused but perfectly established rigorously applied and unanimously granted. The evidence we book Georges Vermard order are both mathematical, geometric, astronomical and symbolic and are the result of half -century reflection and study on the subject that began following the discovery of an amazing hidden message in the arrangement of the pyramids on the Giza site. Is there a higher universal science to our experimental science, to be equated with the great constants of the universe? These questions arise today in our consciousness under the recent discoveries and urgency to recover the common spiritual source to all men. No work on the subject has been pushed so far to date. This book is a unique revelation on the question of the origin of humanity.

Merge discussions for the Two Ladies and Nebty name articles, and for Serekh and Horus name

At the suggestion of Nephiliskos, I have created discussions about whether to merge Two Ladies with Nebty name, and Horus name with serekh. To comment on these two proposals, see Talk:Nebty name#Merger proposal and Talk:Serekh#Merger proposal. A. Parrot (talk) 01:18, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What on earth are you writing!? I don't wanna merge them, I just wanna shorten "Two Ladies" and "Serekh"! I already explained the reasons on your discussion page: Both articles talk too much about the royal title connected with the subject, but the subject itself is not described or explained. Both subjects are no titles, but "Two Ladies" is a mere euphemism and a serekh is just a crest. Please, don't make up things! Regards;--Nephiliskos (talk) 10:01, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nephiliskos, sorry I misunderstood you. I'll remove the merge notices on Horus name and Serekh if you want me to.
In the case of Two Ladies and Nebty name, I don't see any reason why there should be two separate articles on the subject. The Two Ladies hieroglyph isn't used anywhere except in the Nebty name, is it? If the articles are "merged", you don't have to actually include any information from Two Ladies in Nebty name. The one article could just become a redirect to the other. A. Parrot (talk) 15:54, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, ok... no problem. Again, I will just edit them and show you the results immediately. Regards;--Nephiliskos (talk) 17:32, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. A. Parrot (talk) 18:03, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New editor changing Re to Ra

Luppy-GT (talk · contribs) is going through articles changing all spellings of 'Re' to 'Ra', even image names. I've asked him to get consensus as this also makes some articles inconsistent with titles or the main article of a sub-section, but no response. Doug Weller (talk) 12:36, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alone against nationalists in edit war

Hello, dear fans and contributors to Ancient Egypt. I would like to inform you that currently, there is an edit war at the Biology article concerning Ancient Egypt . I am going to explain you how it has began.There was a historical gap in the history of Biology concerning Egypt and I looked up on the net to find data and I realized that sources LITERALLY say Biology began in Egypt, so I added the information to improve the article. I was reverted along with sourced information involving damage/vandalism of well sourced content, with arrogant source falsification, guess on what grounds. On nationalist, by some Athenian(Greek) users, arrogantly falsificating the source I added, only because Egyptians predate them and they want to be stated as the beginners of biology, despite it is so simple because Egyptians are an older civilization by millenniums and only because of this they are just predated by the other in certain fields. I tried to explain and argue the source falsifications and manipulations they made but I wasted my energy, when I explain nobody answers on the talk page, the nationalists were two, additional blind reverters joined them, so I could not resist the reverts as nobody assisted me, neither they respond in the talk page so we can make a normal debate. While the source I found clearly states the "Western biology begins in Egypt",:

"Five thousand years ago Egyptian priests were already starting to gather a tremendous amount of medical data, having a highly advanced knowledge in plants and their medical applications, primarily out of necessity to aid soldiers in the battlefield. Thus the real story of Western biology begins in Egypt", link to the source: [1] , compare with the vandalistic revert [2] he's doing source falsification but blames me to do so

Biology is not the only article when the same thing happens today, check the history also in 'mathematics, chemistry,(sourced "with no consensus" Egyptian etymology removed) city(removing Memphis and two images of Athens pushed instead) and writing,(removing the sourced "but agenda-driven with no consensus" Egyptian achievements in writing removed) where a reliably sourced content or pictures of Egyptian cities etc were serially removed, the only stated reasons was "POV" and "no consensus", furthermore nobody worries that do not answers on the talk page. It seems that only way to one can deal with nationalism is counter-nationalism as I have so far been unsuccessful unlike the national groups, so I inform the Egyptians. This is not Greek Wikipedia, there are people of all nationalities, so you need to be informed, SO if you want take a look on the case. If you read that, thank you for the attention. Can I join the project the project by the way if I want? I can claim a have some knowledge on the subject--Evropariver (talk) 15:39, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
