Mid

This article has been rated as Mid-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.

Untitled[edit]

Dodson & Hilton’s chronology (2004) is in error showing Amenehet IV’s year 9 as the full moon date 1806bc Sep 8. The record specifically says Payni 29 is the feast of lunar day 13 as in 1790bc Sep 8. Though this 1790bc feast is 3 days before the Sep 11 full moon (day 16), consider this error of 1806bc to match a full moon to Sep 8. This Sep 8 date is Payni 25 not the recorded Payni 29 which is 4 leap days later on Sep 12 being 16 years earlier 1806-1790bc.

(Tribute to Richard Parker) =206 years 1991-1785 bc; Sesostris III: Season Ahket =Thoth; New Moon year 3, Epipi 16 =1876bc Oct 16; Sothic year 7, Parmuti 16 =1872bc July 17; Parmuti 16 =1872bc July 17; 1st rise of Sothis at Memphis; New Moons: year 32, Hatyr 6 =1847bc Feb 1; Amenomhet III: Next derived from Pakon 16 as lunar day 9; year 29, Pakon 8 =1814bc July 25; (Pakon 16 =1814bc Aug 2 ) year 30, Payni 26 =1813bc Sep 10; And every 59 days for 10 months (p.66): year 30, Mesor 25 =1813bc Nov 8; Paopi 20 =1812bc Jan 7; Koyak 18 =1812bc Mar 7; Mekir 18 =1812bc May 6; Parmuti 17 =1812bc July 4; Amenemhet IV: Following within 54 days of Sothis: year 9, Pakon 6 =1790bc July 17 Lunar day 13: Payni 29 =1790bc Sep 8 as full moon feast day 13.

I've been doing some work into the Middle Kingdom and I do believe that :-

1) Amenemhet III ruled from 1844BC to 1797BC 2) so Amenemhet IV ruled 1797BC to 1787BC 3) that the 12th dynasty ended at 1783BC on the death of Nefrusobk, after which the Egyptian kingship went into decline?

So I was wondering wether anyone else can say the same, because there are a lot of differences between sources. And Im not too sure
