Ancient Egypt High‑importance

High

This article has been rated as High-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.

Biblical Pi-Beset[edit]

The lead reads that the biblical Phibeseth is identified with Bubastis. But nobody calls it Phibeseth in English. They call it "Pi-Beset." See here [1], where every biblical translation that tries to preserve the Hebrew name has Pi-Beset. Alephb (talk) 19:52, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

date of the Bubastis festival[edit]

According to https://www.thegreatcat.org/bubastis-city-of-the-cat-goddess-part-2bast/ the festival was on "9th year of the 1st day of the second month of the season of Shemu (summer)" Shemu links directly to the wikipage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Season_of_the_Harvest where it is said that the "Second Month of Low Water" is called Paoni https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paoni where it states that this equivalent to "June 8 'til July 7" (it also restates that "Paoni is also the second month of the Season of Shemu (Harvest)" so it's established that the second month of Shemu is called Paoni)

Then according to this website that first day is therefore 8th of June. What I haven't been able to figure out is what the "9th year of the 1st day" is supposed to mean. I can only assume it either means it was celebrated every 9t year (unlikely as it was an annual festival, and it is in the wrong order) or that it's a typo and should mean "hour" (i.e. starting at 9:00), yet another possibility is that "year of a day" is some sort of arcane Egyptian religious dividing of the day? (not an egyptology expert.)

I propose adding the begin date to the article (and counting days of 5 or so for the festival lasts that long) The Website seems legit enough to me, it sources wikipedia and gives the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decree_of_Canopus as its source for this information. ~🐈🐈~♪~何? 23:26, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(addendum. the website does go on to describe much of what is already written about the festival in this very article. so I am led to believe they have in-fact the same source (i.e. Decree of Canopus) )
