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.

Khui???[edit]

Pharaoh: Khui (notice the red link)

Ancient Name: Blank

Dynasty: FIP (This is not a dynasty number. In fact, I don't even know what it means.

Site: Dara (With no indication as to where that is)

Volume: Blank

Inclination: Blank

Notes: Blank

Image: (This is obviously not a pyramid)

"Khui" is not the name of a Pharaoh or Queen. What on Wikipedia is going on here? --LutherVinci (talk) 22:17, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is a link- it says he is a 'kinglet', whatever that means. 104.187.66.104 (talk) 23:35, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dates?[edit]

For most people, just listing a dynasty does little to place the pyramid in question in time. Couldn't we have some BCs /BCEs here? Kdammers (talk) 23:56, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Menkauhor Kaiu pyramid[edit]

Menkauhor Kaiu pyramid was rediscovered in 2008. Needs to be added.

Quote from Menkauhor Kaiu article:

"His pyramid was reported to have been found in 1842 by German archaeologist Karl Richard Lepsius at Saqqara. Lepsius called it number 29 or the "Headless Pyramid".[6] The pyramid was then lost under shifting sands until it was rediscovered in 2008." Y-barton (talk) 04:56, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sortable columns[edit]

Can someone please tweak the table so that each column's cells are sortable? This would be very useful if one wanted to order the table by date, height, etc. Occam's Shaver (talk) 19:37, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Table fomating[edit]

I move that the article is about the pyramids of Egypt, so the table should present the information in a manner that focuses on pyramids and then presents other information, what I mean by this is, if the columns are arranged in the following manner it would be better Pyramid Name | Pyramid Photograph | Built Date | Built By | so on Moughera (talk) 18:17, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sort by Volume[edit]

I don't know how to correct this, but if you sort the list by volume, you get a a somewhat random order. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlainFournier (talk • contribs) 16:29, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
