Mid

This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article is supported by Egyptian religion work group (assessed as Mid-importance).

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.

Herihor was not Pharaoh

Latest comment: 2 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I don't understand why infobox classifies Herihor (and other Hight Priests from Third Intermediate Period on their respective pages) as "Pharaoh". He was not one de iure and even text of articles acknowledges that he did recognize Pharaoh from Lower Egypt above himself. While Herohor had enormous power and could be considered de facto Pharaoh, that does not make him one. Regent or Viceroy also has power equal to King/Queen, but from lgeal point of view they are different thing. Infobox does not present Herihor accuratelly as he never legally claimed to be King. I do not question his power ad significant political position, but he was not Pharaoh and neither other High Priestes of this period (except maybe Pinedjem I, but here let it be decided by peopel who know more about this time than me). I wanted delete Pharaohs' title form infobox, but I think this is specific 'Pharaoh Infobox' - I am new and I don't really knwo what to do with this, so can someone help, please?
