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.

Confusing line[edit]

I came across this line in the article; "The use of cartouches by prominent queens became commonplace during the New Kingdom, when it was used not only by Great Royal Wives, but by other queens as well, a cartouche is Hannah Kelly it is not clear what determined if a queen was entitled to it." However, it appears to be poorly written and slightly confusing, especially the last half of it. Not to mention I have no idea who Hannah Kelly is or why her name was stuck into the line seemingly erroneously. My guess is that it should go something like this The use of cartouches by prominent queens became commonplace during the New Kingdom when it was used not only by Great Royal Wives, but by other queens as well. It is not clear what determined if a queen was entitled to it. But that seems as though something might be missing from it. Any thoughts?98.215.128.112 (talk) 16:48, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done: Line not in article any more. --Vollbracht (talk) 16:11, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What shall be shown and what doesn't work? Your first example shows up quite well if written

<hiero>< Aa1-G43-I9-G43 ></hiero>

result:

Now about the second: is there any example to be found in Egypt with a cartouche written in an other one? --Vollbracht (talk) 15:56, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

more other meanings[edit]

this is not a good website whenever i go on here i can NEVER find my answer SAME — Preceding unsigned comment added by H\HellNo bro (talk • contribs) 15:41, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Me too! Yesterday I was looking for a cookie recipe. Didn't find it here. --Vollbracht (talk) 15:16, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done: No question - no answer!

A question[edit]

The first part of the article tells us that the term was first applied to the Egyptian symbol by soldiers. Assuming these are the soldiers of Napoleans foray into Egypt C. 1800 (where French soldiers common in Egypt before then?) this seems unlikely given the term's prior use in europe for a similar symbol. Coincidence or folk etymolgy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ae7flux (talk • contribs)

What similar symbol? --Vollbracht (talk) 15:29, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

graces section[edit]

What are words and icons made from? The answer is clearly given on this site. --Vollbracht (talk) 15:37, 23 December 2021 (UTC) Done[reply]

why?[edit]

Why would cartouches of Kephren and Pepi I be found in Ebla? 4.249.63.83 (talk) 23:57, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?[edit]

Should we merge this article with Cartouche (hieroglyph)? Peter Chastain (talk) 12:49, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I support that, since this article is wholly about its occurrence in hieroglyphics. RCopple (talk) 20:13, 29 February 2012 (UTC) Done: Has a redirect here already.[reply]
