Low

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

WikiProject Ancient Egypt to-do list:

Needed articles
- A page with a list of desired articles / wishlist
  - Current: Most nomes, government / administration or alternatively Organization of the ancient Egyptian State if those aren’t separate topics, State development in predynastic Egypt, Predynastic hunting, Kleinkönig (Egypt), Predynastic marine (egypt), and Disability in ancient Egypt
  - Redirects that could be articles: Economy of ancient Egypt
- Could also do with a list of articles that are in urgent need of some TLC
Needing attention
- Articles needing some TLC
  - Current: Fifth Dynasty of Egypt has a lot of details missing
- Project page could use some work, specifically the aimless links in the header. Whether those get directed to destinations or removed is up for debate
- The Religion work group has a separate To-Do that could always use some love
- All stub and start class articles, always
Misc
- Standardized chronology
  - Currently a difficult task due to the lack of consensus in the greater community over an accurate chronology, but definitely something to keep coming back to
  - In the meanwhile: it’s a good policy to have a survey of dates from sources in articles about time periods; for smaller mentions (ex. at the start of “Atenism under Akhenaten” here: “Amenhotep IV, the son of Amenhotep III, was crowned king c. 1353 BC.”) circa is your best friend
- Discussion
  - Creating a separate article for Predynastic Egypt from Prehistoric Egypt starting with the Badarian culture where many overviews begin
- Data sorting
  - Looking through sources for quotes and data that can be added to relevant articles

Medjay is a military unit from the ancient world, no dispute about the words and it's applications.

There actually is a dispute in scholarly literature. The reason your edits were reverted, however (not by me), is that you posted info without a reliable source. Pathawi (talk) 11:24, 11 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Pan-Grave

Latest comment: 3 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

In the last decade, the Pan-Grave and the Medjay are no long considered the same thing. Because they are different, the Pan-Grave should have their own entry and be dealt with separately. See these two articles by Kate Liszka: https://www.academia.edu/86811324/Pan_Grave_and_Medjay_At_the_Intersection_of_Archaeology_and_History and https://www.academia.edu/13518650/_Are_the_Bearers_of_the_Pan_Grave_Archaeological_Culture_Identical_to_the_Medjay_People_in_the_Egyptian_Textual_Record_Journal_of_Ancient_Egyptian_Interconnections_7_2_42_60 Dwarfseneb (talk) 18:31, 5 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Dwarfseneb The current article seems confused about the change. the intro says "were once" but the. later the article says experts generally consider the two to be the same

so, some clarification is needed even if/until the two are separated. Mastakos (talk) 04:18, 20 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
