Low

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

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

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

Designation "Shoshenq C"

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments1 person in discussion

The designation of this historical person, the High Priest of Amun who was the son of Sekhemkheperre Osorkon I and Maatkare B, as "Shoshenq C" is erroneous, contradicting Egyptological practice. "Shoshenq C" is the designation of a High Priest of Ptah at Memphis, who lived at about the same time. The present Shoshenq did not really have a lettered designation, in part because he was long considered to be the future King "Shoshenq II," something now considered increasingly unlikely (his own descendants did not reference him as king). In newer Egyptological literature, e.g., the works of Dodson and others, the present Shoshenq is designated "Shoshenq Q." The article should be renamed.
