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

the hieroglyph for the benben is a triangular pyramid shape. ref. The lost mummy of Imhotep series/special (sorta looks like a drawing of a teepee or tent to my modern eyes, its taller then wide with another smaller triangle of same angle centered at its base and within the larger 1st) Bloodkith (talk) 01:48, 29 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

found this Bread-cone (hieroglyph) appears to be the one they pointed out in the show. Bloodkith (talk) 03:52, 29 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

The primordial mound that rose from the deep was a volcano, they believe it spit out the Sun. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.167.227.16 (talk) 03:49, 16 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
