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

Serket/Scorpion

Latest comment: 4 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

We have exactly the same issue here as at Serket II. By the same token there is no justification whatsoever for renaming the predynastic king known universally to English-speaking scholarship as "Double Falcon" to "Nahe-Nahe". We simply don't know how the signs relate to this king's spoken name, and to guess like this is original research. If it was known for sure that this was how his name was said, this is how he would be known in the literature. But he isn't that I have ever seen.

The image in the infobox was inappropriate, being a statue of the goddess Serket from the tomb of the New Kingdom Pharaoh Tutankhamun, so I removed it. I furthermore renamed "Serket" to "Scorpion" throughout to conform with every independent reference I can locate on the subject. TCC (talk) (contribs) 03:34, 8 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

I 100% agree with this statement from 20 years ago. The Grenadian Historian (Aka. Mwen Sé Kéyòl Translator-a) (talk) 15:50, 10 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Who is Scorpion the 1st's predecessor Bull? Is he an attested name with no other information, or just a name a user added with no context? Trajan anntonnius (talk) 19:55, 13 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

He was a partially attested ruler from the Theban desert road survey The Grenadian Historian (Aka. Mwen Sé Kéyòl Translator-a) (talk) 15:49, 10 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
