WikiProject Ancient Egypt to-do list: edit history watch purge 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.

Still not sure that this article is as well-coordinated with Egyptomania as it could be... Churchh 13:25, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is obviously a mistranslation in that pasage. Christ sought refuge in egypt, when Herod was slautering the sons of Isreal in an attempt to remove threat from "his" throne. Similar to moseses "plight" yes however christ recieved refuge and the pharoh was not killing all the first born jew sons. Similair but to the same incident. Kind of like two car wrecks on the same milage of highway but with different cars invovled. Egypt is NOT gamora, and Gamora is the litteral translation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.14.131.239 (talk) 23:31, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was surprised to find this article without so much as a passing reference to Stargate or The Fifth Element. 67.188.158.244 (talk) 01:49, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Much like the fellow who was surprised to see no mention of science fiction, I was surprised to see no mention of mummy-related horror and adventure movies, whether we're talkin'
