Ancient Egypt: Egyptian religion High‑importance This article is within the scope of WikiProject Ancient Egypt, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of Egyptological subjects on Wikipedia.

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

The page says "Set had a vital role as a reconciled combatant" with no explanation. It sounds like "reconciled combatant" is a mythic archetype. Is it a Jungian archetype? The reference associated with the sentence references a book, but no other wikipedia article. If "reconciled combatant" is not notable enough to be explained in a wikipedia entry, it's not notable enough to be used as unexplained jargon here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.239.118.250 (talk) 14:36, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The References section refers to Griffiths 1960, but does not give a full citation. The reference is probably to The Conflict of Horus and Set, by J. Gwyn Griffiths, published in 1960. P992ohae (talk) 23:59, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the exact same picture used for both Set and his supposed son Anubis? Please make up your mind. It can't be BOTH 2601:18F:E82:A10:B947:E31:EB0A:744B (talk) 09:46, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The infobox images for this article (Set (deity)) and Anubis are not the same. NebY (talk) 09:53, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
