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.

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.

Plagiarism edit

Much of the original article seems to have been disgracefully plagiarised from suspect sources and put too much emphasis on the tablet's esoteric connections. I have checked the material and then rearranged and rewritten the sections to make the article more encyclopaedic. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 13:24, 4 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Actual Translation edit

Is there actually a translation of the tablet or was this supposed to just 'depict' a picture? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.75.93.51 (talk) 18:54, 30 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
