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.

incorrect assertion?! edit

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

now the text has "Eurydice's lineage ended with Demetrius the Fair (285-240/49 BCE) son of Demetrius Poliorcetes and Ptolemais.". But this must be incorrect, because the murdered Demetrios the Handsome/Fair had two sons, King Antigonos Doson and Ekhekrates, and one grandson, Ekhekrates's son, another Antigonos (who is alive still in 179 BCE). 2001:14BA:4857:A000:A8AA:B86F:145A:9FEE (talk) 09:27, 12 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

She could have died edit

What contradicts the possibility of her death? Her date of death is unknown. 2A00:23EE:13D8:B52C:28D6:CE6D:F7DE:A543 (talk) 15:39, 5 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Pausanias states that Ptolemy fathered children by Eurydice and Berenice concurrently (as stated in the article). Plutarch, Demetrius 46.3, also reports that she was present for the wedding of her daughter Ptolemais to Demetrius Poliorcetes in Miletus in c. 287 BC (Berenice's first child was Arsinoe II born in 316 BC).
