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.

Hello, first i have to appologize, that i deleted part of the article without improving it. Its because my english is too bad, but the facts in article were definitely wrong. Novel is not divided into two parts, the story is happend in one time period, its story of Pandion and his fellows managing journey from slavery in Egypt to freedom, through African continent. There is a note about expedition to the south, when another slave gave gemstone to Pandion, but its only a short story which unveiled history of the stone..
And also i improve dating of the story, because there is sentence which said that Akhenaten lived 400 years before.--Alois Musil (talk) 18:13, 24 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
There is a lot of confusion here. Basically, the first part was sometimes published separately under various names, as was the second. But both parts were written at the same time (1946) and form one book, with events from the first (the gemstone) impacting the second. It is not a short story by a long shot (pun intended) since both parts are of similar volume.
Yes, the English translation linked lists only the second part, but that's not the only edition format.
You're quite right about the date thing on the other hand. -- Grafikm(AutoGRAF) 13:54, 19 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
