  • Hook not very hooky. Dunno if we want to mention the incest? Maybe something about "seized Egyptian stone sarcophagi belonging to members of the Egyptian elite; three of these sarcophagi were unearthed in the royal necropolis of Sidon." might be more interesting hook?
I hope these work. el.ziade (talkallam) 08:15, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Not mandatory but you might like to add a short description

  • Checked for copyvio with Earwig - no probs

Chidgk1 I have gone over the article as you suggested. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do.el.ziade (talkallam) 08:15, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

I think we could make a snappier and more hooky hook. So do we know for sure if he used one of the sarcophagi himself?Chidgk1 (talk) 15:45, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
Chidgk1 Well his is either not located yet, or is one of the unmarked sarcophagi at Topkapı. One plain unfinished and un-engraved sarcophagus is presumed to have housed Amatashtart but we can't know that for sure. It may as well be the sarcophagus of Eshmunazar. Both cases are conjectures until new evidence surface. el.ziade (talkallam) 05:45, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
ok both hooks approved - you choose Chidgk1 (talk) 08:48, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
