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.

Age

It seems quite an omission that this article doesn't include any information on when the pyramid was constructed. I would add this information if I wads able. Sipos0 (talk) 00:37, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

angle question

The article says that when cracks began to form at the bottom of the pyramid, the builders decided to lower the height. But how would this lead to the pyramid's slope being steeper at the top than at the bottom? Shouldn't it be the reverse? --Allen 01:09, 28 July 2006 (UTC) the pirmid is 698.5 long —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.165.43.146 (talk) 22:50, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ancient Egyptian Name

I'm sure it's in someone's plans (hint hint) to do that here, but it would be neat to add the Ancient Egyptian name (in Egyptian) to this pyramid, complete with Unicode programming. Those articles about Userkaf's and Sahura's made me sure pharaoh Khafra deserves one too! — Preceding unsigned comment added by EammonRhys (talk • contribs) 02:05, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pythagorean triple

By my maths, one needs to count in half-cubits to get an integral triple from the dimensions. (411,548,685) Is there a source that clarifies the basis for this claim? 109.255.211.6 (talk) 19:34, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. I removed it for now until someone can come up with a source. Hypnôs (talk) 20:19, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
