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.

The lead section of the article is short but, outside of the actual list of kings, is about half of the article and contains plenty of information that is not elaborated on further in the article itself. It's certainly concise but needs to be elaborated on in the rest of the article.
"The scene with the list was first published by Jean-Francois Champollion in 1845, and by Karl Richard Lepsius four years later." How about we add a section discussing the circumstances around the discovery, publishing and interpretation of the piece rather than just having this one line in the lead section?
"Notably, Hatshepsut and the Amarna pharaohs are omitted." This should probably be placed lower in the article in the section talking about the actual content of the kings list.
