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.

More fancy words

Needs more fancy words. Most wiki articles have big words. Looks like something out of a 7th/6th grade textbook. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.126.225.145 (talk) 21:05, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dates

Is it possible to get dates for stages of agricultural development? Particularly of the canal irrigation system. --Seazzy (talk) 21:39, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Ancient Egyptian cattle into Ancient Egyptian agriculture

A few lines, cited to one source only, would fit well in a new Livestock section in this article. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:12, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Since cattle were used to plow fields, this makes sense. Jusdafax (talk) 03:16, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

History

Agriculture was one of the main reasons for the rise of the Egyptian civilization. The fertile soil deposits abundant water supply from the Nile river and well developed irrigation system enable the people to grow crops all year round. Their chief crops were wheat millet, barley, dates, figs and melons. They also grew flags which was converted into linen. 103.93.248.46 (talk) 16:20, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
