This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.

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.

Names[edit]

Ta-seti wasn't the name of Nubia too? I remember reading somewhere that Nubia (or at least lower Nubia) and Upper Egypt, before the unification by Narmer, were one and the same. But I could be wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kleistinos (talk • contribs) 16:58, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dimensions of the District/Nome[edit]

The measurements in the article appear to be incorrect. I do not know the correct measurements, however, 5.5 hectares is not equivalent to 4.8 acres. A better conversion would be approximately 13.5 acres; the other conversion is equally skewed. Additionally, if the nome was more than 69 miles long, than in order to be even 13.5 acres, it would have to be less than 2 feet wide. Considering, that as a simple matter of common sense it is unlikely that the district was a mere 2 feet wide, these numbers are not compatible and at least one of them is likely incorrect.

Additionally, the source cited for this section of measurements only provides information on the size of the various measures, nowhere does it provide information on the specific dimensions of this district of Ta-Seti. Darthsnowball (talk) 04:19, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
