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.

This article says that "According to Manetho, he was part of the priesthood at Heliopolis, and supported the introduction of monotheism by Akhenaten." As far as I know Akhenaten's very existence was not known of until the late nineteenth century, since he and his immediate successors had been expunged from Egyptian records. So what is the basis for this claim. User:Paul Barlow18:39, 23 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

Osarseph = Ahmose Sipair or Serapis. The "Si" symbol in Si-pair, ie. son of... is really "Ser". He was either a prince or a pharoah, before Amenhotep I. Sometimes Serapis is spelled "Osarapis". There is an extra S in manetho's greek, but it's easy to see who is intended. And you can even see the Moses in Ahmosis.
