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 is the master of a series in progress that is being modeled after the Greek myth series. See for example Template:Greek myth (sea). Some of the sub-regions may require a list of deities to complete underneath this master such as in Template:Fertile Crescent myth (Mesopotamia).
The Fertile Crescent page could modify this master for a more interesting template or could expand to include a discussion of religion in the region, unless there is already a page doing that that I have not yet found.
The reason for a template for all the mythologies of the Fertile Crescent is that they share many of the same gods, yet most of them are too small or have few Wikipedian articles on them to be grouped by topic. Grouping them by geography is shows their relationships. Also, this template is, like the Greek template, to have a section at the top for general topics and a section at the bottom for the list of specific gods within a certain topic. This is necessary to allow for expansion of the template without it becoming too bulky.
