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.

Opposite[edit]

I've seen Hapi and Hapy listed as opposites in several locations. Encyclopedia Brittanica lists them as the alternate to this entry and this entry appears to be from thefreedictionary.com which, of course, lists it in this manner. Does anyone have a conclusive, cited, answer to which is which? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shoebox~enwiki (talk • contribs) 15 December 2004 (UTC)

Hapi, the son of Horus and Hapy the Nile inundation are different gods and their names are spelled differently in Egyptian. This article is very poor and confuses the two and I intend to edit when I have time. Apepch7 15:14, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Compass Directions Reference: Neutrality?[edit]

I've noted this pages has been constantly vandalized and for that my confidence in it is a little bit hurt. I really cannot find any reliable reference linking the "Hapi" son of Horus with the direction north. Looks like it was a later edit and could be some sort of vandalism. Several online references, including [1] page 78 links Hapi with east direction. Also, unless I've looked in the wrong place, the Spell 148 of the Book of Dead don't even mention the sons of Horus, or Hapi specifically. Please take a look in the Hapi historic page to see what I'm talking about.

I would really like to have access to this suspicious reference 9: Lurker, op.cit., p.104. Anyone could check this one? It was created back in 14 august 2007 along with a batch by 'Andi d'. Please check here[2] the version history of the Four Sons of Horus

Does anyone know what Greek deity Hapi was affiliated with during the Hellenistic era?[edit]

I need to know for certain studies I'm working on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.92.234.42 (talk) 23:46, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
