Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ancient Egypt/Archive 1

message: This WikiProject was created as a result of the following discussion on these talk pages: User_talk: Hajor, User_talk: JCarriker, and User_talk: Llywrch.
I was wondering if you would be interested in starting a wikiproject about Ancient Egypt? It could be useful for creating infoboxes and standardizing spelling in article titles as well as dates. If you are interested, please alert me via my talk page. (P.S. You may want to consider archiving some of your talk page it is 36KB.) -JCarriker 05:06, Aug 23, 2004 (UTC)
:Hi JCarriker -- sure, I'd be interested in getting a wikiproject about Ancient Egypt started. I've been thinking that the tables that are created for each dynasty, & shown at Conventional Egyptian chronology, Pharaoh, & under each dynasty ought to somehow be drawn from the same template for convenience of maintenance, & this would be a good way to make it work.
And thanks for the heads-up about my Talk page: since I don't often respond to comments there, I'm not always aware of how long the page has become. -- llywrch 03:37, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll certainly sign up, too. Are you aware of :m:Egyptopedia over on meta? The guys on w:fr, in particular, have implemented some very neat ideas for standard formats and infoboxes, etc. –Hajor 14:37, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: I have also created a new page on Egyptian mathematics, based on notes from a lecture I attended a month or two ago.  It could do with some more work.  -- ALoan (Talk) 10:46, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: I have created Wikipedia:WikiProject Ancient Near East, to which this project would seem a natuaral descendant (for definitions of ANE that include Egypt). I suppose the ANE project will have Anatolia and Mesopotamia as further subdivisions, although there was of course more interaction between these two. The most important overlap of the ANE and the Ancient Egypt project would be chronology: See Chronology of the Ancient Orient — it would be my aim to arrive at a clean practice for giving 2nd and 3rd millennium dates: If not consistent use of either short or middle chronology, it should at least be possible to identify each date as to with which chronology it is is in accord. A feel pretty alone in the ANE article space, at the moment (I have tried to tie things together with  :Template:Ancient Mesopotamia so far), and any help is appreciated! dab 18:11, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: The Qur'an features a Haman who was a companion of a Pharaoh in ancient Egypt; several Muslim websites contain assurances, with bibliographic support, that the name "Haman" is attested in at least one Middle Kingdom inscription.  I'd rather verify this personally, but I'm having trouble finding the two books cited around here - does any of you have them?  And if you can find it, it would be really cool to have the original hieroglyphics and the proper transliteration... All the relevant details are in Haman (Islam). - Mustafaa 23:12, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
