replies: text: Sounds great! Depending on how long and involved you'd like to get, you might want to think about starting it as a separate timeline and linking to it here. Just a thought - either way, your contributions would be greatly appreciated - also there's an award for work on this over at User:Transhumanist's award page. You might think about checking it out and getting a little community cred for your efforts! -Phyesalis (talk) 18:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I was bold and weird and merged "Ancient egyptian military" (We'd have had to move it to a title with correct capitalization anyway). Adding archive of its old talk page. Anyone want to take a look? -Phyesalis (talk) 20:19, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I added a "dubious" tag to a sentence in the paragraph under Old Kingdom because the sentence is unsourced and sounds like personal opinion.  This opinion is itself dubious since the fact that a system of fortifications is never attacked does not at all mean it is "a waste of resources" since the presence of the forts may have served as a deterrent to attack, meaning they fulfilled their desired purpose.  If no objections appear here I will remove the sentence. The Seeker 4 Talk 14:15, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I have removed the following, which constituted the entire Middle Kingdom section:
In the Middle Kingdom, the theory of equilibrium imperialism really began to develop.Smith, Stuart Tyson "State and Empire in the Middle and New Kingdoms" Egypt's control of the surrounding territories became something that the military was forced to be directly involved in. They needed to control their own borders for several reasons. First of all, Egypt was protecting her own strength, land, and resources. Also, she needed to control trade routes so Egypt could continue to be wealthy and powerful. Borders were also expanded during this time.
The writing style is roughly on a par with a sixth-grade oral report. I could fix that, but I'm not confident that there's any point. The first sentence uses the redlinked jargon "equilibrium imperialism", which apparently is a thing but has not been written about widely and may not reflect mainstream scholarship. In any event, the cited source has nothing to say about it. Everything else that is said in this paragraph could be said about most armies in any place and at any time; it's not specific to Middle Kingdom Egypt. So it's just worthless.
So as not to leave the section blank, I'm grabbing relevant, sourced content from Middle Kingdom of Egypt and adapting it for this article. I'm also placing an expansion needed tag. RivertorchFIREWATER 18:14, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

message: Why is it that we use the term "pharaoh" to describe the king in 3150 BC? From the Pharaoh page, "although the actual term "Pharaoh" was not used contemporaneously for a ruler until circa 1200 BCE.", we can see that the term was not used by them to refer to their kings/rulers until much later. Wouldn't it be more accurate to call them "Kings" at least until the end of the New "Kingdom"? This wording choice is not limited to this article, but I thought I would ask, since the sentence at the beginning of this article comes off as incorrect; "The civilization coalesced around 3150 BC[1] with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh, and it developed over the next three millennia.[2]" Wcichello (talk) 15:36, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

message: I propose to remove 'After the composite bow was introduced by the Hyksos, Egyptian soldiers used this weapon, as well.[7]' under 'The Old Kingdom (2686–2181 BC)', as Hyksos happened about 1650 BCE.
