Ancient Egypt: Egyptian religion Low‑importance

Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article is supported by Egyptian religion work group (assessed as Mid-importance).

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.

POV

Invalid reference. Reference 2 Looks like 'personal research' for me (read: BS). This leads to an fault in the neutral POV premise. I suggest rewriting. "Adtollite portas principes vestras" 04:51, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. Geocities websites are no more reliable than another wiki. I rmoved the section and the tag.-- Secisek (talk) 06:01, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

IW problem

Something in the article is generating a bogus Hebrew interwiki... AnonMoos (talk) 18:47, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hieroglyphs

The hieroglyphs read 'Atum', not 'Iusaaset'. I'd change it but I'm not sure how to do hieroglyphs in Wikipedia. 99.25.117.218 (talk) 08:00, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

is probably warranted here but still needs to have some WP:RSes added or should be pulled as WP:OR. — $Llywelyn II$ 06:38, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Does her name have the name of Isis in it?

Isis being actually Iset or Aset. In English it looks like that could be the case, but that could be misleading?--JaredMithrandir (talk) 02:12, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Judging from what I can find in my sources, her name had the phonetic value ʿIw=s-ʿꜣ=s or ʿIw=s-ʿꜣ=st and was written

or similarly. The ꜣst combination of consonants is the same as Isis' name, but I wouldn't assume there's a connection. The -t was simply the feminine suffix for any word, and the hieroglyphic spelling of Iusaaset's name shows no particular similarity to that of Isis' name.

If you're researching a bunch of Egyptian deities, I really do suggest getting a book on the subject; they're not easy to keep straight in one's head (like with Amun and Atum) if you don't know the material thoroughly. The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt and The Routledge Dictionary of Egyptian Gods and Goddesses both list all the major deities and a lot of minor ones; the former gives a better idea of the underlying belief systems and the latter list hieroglyphic spellings for most gods' names. Egyptian Mythology by Geraldine Pinch describes the major myths and contains a catalogue of most major deities or classes of deity. I recommend any of the three, though I don't know which one best fits your needs. A. Parrot (talk) 01:20, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
