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.

Bata and Bat

Bata is an Egyptian male god, and Bat is the name of the goddess. Please read Susan T. Hollis, in: Chronique d'Égypte 59, 1984, page 248-257, where you can find more literature concerning Bata the male god.. Please excuse my bad English. Best wishes from --Gudrun Meyer 14:31, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I found out that you need references or sources for the female god Bat. Here is the best reference: Lexikon der Ägyptologie I, Wiesbaden 1975, 630-632. The best way to solve the problem is moving the article Bata (goddess) to Bat (goddess). Best wishes from --Gudrun Meyer 23:44, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now I edited this article by myself. You only have to move Bata (goddess) to Bat (goddess), because I do not dare it. Best wishes from --Gudrun Meyer 19:29, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am very disappointed that I got no answer since May 24th 2007 in the Talk: Bata (goddess). Now I’ll move Bata (goddess) to Bat (goddess) myself. She is really written B3t, not Bata (cf. Faulkner, Pyramid Texts, Utterance 506, p. 181). You can find a new article concerning Bata (god), which I started today. With kindest regards --Gudrun Meyer 20:18, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

assertions in article

I want to edit this article and I find it is full of statements which are widely quoted across the internet. One is the identification of Bat with the Milky Way - I can't find this in Wilkinson (one of the reference sources) and I intend to remove it. I am going to go through the article and delete anything which is doubtful or unreferenced. Apepch7 (talk) 19:26, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
