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.

I disagree. The other article is for genetic results that are derived from someone by testing their descendants. This article is for actual remains that are tested. According to the article
Mummy, "A mummy is a corpse whose skin and dried flesh have been preserved by either intentional or accidental exposure to chemicals, extreme cold or dryness, or airlessness." I think Nicholas and Alexandra fit this definition. If not, we can rename this article to "List of DNA tested mummies and corpses". The information should be moved back here. -- Reinyday, 04:13, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, there's nothing in that definition that fits bodies buried under railway tracks, and there's nothing in the title or introduction of the other article that implies it is specifically for results tested from descendants. All the tests here are for real mummies, Egyptian or naturally preserved, and all of the tests in the other article refer to historical figures (hence the title), so it seems like a much better idea to put it there.

As it appears I've done enough damage already, I leave it to the two of you to decide upon and implement any further changes. User:Ceyockey (talk to me)

None of us should be the final arbiter of this stuff; I'm sure we can work something out. That's what talk pages are for!

I am wondering why the date is not BC/BCE or AD/CE and instead "Date Lived/Years Ago" Wouldn't that mean that this had to be updated annually? I know the year may be approximate, but it's confusing not to use a specific date. I'm wondering what the reasoning is on that or if I am misunderstanding that label?
What's with the lack of egyptian mummy mtDNA? I looked around on the web for it and found little information and a couple of fragments. It seems that there is some sort of political thing there.

I am by no means an expert on this subject, but it is my understanding that archeology is strictly regulated in Egypt by the Egyptian government (the Supreme Council of Antiquities) and that they have not allowed a lot of DNA testing. This article about the had me totally floored:
King Tut tut tut. — Reinyday, 03:11, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
I also believe that there's something political there. Egyptian government withdrew permission to get DNA sample of the Egyptian mummies, because of "national security", and
Zahi Hawass (the so-called Egyptologist) added that DNA testing is no use at all. (reference:
