This article has not yet received a rating on the project's importance scale. WikiProject Ancient Egypt to-do list: edit history watch purge 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.

Relief of Maat, KV17, Museo Archeologico Nazionale Florence

• ... that Relief of Maat (pictured) from the Tomb of Seti I depicted her as interchangeable with depictions of other Egyptian goddesses in the tomb, hinting to her broad and flexible role during the 19th Dynasty?

• Source: > Its walls bear important texts and compositions concerning the afterlife interspersed with images of numerous gods and goddesses who interact with the king through word or touch. Whether Maat, Isis, Selqet, or Nephthys, each goddess depicted is distinguished by her head ornament but otherwise resembles the others in both appearance and speech.

>Within both Seti I's tomb and other royal tombs of this period, Maat's image is most often positioned alongside the goddesses of Upper and Lower Egypt, Nekhbet and Wadjet-who are depicted as cobras-to adorn doorways.2 In one such example, her image appears on both sides of the doorway, while in another, one of her images is replaced by Hathor, hinting at the goddesses' interchangeability.

• • ALT1: ... that since 1930, a stained glass depiction Relief of Maat (pictured) from the National Archaeological Museum, Florence decorates Yale Law School's Dining Hall? Source: >The Yale Law School is adorned with numerous stained-glass windows, located in stairwells, classrooms, and offices. The Lillian Goldman Law Library Class of 1964 Reading Room features some representatives of tools of industry such as a wheat elevator, traffic light, and radio tower. In the Ruttenberg Dining Hall, where students study and snack, there are both colorful and grey-scale window decorations featuring Confucius, Maat, Egyptian Goddess of Justice, and the Death of Socrates. In a first-floor classroom, the windows contain what appears to be medieval kings, queens and courtiers in colorful attire. These images were copied from illustrations in Les Cartes à Jouer, a book on the history of playing cards. https://your.yale.edu/youryale/2025-12-08-campus-prisms
