Anthony 10:26, 23 February 2006 (UTC) Reply If Judaism as a whole didn't think this papyrus important, but Michael Scanlan considered it vital it'd be the same deal.- T. JFW | 17:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC) Reply The Catholic Church represents a billion people. My point was actually that the religious organisations were likely to prefer the interpretation that confirms the historicity of their belief. dab ( ᛏ) 13:44, 30 January 2006 (UTC) Reply Why is the Catholic Church non-fringe and a respectable Jewish author yes-fringe? I'm not sure why you are attacking my comment I placed it in "quotation marks" because others have labeled this interpretation in that way, not because I was suggesting that the views were fringe. I am a bit tired of the assumption that it is "no surprise" people are crackpots as soon as they follow the Christian religion. Mainstream Christians would not give a damn about whether this papyrus documents Exodus. These seem to be American born agains or Bibilcal literalists. I don't think the Catholic Church has a position on the papyrus. Anyone an idea? JFW | 18:09, 8 November 2005 (UTC) Reply these "religious organizations" are themselves "fringe". As I said above, we need an authoratitive review from a credentialed Egyptologist to be represented. I have also provided some links supporting my assertion that religious organisations seem to prefer this "fringe" interpretation (no surprise). I have replaced it with "some", which indicates clearly that these are in the minority. I think this should be made clear in the article.- Rob117 21:30, 3 October 2005 (UTC) Reply I think "fringe historians" is a POV term. This Egyptology site refers to the Exodus association as that of "fringe historians." The identification with the Exodus is not generally accepted by scholars. What is the modern provenance of this artifact? Who discovered it, and when?.There are many online sources discussing its interpretation, but I had not the time to find out an authoratitive view from an established Egyptologist. There seem to be alternative views on its placement in history.

I have provided the Van Seters reference (his credentials will not be easy to obtain).

Anyone have a picture of the papyrus that we can use?.

Is there disagreement about the interpretation of the papyrus?.

What is Ipuwer (personal name, place name.)?.

Where is the papyrus currently? see below at official name.

I would suggest simply listing the text and let it speak for itself. The translation and/or a link to the content of the Papyrus is conspicuously missing while everything that is listed is speculation.

Probably a good exercise for someone who owns one of those impressive texts, yet can't get access to a research library. 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. This is a project I'd like to take on some day, & could be applied to more of Wikipedia than just Ancient Egypt. Any other candidates?Ī 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)Īnyone? I consider this probably the most unimportant of tasks on Wikipedia, but if you believe it needs to be done. And I'm told that at least some of the dynasty articles need work. To start with, most of the general history articles badly need attention.

I'm sure the rest of us can think of other articles we should have. We should have an article on every pyramid and every nome in Ancient Egypt.
