[edit] Mass expansion

Amenhotep I is next on my agenda to expand, but it's going to be much harder to do than previous work, because I've hit so much conflicting data. The pharaohbox will look smaller when I get more info and it doesn't take the entire page, I suppose. Once I figure out the entire date conroversy I'll straighten that out. One question, is there any good source for that lybian invasion? I can't seem to find any. Thanatosimii 03:39, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

The date info is now in. Since I couldn't find any other date theses than the heliacal rise of sothis dating system, I standerdized the dates to Helk's thesis as recorded in Grimal's works. I also tagged some information which I don't doubt, but which has no sources on the page as of yet. Thanatosimii 19:16, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

And I've summerized his foreign policies and campaigns and stuff like that. Thanatosimii 05:37, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Barring finding of a statue (which I may yet) I'll be putting "Image:Amenhotep I 1.jpg" on the page for his picture in the infobox. I'm just keeping it here so that I don't misplace it until the article is big enough to put the stele somewhereThanatosimii 18:44, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I've moved some data into better spots, and have noticed that the introduction is lacking in a good summary. Unfortunatly, I can't write a good summary until I put way more of my data onto the page, which may take a little while to organize. Thanatosimii 06:17, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] barque

This article mentions 'barque' in at least two places, but the WP articles on 'barque' do not support this use. What gives here? Hmains 21:17, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

"Barque", sometimes "Bark", is the translation of wia, meaning the divine ship in which the god's idol was set during parades. Barque is the proper word. Thanatosimii 22:33, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA on hold

Pretty good, but lead needs to summarize the article better. Make it do so and at least two paragraphs.Rlevse 21:43, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, it's two paragraphs now, and I did so by adding a summary of how he acceded to the throne. The intro now summarizes his family and accession, foreign policy, construction, culutral developments, and funerary cult. Help me understand your concern – Is there any specific hole you have concerns about, or is one of these points simply not flushed out enough? Thanatosimii 22:13, 14 January 2007 (UTC)...passed with updates.Rlevse 04:30, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Amenhotep I's height

In my opinion (where this site has a lot of them) I would say that judging by the picture of him sitting next to the man that he is 8.5 feet tall.

In Egyptian art, height of an image represents importance, not physical stature. We have the mummy; he was nowhere near 8.5 feet. Thanatosimii 23:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
