Hi. I thought it might kick you to see the progress of my work on the Giza writing board. Take a look!^^ Regards;-- Nephiliskos ( talk) 11:24, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Well, this is indeed THE great riddle Egyptologists are gossiping about. Hotepsekhemwy is thought to be of importance because he founded a new dynasty after "saving Egypt". The name "Bedjau" is tzhought to be a misreading of the hieroglyphs for "Hotep-sekhemwy", but to be honest - I don't believe that anymore. To me it looks like the Egyptians have always used the birthname "Bedjau". And 5th dynasty is a bit too close for such drastically name warps, isn't it? If you whish, I'm gonna start a new section where I explain my theory of the name "Bedjau".
About Sekhemkhet: yeah, this king is like a one-hit-wonder: short lived and quickly forgotten. Some scholars doubt the identification of "Teti" with Sekhemkhet. Regards;-- Nephiliskos ( talk) 20:42, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Hello, do you ever heard about a statuette of Harpocrates with the cartouche of a king Nebiryraw (I or II)? It's peculiar because this deity was introduced during the Ptolemaic period, well over a millennia after Nebiryraw's life and death. I have only few infos about this curious issue, confirming the existence of this statuette, so I was wondering if you knew something more about that! Khruner ( talk) 16:11, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
Aahh.. hehe... I forgot.^^ Well, my theory about that name is this:
There is an ominous ruler named "Bird". It is thought by Beckerath, Schneider, Helck and Wilkinson, that this dude ruled either at the very end of the first dynasty, or at the midst of the second dynasty. The problem is the bird-depiction.
What do you say if I tell you that the reading of this bird might be "Bedja(u)"? There is indeed a bedjau-goose depicted during the reign of king Djer and Wadj. The bird is shown to be a special grave good for the deceased king. bedjau means something like "to proceed" or "guidance" (according to Morenz). My theory includes that Hor-Bedjau, Hor-Sneferka and Hor-Sekhet once ruled between Qa'a and Hotepsekhemwy as some kinda intermediate dynasty. But they were later excluded from official king lists, because their dynasty caused struggles amongst Egypt.
I also observed, that the throne name (niswt-bity nebty) is always exact the same as the serekh name from king Qa'a up to king Sekhemkhet. Isn't that interesting? That's why I do not believe into this nonsense about "misreading" and I also don't believe in Weneg being identical with Raneb. Raneb already HAD a throne- and nisut-bity name, and always was Raneb. I'll create a table with hieroglyphs to demonstrate what I mean.
But back to Bedjau. Again, I think that this odd name originally meant "Bird", not Hotepsekhemwy. Because: look at the Sakkara King List and the Royal Canon of Turin. Here Hotepsekhemwy is named Netjer-Bau. How is that possible??? Two completely different birthnames for one pharaoh? As if! Where the hay did the get the hieroglyphs for "Netjer-Bau" from????
Here my theory strikes: Bedjau = Hor-Bedjau; Netjer-Bau = Hor-Hetepsekhemwy. Their personalities just merged together because of the ramesside censoring.
What do you think? Regards;-- Nephiliskos ( talk) 13:35, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
Maybe a look here helps to understand what I mean. The table is meant to show how I would divide the Early and Old Kingdom today. As you can see, my dividing concentrates on how certain groups of rulers used and designed their names and titles. What do you think? Regards;-- Nephiliskos ( talk) 10:37, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
That might be. But what if there has never been trouble whatsoever??? This is one of the things that bothers me about Egyptology. It's a bit disturbing, how often scholars interprete some "dynasty struggle" into any oddity that comes along with contemporary king lists.
It's the same thing as with the (today luckily disproven) theory about dynastic struggles because some rulers scratched out the names of their direct predecessors. As good as every ruler re-used certain jubilee vessels and scratched out the predecessor's name. Thus, this is no prove for dynastic struggles, on the contrary: this behaviour proves that the vessels were bequeathed from ruler to ruler as some kind of inheritance gift. It rather helps to identify the direct predecessor of a certain king. Example: Nynetjer took vessels from Raneb, who in turn took them from Hetepsekhemwy. Two stone bowls from Giza show a clear Nynetjer beside heavily grazed Raneb and Hetepsekhemwy. Another example are the famous jubilee vessels of Khasekhemwy showing a cartouche held by Nekhbet: look closely and you'll see weak traces of the Horus name "Sekhemib"!
Back to your argument: That's pretty strange what you say. Why on earth should a pharaoh change his complete titulary??? Was he even allowed to do that? We don't know that and espacially the early Egyptians left no clue about this. I can't imagine that a pharaoh was allowed to change his name just as he pleased. Regards;-- Nephiliskos ( talk) 11:17, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
As for me, it's especially the case of Hetepsekhemwy that bothers me. Why? Well, in contrast to Khasekhemwy we have no name change here! ;o) Hotepsekhemwy was always "Hotepsekhemwy". Khasekhemwy however, changed from "Kha-sekhem" to "Kha-sechemwy". Now to my prize winning question: why did Hotepsekhemwy NOT change his name??? Like, from "Hetepsekhem" into "Hetepsekhemwy"??? There is no "Hetepsechem"!
My second cardinal argument is the fact, that ramesside king lists allegedly use TWO DIFFERENT cartouche names for ONE AND THE SAME ruler! C'mon, do you really believe that? Have a look: at Giza and Abydos it's Bedjau, but at Sakkara and in the Turin Canon it's Netjer-Bau! Sorry, buddy, that this is definitively too phat for me. Such phat differences can't be explained by simple "misreading" - of what anyway??? Indeed, NO f*cking title, name or word of Hetepsekhemwy's lifetime could be used to build any of these names!
Not as long as: "Bedjau" was a different ruler, but his name merged with that of Hetepsekhemwy - such a case is proposed for Nynetjer, who is named "Ba-netjer" in all king lists, despite NO single title, name or word at Nynetjer's time uses the Ba-sign (neither the bird nor the ram).
Well, Wolfgang Helck points to several objects with the Ka-house of Heteps.. Inside this Ka-house the name Netjer-Ach or Ach-Netjer can be found. Helck claims, that this was the god Netjer-Achti. Nonsense in my opinion. At first, since when did the early Egyptians put the name of a god inside a ka-house??? There is no comparing case proven to hold this theory! Indeed, NO Egyptian ruler of the earliest dynasties mentions a deity inside their ka-house. The only thing you can find in a ka-house is a serekh-less Horus name and the phrase Za-Ha-Neb or Ha-Za-Neb inside. But a deity? Why should it, anyway? A ka-house was am offering chapel denoted to the king, not a temple denoted to a god.
I believe that Ach-Netjer was in fact the birth name of Heteps., but the Ach-bird was later erroneously read as a Ba- and Bau'-bird. This would explain as where the ramesside name Netjer-Bau comes from. Regards;-- Nephiliskos ( talk) 14:38, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I have re-written the article in my workshop. Seriously, the current version is pure horror, it's badly referenced and I was unable to find the diction "Nimaethap" in ALL of my books. Indeed, I only found "Hepenmaat" (outdated), "Nimaathap" and "Nimaat-Hapi. This should be fixed. If nothing speaks against my plan, I'm gonna renew the article.

EEF News had an article on the regent Queen Neithhotep today (sorry on Thursday) which shows 1. that she was not married to Narmer as her Wikipedia article claims and that she was a regent queen early in the reign of Djer. They gave these sources here and here So, the information about Neithhotep in Narmer and Hor-Aha is wrong since this is new information. Regards, -- Leoboudv ( talk) 05:57, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
This is indeed baffling. Neithhotep is entitled as "the coequal one who is given to Hor-Djer, Neithhotep". Theo only thing that keeps me busy is the number 11 written beneath. What does it mean? That she was escorting Djer in his 11th year of rulership? Another thing that is baffling: look closely to the most right signs! They show Djer's birthname!

Leoboudv Well you seem better than me at spotting the news in these emails, e.g. when I had missed the news regarding Neithhotep. As for Ararat Arev, he is the worst of all vandals in that he really never abandon. He must have been banned dozens of times and always keep coming back with new IPs and won't shy from reverting someone tens of times in a row (I experienced it personally, see here). It is to the point that I am wondering what makes him spend so much effort in this systematic vandalism, he has reached a level of dedication in his attacks that rivals those of editors like us!

During a recent lengthy discussion on the WP:FAC talkpage, several ideas were put forward as to how this procedure could be improved, particularly in making it more user-friendly towards first-time nominees. The promotion rate for first-timers at FAC is depressingly low – around 16 percent – which is a cause for concern. To help remedy this, Mike Christie and I, with the co-operation of the FAC coordinators, have devised a voluntary mentoring scheme, in which newcomers will guided by more experienced editors through the stages of preparation and submission of their articles. The general format of the scheme is explained in more detail on Wikipedia: Mentoring for FAC, which also includes a list of editors who have indicated that they are prepared to act as mentors.
Would you be prepared to take on this role occasionally? If so, please add your name to the list. By doing so you incur no obligation; it will be entirely for you to decide how often and on which articles you want to act in this capacity. We anticipate that the scheme will have a trial run for a few months before we appraise its effectiveness. Your participation will be most welcome. Brianboulton ( talk) 18:50, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Well, Wolfgang Helck points to several objects with the Ka-house of Heteps.. Inside this Ka-house the name Netjer-Ach or Ach-Netjer can be found. Helck claims, that this was the god Netjer-Achti. Nonsense in my opinion. At first, since when did the early Egyptians put the name of a god inside a ka-house??? There is no comparing case proven to hold this theory! Indeed, NO Egyptian ruler of the earliest dynasties mentions a deity inside their ka-house. The only thing you can find in a ka-house is a serekh-less Horus name and the phrase Za-Ha-Neb or Ha-Za-Neb inside. But a deity? Why should it, anyway? A ka-house was am offering chapel denoted to the king, not a temple denoted to a god.
I believe that Ach-Netjer was in fact the birth name of Heteps., but the Ach-bird was later erroneously read as a Ba- and Bau'-bird. This would explain as where the ramesside name Netjer-Bau comes from. Regards;-- Nephiliskos ( talk) 14:38, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I have re-written the article in my workshop. Seriously, the current version is pure horror, it's badly referenced and I was unable to find the diction "Nimaethap" in ALL of my books. Indeed, I only found "Hepenmaat" (outdated), "Nimaathap" and "Nimaat-Hapi. This should be fixed. If nothing speaks against my plan, I'm gonna renew the article.

EEF News had an article on the regent Queen Neithhotep today (sorry on Thursday) which shows 1. that she was not married to Narmer as her Wikipedia article claims and that she was a regent queen early in the reign of Djer. They gave these sources here and here So, the information about Neithhotep in Narmer and Hor-Aha is wrong since this is new information. Regards, -- Leoboudv ( talk) 05:57, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
This is indeed baffling. Neithhotep is entitled as "the coequal one who is given to Hor-Djer, Neithhotep". Theo only thing that keeps me busy is the number 11 written beneath. What does it mean? That she was escorting Djer in his 11th year of rulership? Another thing that is baffling: look closely to the most right signs! They show Djer's birthname!

Leoboudv Well you seem better than me at spotting the news in these emails, e.g. when I had missed the news regarding Neithhotep. As for Ararat Arev, he is the worst of all vandals in that he really never abandon. He must have been banned dozens of times and always keep coming back with new IPs and won't shy from reverting someone tens of times in a row (I experienced it personally, see here). It is to the point that I am wondering what makes him spend so much effort in this systematic vandalism, he has reached a level of dedication in his attacks that rivals those of editors like us!

User:Dr. Blofeld has created Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October.

During a recent lengthy discussion on the WP:FAC talkpage, several ideas were put forward as to how this procedure could be improved, particularly in making it more user-friendly towards first-time nominees. The promotion rate for first-timers at FAC is depressingly low – around 16 percent – which is a cause for concern. To help remedy this, Mike Christie and I, with the co-operation of the FAC coordinators, have devised a voluntary mentoring scheme, in which newcomers will guided by more experienced editors through the stages of preparation and submission of their articles. The general format of the scheme is explained in more detail on Wikipedia: Mentoring for FAC, which also includes a list of editors who have indicated that they are prepared to act as mentors.
Would you be prepared to take on this role occasionally? If so, please add your name to the list. By doing so you incur no obligation; it will be entirely for you to decide how often and on which articles you want to act in this capacity. We anticipate that the scheme will have a trial run for a few months before we appraise its effectiveness. Your participation will be most welcome. Brianboulton ( talk) 18:50, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
