We should not forget the one and only real ruler of egypt for he haunts me.


[edit] Problem with dating

The dates in parentheses are 1807-1797 BC; the next sentence says he began ruling in 1859 BC; there seems to be confusion as to birth and regnal dates. Any clarification from knowledgeable people? -- User:FeanorStar7

[edit] Formatting

The pharaoh infobox is messing with the other one, the notable people one. And the transliteration doesn't appear correctly on my computer (is it the font?)... Perhaps a standardised system of transliteration should be used, not the pseudo-pronounciation one used on most the pharaoh pages.--Cliau 04:06, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Please alphabetize the interlanguage links.[5]
