In a previous version of this template, the Late Period consisted of everything after Dynasty 25, minus the Romans. Egyptologists do not divide the periods in such a way. The Late Period is Dynasties 26–31. What falls after is the Graeco-Roman Period (the Macedonians [Alexander the Great and Alexander III], the Ptolemies, and the Romans). Since the Romans at least pretended to be Pharaohs, and Pharaonic civilisation was on-going under Roman rule, they should be included here as well. —Nefertum17 08:25, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Purpose

I don't understand why there are two dynasty lists, and why we need a specific template for the Late dynasties? It lists the predyanstic period and all the OK to NK dyansties as well. There is already Template:Egyptian Dynasty list for that. — Zerida 02:18, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

The list here has collapsed the other dynasties, and only shows the major eras and the dynasties of this period. We could produce a template to do this. Not sure whether it is necessary, but it highlights the areas of interest. If you think it is unnecessary, then would it just be replaced with the full template ? Markh 07:18, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I guess I was confused why a Late period list would list the predynastic all the way to the New Kingdom. Having one comprehensive list like Template:Egyptian Dynasty list seems sufficient. If there are no objections to redirecting this list to the main template, I think that's what we should do. — Zerida 20:08, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
