Is that what they called it in ancient Egyptian; "Third Dynasty?" That sounds amazingly like our English word. --David depaoli — Preceding unsigned comment added by David depaoli (talk • contribs) 00:43, 2002 October 23 (UTC)

No. As soon as I can find out the Egyptian wording I will be changing it. --Lir — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lir (talk • contribs) 00:45, 2002 October 23 (UTC)


 * And then I will change it back to the English and then suggest to the wikipedia mailing list that your move privilages be revoked. I'm tired of having to move pages back because of your "my way or the highway" ideas that are counter to our well-accepted naming conventions. --mav

Names

 * I have added the standard naming templates, as the image used was flagged as being possibly deleted (from 2004!). Markh 20:46, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

he was not very popular. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.109.198.115 (talk) 22:34, 2006 February 20 (UTC)

I believe that the reference to his alternative name as 'Loser' is an attempt at a joke. There is no historical support for this. Can mods change it unless they believe that there's a good case for it staying, please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.28.204.254 (talk) 09:39, 2011 April 9 (UTC)

Imhotep Vs. Joseph

 * Please can you provide up to date references for any additions – a 70 year old reference isn't exactly current. Also this is not an article about Imhotep Markh 17:02, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Pharaoh
The Ancient Egyptians didn't call their kings Pharaohs until well into the New Kingdom... over a thousand years later.

Over a thousand years.

See the wiki entry Pharaoh. It was a title in a letter to Aknenaten and only LATER than THIS became a title for a king. Much later.

I do not believe it serves any good purpose to universally use the term Pharaoh as King. It creates the impression that kings in the Old Kingdom were Pharaohs. They were not. It directly asserts that Zoser (Djoser) was Pharaoh. He was not.

I think it should say "King."

Maybe the word "Pharaoh" should be replaced with "King" but still link to "Pharaoh."

I don't know.

I won't change anything.

Vizier error
The section titled "Djoser and Imhotep" claims Imhotep was Djoser's vizier. However, as far as I know, that was not one of the titles he held. "Chancellor" probably would be a better title of his to use here, but not "vizier". — al-Shimoni  (talk) 06:12, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
