Guidelines for disucssion:
Please use your name (full, or first initial and last name) when commenting so as to receive proper credit for your participation on the wiki. Initial prompts will be posed early each week and discussion will continue for the rest of the week. Everyone is encouraged to post questions (and these may run the gamut from requests for clarification of a basic factual point to deeply searching philosophical quandries, though even the latter should be on topic). Please put questions in italics so that they stand out from general discussion. Everyone is also encouraged to reply to both the big prompts and to questions posed by your peers. Ideally this will be an active board for discussing questions related to Egyptian history. I trust you all to maintain a respectful attitude and keep it vibrant by posting often. In addition to different pages for topics (corresponding to weeks), I've thrown up pages for questions relating to the exams.
