I’m just pottering around filling out my new Historic Period type, and looking up the dynasties of Ancient Egypt. For each dynasty, I can note its start and end dates, which other dynasties preceded and succeeded it, and what important events occurred or people lived in the period.

The fun comes when you get to filling in the important people. Take Nefertiti for example. Spouse: Amenhotep I. Employment history: Consort. But who’s her employer? I put down Amenhotep, but I’m not quite sure that’s right. If Nefertiti, as consort, was employed by the pharaoh of the time, then is Prince Philip employed by Queen Elizabeth II?

I love it when Freebase gets mushy around the edges.
