Egypt is the internationally used name but not the name used by the people of the country. It derives from the Greek Aegyptos, which in turn probably comes from ancient Egyptian words referring to the land ( Hut-ka-ptah, or house of the essence [ka] of Ptah, a local god).
The population of nearly 70 million Egyptians is 94 percent Muslim with the primary ethnic group being Eastern Hamitic stock (Egyptians, Bedouins, and Berbers). Only half of Egypt's citizens are literate with less than 40 percent of that number being women. Egypt is home to the Nile River. It is by the northern end of the Red Sea, the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea, and located in the northeastern corner of Africa across from Turkey to the north and Saudi Arabia to the east, adjacent to Israel, Islamic Sudan and militant Libya.
