Egypt is a country in North Africa, on the Mediterranean Sea, and is among the oldest civilizations on earth. The name 'Egypt' comes from the Greek Aegyptos which was the Greek pronunciation of the Egyptian name 'Hwt-Ka-Ptah' (which means House of the Spirit of Ptah, who was a very early God of the Ancient Egyptians).he great monuments which Egypt is still celebrated for reflect the depth and grandeur of Egyptian culture which influenced so many ancient civilizations, among them Greece and Rome. Evidence of overgrazing of cattle, on the land which is now the Sahara Desert, has been dated to about 8,000 BCE.
As in modern Egypt, this was both a name for the administrative center of Egypt, what we call Memphis today, as well as the name of the country as a whole. Egypt, as many people of the world refer to the country today, is a derivative of this ancient name.his is probably derived from an ancient term, Mizraim which may have itself been derived from an ancient Egyptian word, md-r mdr, which people in the region called Egypt. Misr is an Arabic name simply meaning country, and part of the tradition of this term in as a name for Egypt comes from the Islamic Quran.
