In Semitic tongue it is called MISR. The name Egypt and the corresponding in different foriegn languages was derived from the Greek Aegyptus; since ancinent Greeks heard the name as [Oiko-Ptah] i.e. the dwelling/home/house of Egyptian god Ptah. Some refer the name to QEPHT or KEFT, an ancient name of the land. Others refer it to QEPT i.e. Copts, the Eyptian Christians. However; I am inclined towards the 1st one, it seems more convincible from the linguist point of view. Latest technologies. Laser beams bring stone to life at the Sound and Light Show in Giza
