What's the REAL Story Behind EGYPT'S Name?

The current English name “Egypt” originated from the ancient Greek word Aἴγυπτoς (Aigyptos).
The Ancient Egyptians used the word k-m-t or kemet to refer to their own land.
This name holds a reference to the black and fertile soils that are lying in the Nile floodplains.
But outsiders, non-Egyptians, had other names in referring to this land. The Canaanites, Hebrews, and Arabs, for example, used variants of Misr or Mitsraim.
The English word “Egypt” comes from the Greek (Aigyptos), which is believed to derive from the Middle Egyptian ḥwt-ka-ptah, which means “House of the Soul of Ptah.”
Ptah is the God of Memphis in ancient Egyptian mythology. He was believed to be the creator God of the world, who created the world and everything in it by his word.
Also the Greek word Aἴγυπτoς (Aigyptos) is the source for the name “Copt.”
Thus, from the Greek name , most world languages used this name, in variant derivative forms, to refer to this land.

I riferimenti dei nomi, e la loro fonetica sono importantissimi per fare i giusti collegamenti ...se gli stranieri chiamavano l'Egitto "casa dell'anima di Ptah", significa che gli stranieri vedevano il fiume Nilo come un flusso generatore di vita, e la divinità di Ptah era quella più importante che svolgeva questa funzione ...il suo "KA", è certamente il suo liquido seminale .
Il nome "mitzrayim", non è assolutamente da collegare al nome "matzor" che significa "tumulo" o "fortezza", ma trova corrispondenza nel nome sardo "MITZA", che significa FONTE, SORGENTE d'acqua.

Here (Iran) Some believe that the name of Egypt is derived from the name of Mithra or Mithra in the Avestan texts of Mithra (میثره =مصر)
And that the pharaohs of Egypt were Iranian (Aryan), this is also said by Arabs like Ali Damad Muhammad Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam, to what is the truth. 🤷

"According to the most trusted egyptologist ". Here lies the first problem . The assumed authority, who coincidentally are all of European in origin. The land always represented the indigenous ppl of that land . Thus, Kemet = Black soil, which = Black ppl . Now we have Black soil occupied by non indigenous White ppl who intrinsically have no connection to the land / Black soil . English-French all White Europeans. Europeans have Nothing to do with the civilization and dynasties of Kemet, which, by the way, is of Africa . In other words, civilization did not start with the Caucasian.
