Talk:Egypt

Ignored Linear B, A name
The article only mentions the supposed origin for copt (it seems to have been originally for a cat), however the older attestation for Misr in that text from the same region is ignored a Linear B tablet also has Misr in it. d mi-sa-ra-jo (Misraios, also etymologically ‘man of Egypt’ [MiÒr] (KN F 841.4) (cf. SHELMERDINE 2008, §5.4.2.2, BENNET, J. 1985, The Structure of the Linear B Administration at Knossos, AJA 89, 231-49), not to mention it is likely older "(misr), more commonly found in Akkadian and Ugaritic documents from Syro-Palestine and Mesopotamia (Cline 1993: 18). Mis-sa-ra-jo appears on Knossos tablet KN F 841+867, possibly used as a man’s name, which Cline believes was meant to be pronounced as Misraios (Cline 1994: 128).

And undounbtedly older still its attestation as Misr in Linear A (CH # 333, A1) (Best & Woudhuizen 1988: 50-51; most recently and comprehensively Achterberge.a. 2004: 104; Landau 1958: 270. Cf. Luwian hieroglyphic Mizra “Egypt” (Karkamis A6, § 4), see Woudhuizen 2015a: 280 and the composite personal name Mizramuwas) in the oldest dated Minoan Tablet.

Change The Capital From Cairo to New Administrative Capital, From Today Officially the New Administrative Capital is the capital of Egypt 41.233.136.2 (talk) 01:38, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. I have not found any announcement that the capital has now been shifted, not even old sources that project the capital to be shifted today. Liu1126 (talk) 12:28, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It's likely to take a while for the NAC to finish being built. No need to update the capital until the seat of government truly moves. And even then, NAC is a suburb of Cairo and there will still be some government in central Cairo anyway.ItsRainingCatsAndDogsAndMen (talk) 14:43, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Trade route
Was Egypt ever a serious traderoute before the Suez Canal was built? --95.24.74.137 (talk) 08:51, 16 May 2024 (UTC)


 * The modern Suez Canal was not the way to cross. In ancient times, boats would be greased up and slid across the desert. I'm not sure if this information should be included in the article, but you can find stuff abou this in the Suez Canal article.ItsRainingCatsAndDogsAndMen (talk) 14:41, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
