Let’s start with the word Egypt. Is ‘Egypt’ the original name for the country of the river Nile? Actually it is not.
You will be amazed by the multiple appellations for the ancient land of the Nile Valley, scholars of Ancient Egyptian history will provide you when you ask the question. They say that ancient Egypt was once called KMT, but then again they would add that appellations like, Tawy/Ta3wy and Tomry/Ta-Mert were not uncommon.
According to orthodox Egyptology, Egypt in the remote past and during the pre-dynastic era was called kmt/Kemet (Black Land). After the unification of upper and Lower Egypt and with the start of the dynastic era 3150 BC, the country name changed to hwt-ka-Ptah (House of the spirit of Ptah) as ‘Ptah’ was one of the creator gods in ancient Egypt. Since the Greek couldn’t pronounce it, we are told, they morphed it into ‘Aegyptos/Aegyptus’ and this is the source of the name ‘Egypt’ by which the land of the Pyramids is known around the world till now. But I argue differently as we believe the orthodox interpretation of this issue is somehow mistaken.
Ancient Egypt continued as a United Kingdom for uninterrupted 3 millennia, not to mention another two millennia in the making. During that awfully long period the country’s cultural, spiritual and even artistic values and standards remained ageless and unchanging. We argue that a country with such respect for stability couldn’t by any means have entertained the idea of changing its name.
Besides Hwt Ka Ptah is obviously linked to Ptah, the creator god whose cult dominated politically at the beginning of the old kingdom, but soon it was overshadowed by other creator gods like Ra and Amun. It makes no sense that Hwt Ka Ptah managed to keep its prominence as the country’s name while the cult center of Ptah didn’t. Not to mention that clumsily bending Hwt Ka Ptah into Aegyptos by orthodox Egyptologists is totally unconvincing. As for ‘Kmt’ it is obvious that it is phonetically inconsistent with the word ‘Egypt’, unless it is twisted into ‘Gept’ as professed by some Egyptologists. To cut a long story short, and according to the Ancient esoteric culture and tradition, Ancient Egypt was called “Copt/Copto/Gopt” by its own native people and kings.
