Egypt (Egyptian: km.t ; Coptic: Ⲭⲏⲙⲓ Kīmi ; Arabic: مصر Miṣr ; Egyptian Arabic: Máṣr); officially: جمهورية مصر العربية Gumhūriyyat Miṣr al-ʿArabiyyah [Arab Republic of Egypt] ranks amongst the most populous countries in Africa, with an estimated population of 78 million people, the vast majority of whom live near the fertile banks of the nile. Egypt itserlf covers an area of some 1 million square kilometers and includes the Sinai Peninsula, a land bridge to Asia. It borders the Mediterranean sea to the North and the Red Sea to the East. Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and some of the world's most famous monuments, including the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx; the southern city of Luxor contains a particularly large number of ancient artifacts such as the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. Today, Egypt is widely regarded as an important political and cultural centre of the Middle East. One of the ancient Egyptian names for Egypt is km.t, or "black land"; a name derived from the fertile soil deposited by the Nile duiring its floods. Miṣr, the Arabic and modern official name of Egypt (Egyptian Arabic: Maṣr), is of Semitic origin, directly cognate with other Semitic words for Egypt such as the Hebrew מִצְרַיִם (Mitzráyim), literally meaning "the two straits" (a reference to the dynastic separation of upper and lower Egypt). The English name derives, via the Latin Aeguptus from the ancient Greek word Αίγυπτος (Aigyptos). The term was adopted into Coptic as gyptios, and from there into Arabic as qubt (whence again English Copt). Egyptians form by far the largest ethnic group in the country (97–98%) with ethnic minorities that included the Bedouin Arab tribes living in the eastern deserts and the Sinai Peninsula, the Berber-speaking Siwis (Amazigh) of the Siwa Oasis, and the ancient Nubian communities clustered along the Nile. Egyptian cuisine is very diverse, reflecting the country's long history and it's position as the bridge between Africa and Arabia. The fertile plains of the Nile made Egypt a major producer of grains and grains, beans (especially broad beans), fruit and fish have long been staples of the diet. Meat is traditionally a luxury, used in small amounts and honey is the traditional source of sweetness and is still used in many Egyptian desserts. |
