This article says: "In Greek mythology, Aegyptus, or Aigýptos ("supine goat") was the king of Egypt (which took its name from him)"

But the article List of country name etymologies says: "Egypt: "temple of the soul of Ptah"

Encyclopaedias should not give flatly contradictory statements about matters of fact. Does anyone care to arbitrate this question? Adam 01:43, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Egypt is called Mestraim by the Hebrews; and Mestraim lived not long after the flood. For after the flood, Cham (or Ham), son of Noah, begat Aeguptos or Mestraim, who was the first to set out to establish himself in Egypt, at the time when the tribes began to disperse this way and that...Mestraim was indeed the founder of the Egyptian race; and from him the first Egyptian Dynasty must be held to spring.8

The entire article (as of 1/3/2022) had no dates listed. Odd. Without dates, the article is more than speculation but unscientific, illogical, and not truly worthy of inclusion into an academic document, encyclopedia. I don't know the dates so unable to improve, but clearly, there have to be editors that have dates, otherwise, the article should be listed under Mythology. But even myths often have start dates or "circa" phrase could be utilized. 2603:7000:9F03:1E45:E095:2263:1F34:2FAD (talk) 14:39, 3 January 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
