What was the Ancient Egyptians name for Egypt in their own language? Did they have a separate name?

I personally found the documentary to be very entertaining and interesting, but I wanted to see what the experts here at /r/askhistorians thought of it.

Not sure I need more than the title here, but I'm just wondering to what extent it's viewed as a reliable secondary source, what critiques there are of it, what new revelations have come to light since its publication, whether it's recommended, etc.

Pompey is said to have made clients out of entire kingdoms during his campaigns in the East after defeating Mithridates. If Pompey's power base was so large in the East, why would he choose to flee to Egypt after losing to Caesar at Pharsalus? Why not Syria or the Province of Asia? Since Egypt was still technically independent from Rome and I have never heard it mentioned that Ptolemy XIII owed his position to Pompey, I am assuming that Pompey had much stronger hopes of asylum and much stronger bases of power to reorganize resistance from elsewhere in the East.

Many were murdered or over thrown, some died natural deaths.

Did any retire from or resign from the position?

Hello! Recently i was reading in Wikipedia about the Bulgaria - Serbia relations and I tried to figure out why were they so bad. I'm not asking for opinions, I want to know which country historically is to blame for these relations, which country was acting worst against the other and why relations became this bad? I know, I said i've read about it, but Wikipedia still doesn't make some things clear. Thanks in advance!

Why was China not conquered and incorporated into the islamic world like India?

A friend of mine tells me that every culture has a myth about the great flood that wipes out the entire world. To me it seems obvious that since they only had access to their local area, and since at some point throughout history most local areas will flood, we would have no way to tell if they were really talking about the same floods or not. If there was no great flood that wiped out the whole world, which he thinks happened when the Ice Age melted 10,000 years ago, I still think it would be likely that most cultures would come up with a flood myth.

But to start with does every culture, every major culture I suppose, have a flood myth?

When I was a senior in high-] school, I attended a sociology survey class at a nearby university. The professor was covering the American Indian wars and stressed how barbaric the US military and civilians were towards the indigenous tribes. While I've always been very symptomatic towards their demise (I cried when I read "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" at 11 years old), I didn't think he was treating the subject with nuance. I raised my hand and said something like "Both sides committed acts of barbarism on each others' population. For example, what about the Native American practice of scalping?" He got dark red in face and proceeded to verbally dress me down, saying that the French fur traders were the ones to introduce the practice of scalping. I just shrunk into my seat and didn't question him. Nearly 10 years later, something reminded me of it...

What are the best resources to study the economics, politics, wars and tribal issues in the 6th-7th century Middle East (Specially the current Saudi Arabia Region)

From what I understand, early colonists brought back coco leaves from Peru and cannabis, so why was it that tobacco became the most common leaf to be smoked?

If I'm not mistaken they had to skip a couple of days somewhere around 1500 because they had been wrong for ages. But since when did they know a year takes approximately 365 days and how did they discover it?

The New Testament was written in a dialect of Greek, right? But Christianity spread through Latin Europe via Latin speakers. So did multiple people have to translate it from Greek to Latin independently of each other, or was there a single accepted translation that almost everyone used? If the former, did major differences in translation exist, and did these cause theological disputes?

How many years (roughly) while still recognizing the difference (upwards swing) in demand after the US soldiers returned home.

Seems like we've been "best buds" for a loooong time, yet we fought a fairly bloody war against each other. Were Americans bitter toward the Brits after the war, or vice versa?

I understand the Ancient Greek origins of the Olympic flame but I'm reading the Boys in the Boat and it says in here that it was Joseph Goebbel's idea to do the torch relay from Olympia to Berlin. Is this the first instance of this happening in the modern Olympics?

On the Bayeaux Tapestry they are depicted in mail with conical helmets but this seems unlikely to me, similar to 15th Century images of longbowmen in full plate armour. Would they have been largely unarmoured given the expense of manufacturing mail in the 11th century?

In the article I read, it stated this paved the way for European expansion in the area. I've been unable to find anything on this since. I also don't remember where I read it.
