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.

Egypt has a significant history during the Islamic period, including the Fatimids, Mamluks, and under Muhammad Ali; yet none of this is summarized in the lede; is there a reason why 12 centuries are not summarized in not even a word in the lede?

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.
