Nobody. Egypt as a geography has been there from the time of mythology. It's histories first world empire. and the story starts about 5000 years ago. If anybody "discovered" Egypt it would have to be a tribe of (Australopithecus-Homo erectus) early ancestors migrating from south and central Africa on there way to Asia.

A unified kingdom was founded circa 3150 BC by King Menes, giving rise to a series of dynasties that ruled Egypt for the next three millennia. Egyptians subsequently referred to their unified country as tAwy, meaning 'Two Lands'; and later km.t (Coptic: Kīmi), the 'Black Land', a reference to the fertile black soil deposited by the Nile river. Egyptian culture flourished during this long period and remained distinctively Egyptian in its religion, arts, language and customs. The first two ruling dynasties of a unified Egypt set the stage for the Old Kingdom period, c.2700−2200 BC., famous for its many pyramids, most notably the Third Dynasty pyramid of Djoser and the Fourth Dynasty Giza Pyramids.

I don't think anyone did. It's always been there, for ages. The French discovered the Rosetta stone, though, that allowed us to translate hieroglyphs. But, Egypt isn't like some lost civilization covered up by the rain forest, it's always been right where it is today.

Egypt has always been a great trade route from predynastic times. There have been beads from Afghanistan found in graves from the late Gezeran times.
So there was no requirement for "discovery" as all other civilisations knew of its existence and its high degree of civilisation through commerce and trade.
