Ancient Egyptians called their lands "Kemet" which roughly translates to "The Black Land".
The Ancient Egyptians referred to themselves as "Kemet" or "Kemetic," which means "black land" in reference to the fertile black soil along the Nile River. This term distinguished them from neighboring civilizations and highlighted the importance of the Nile in their lives. The Ancient Egyptians also referred to their land as "Ta-Meri," which means "beloved land" or "land of the friend."
Well, at the moment, the controversy about people claiming that the Ancient Egyptians were black which is false, is why some people may think that the Egyptians called their country the black land. But that is not the reason, as they were not black. The Ancient Egyptians called their land Kemet, which means black land. The soil at the banks of Nile was very dark in colour, and the soil was of great importance, since the country was mostly desert. Because the soil was dark, the Ancient Egyptians thought of their country as a dark, or black land, because of the land colour around the river.

It actually means 'Land of the Black Faces."KMT -- It actually means 'Black Land" meaning fertile. KMTians were a Name for what we now call Ancient Egyptians (Greekword Aegyptos). KMT denotes the color of the land not the skin.Some opine that KMT meant "Land of Ham." This debate falls on the information that Ham, who was one of the three sons of Noah and the direct ancestor of the Egyptians, was black. This debate would say KMT is a derivative of the word "Khem" (Cham or Ham).
Yes. In Ancient Egypt, there were 2 main types of land - Kemet and deshret. Kemet means soil or 'black land'. Kemet is used for irrigation Deshret means red land or desert (sand)
it is the kemet
Kemet means "black land," and Deshret means "red land." Kemet refers to the land that is flooded every year by the Nile, giving it vital nutrients and a dark color. Deshret is the desert, which is red obviously.
