Detailed explanation-1: -The word, kmt (in today"s written form"Kemet, Kemit, Khemit, Kamit, or Khamit)–in the Ancient Egyptian language is translated to mean “black, ‘’ “land of the blacks, ‘’ or “the black land.” Khem (also, Chem) is the Egyptian word for black.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ‘black land’ was the fertile land on the banks of the Nile. The ancient Egyptians used this land for growing their crops. This was the only land in ancient Egypt that could be farmed because a layer of rich, black silt was deposited there every year after the Nile flooded.

Detailed explanation-3: -Kemet is an approximated pronunciation, the newly hypothesized pronunciation is actually “kumat”. Likely coming from two words, “kumm” (black), and something close to “mat” to mean land or earth. It’s very likely that “mat” was simply another word to mean “land”.

Detailed explanation-4: -In ancient times, the Egyptians called the desert the “red land", distinguishing it from the flood plain around the Nile River, called the “black land". These colours reflect the fact that the desert sands have a reddish hue and the land around the Nile turned black when the annual flood waters receded.
