Kmt - The Black Land || A Look at Kmt’s Culture and its Influence on the World

The Ancient Kmtyw (Egyptians) called their country Kmt (Kemet), literally the "Black Land" (kem meant "black" in ancient Kmt). In Kemet, black was associated with the night, with the Afterlife, and also with resurrection and rebirth. Black was also associated with fertility, we believe because it was the colour of the fertile soil that was deposited after the annual flooding of the River Nile.
