Self-delusion
A most common evasion of a Black Ancient Egypt begins with "Some claim that Kemet means
black people". The key word in this first statement is "claim" which is a synonym
for "believe", which seeks to place a human language in the same category as
religion. One can believe in or not believe in God, that's one thing; but you don't
believe that "veni" in Latin means "I came"; you either KNOW it or you don't.
However, this delusion leads to one that has been fabricated by the distorters of
Egyptology, particularly aimed at those who are gullible enough to believe that
the Ancient Egyptians had only a single noun meaning in which to describe themselves
and their nation...
Assisted delusion
"The Egyptians called their country "Kmt" or "Kemet" which means "Black" after
the color of the soil."
This is simply an absolute lie. There is nothing in the grammar, even if one were to
use an electron microscope to search for an example, that the soil or earth had any
connection with the usage of this word. The only references to the soil in the names
of Ancient Egypt were the names "TaMeri and TaMere"; "Ta" meaning "earth, land, etc."
This mantra is almost always repeated to "inform" the reader of why the word "Black"
for Egypt and Egyptians was used, and probably using the age old philosophy that if
you repeat a lie often enough, and long enough, it soon becomes accepted as the truth.
NOT if one knows better...
