Ancient Egypt is commonly referred to as 'km.t' , believed to be a reference to the black Nile Delta earth (more commonly known as the black land), as opposed to Deshret, the red barren desert land. The name Egypt was used accidentally by the Greeks after mistaking the Second name of the City of Thebes, "Aigyptos" for the country.
