The 'black land' called 'kemet' (kmt) was originally the name of of Egypt. It now refers to 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. The term "kemet" is often termed to mean "black land" though sometimes is seen as a racist word for in Greek, it means "black faces."
