Kemet (Egypt)

The land of great kings and great history located in the North-west of Africa.

Since the very beginning of archeology no country has fascinated the world as much as Egypt. And even before that the ancient wonders of this land between inhospitable desert and the abundantly fruitful Nile valley have been the source of legend and myth. However, there is still no unison in the perception of ancient Egypt among academics.

The ancient Egyptians' name of their land is Kemet, the Black Land, derived from the rich dark soil of the Nile valley.
...
Then the Nile valley was invaded and the rule over Egypt was taken over by a foreign élite whose origins lay in the lowlands of Mesopotamia.
