"The Egyptians as they saw themselves
It is no waste of time to get the views of those principally concerned. How did the Ancient Egyptians see themselves? Into which ethnic category did they place themselves? What did they call themselves? The language and literature left to us by the Egyptians of the Pharaonic epoch supply explicit answers to these questions, which Eurocentric scholars can't refrain from twisting or 'interpreting'.
The Ancient Egyptians had only one term to designate themselves:
𓆎 𓀀 𓁐
𓏏 𓏦
= kmt = the black people (literally). This is the strongest term existing in the Pharaonic tongue to indicate blackness. It is accordingly written with a hieroglyph representing a length of wood charred at the end..."

The origin of Chemistry:
Doctors in Kmt studied the chemical properties of plant and mineral material and they documented the resulting effect when that material was systematically introduced to the chemistry of the human body. Their written descriptions for medicine are the oldest medicinal formulas on record, and they are still viable today. This shirt gives credit to Kmt's pioneering work in chemistry.
The origin of the Atom:
Conscious intelligent action is the source of all material creation, but consciousness itself is immaterial and has no form of its own. It's size can't be estimated, and it cannot be touched or divided. The name in Kmt for this immaterial source of creation, which is at the root of all material, is Atm.
This gives us the word atom by way of the Greeks that studied in Kmt. Chemistry is the study of the material atom, rather than the immaterial Atm studied in Kmt. The study of material in Kmt was called the study of Ra (energy).
The shirt has the original mdw "hieroglyph" Kmt next to a contemporary icon for an atom.

The origin of Nature:
Ntr, often pronounced Neter, is the generic word in Kmt for the Creator, which gives us the Latin word natura and the English word nature.
The shirt graphically expresses the three considerations: Oneness, duality, and the cyclical nature. Together, they precede the creation of order in life. Nature's order is also symbolized by the written dualizations embodying the central symbol. The central symbol expresses energy's property of being infinite, not created and unable to be destroyed.

The origin of Yin/Yang:
The shirt graphically expresses the three considerations: Oneness, duality, and the cyclical nature. Together, they precede the creation of order in life. In Kmt the duality was called Shu and Tefnut.
Shu, is the word in Kmt for what became known as Yang, and Tefnut, became known as Yin. The interaction of Shu and Tefnut create the cycles of nature's energy. The central symbol expresses energy's property of being infinite, not created and unable to be destroyed. Nature's order is also symbolized by the written dualizations embodying the central symbol.
