"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, and not crocodile scales [a false claim made in Eurocentric circles]."
