Kmt or Kemet does translate roughly to "land of the blacks".

The term Kemet when translated to "land of the blacks" refers to the physical properties of the people of that land, hence the name. Although I have never heard of the afterlife refered to as "the black land" it undoubtably is a spiritual afterlife, one not dealing with a physical appearance. The Kemetic civilization was one heavily intertwined with nature. An example of this is that all temples were built on the eastern banks of the nile, while all tombs were built on the western shores. This is because the sun (which has many symbolic meanings both on a spiritual and mystery system level), rises in the east, and it sets in the west. The sun was the life giver, as well as the light bringer, light is symbolic to life and knowledge, as well as other things. The sun when put into a human perspective was born in the east each day, and died in the west each day, only to be resurrected, much like the resurrection of Osiris, the next day in the east again. Hence why temples where intiates where taught, gods were worshipped, and people lived, were on the eastern banks of the nile, while the tombs of the dead were on the west , in the "dark land" per-se. This is just a small fraction of the meaning, and philosophy, I would have to get heavily into the mystery system, more heavily than most here would want to bring more clarity. However if you wish, I will, but thats an entirely different topic as well.
Peace and Blessings
