The Greeks were the ones who dubbed it, "Egypt," which means, "The land of burnt faces."
Those who lived there, however, referred to their land as "Kemet," which means, "Land of the Blacks."For the Greeks it is highly likely that during their STAY, of which some academics might prefer to record them as "visits" (not me), they endured their share of sunburn.
In any case, consider an old lesson in education from the Sun Children (We'll get to the heart of the concept behind "education" later):
Why were Adam and Eve booted from the Garden?
Some would say it is because they disobeyed "God" (Yeah, we'll get to this concept, too); others might say that it is because God did not want Adam and Eve to know both good And evil, or even trust them, for that matter, with such knowledge. And They might be right.
What do the Children say? The Children say that God couldn't have cared less that they ate some fruit- albeit God might have been disappointed if It was looking to save some of the fruit for Itself (fruits are like 80% H2o anyway, I don't see why It would). But, why did Cain kill Able, why did the whole of humanity require the redemption of a "savior"?
The reason is that Adam and Eve took the fruit, KNOWING- especially after eating it, as the story goes- that they had done the wrong. Instead of confessing, apologizing, and accepting the consequences of their choice... they hid. They lied. They were exposed to themselves for their wrong, and instead of showing discipline in their realization, being ashamed, they lied. God was mad because they lied. "Cleanliness is close to Godliness/Discipline is close to Godliness."
Be clean.
In the order of Ma'at. Peace be on you,
Karast
