She was also the mother of Amenhotep (I) Djeserkare, who ruled from 1525 to 1504 BCE. It was in the latter capacity as the King's Mother that she was made a goddess. The relief is of interest of course because her skin is painted black rather than the usual brown. The word Kemet literally means the Black land.Jul 24, 2016

the black land
Prior to Europe's involvement with Egypt, the people of Ancient Egypt had many names for their country such as 'Ta Mery' (the beloved land), 'Ta Sety' (the land of the bow) which was used for the southern most regions of the country and Nubia (see below). Another name was 'Kemet', which means 'the black land'.
