Yes The oldest Egyptians were Ethiopian people. They inhabited the upper Nile region all the way to Ethiopia, for many centuries. They were the first and second kingdom of Egyptians and were the builders of the Sphinx, and the smaller pyramids in Egypt. (The Great Pyramid was built much later, but in the same manner that the smaller ones were built.) Smaller pyramids can also be found today, in Ethiopia. Ethiopians left Egypt, after being invaded by Arabs, and other Middle Eastern tribes. (These Arabs and Middle Eastern people make up the Egyptian people that we see today. ) After the invasion, Ethiopians concentrated more heavily in Ethiopia. However, they still had business transactions with the newer Egyptian population, and with people in various parts of the Middle East, India, and other parts of North Africa. If any one doubts that ancient Egyptians were in fact Ethiopians, all one needs to do is look at the drawn pictures of the Egyptians on the walls of tombs, papyrus scrolls, etc. See the large dark eyes, straight noses, brown complexions (copper, bronze, chocolate skin tones), long wavy or straight hair, long limbs, long necks. These are all traditional Ethiopian features, that are seen in ancient Ethiopian art as well. However, the belief that ancient Egyptians were Ethiopians is debated. But one thing for certain is that both Ancient Egyptians and ancient Ethiopians shared a common ancestor. This ancestor is Ham (Noah's son in The Bible)! Ham is believed by many cultures (African, Asian, and European) to be the father of all African peoples! Meaning that it could have been possible that the ancient Egyptians and Ethiopians could have looked similar because they were part of the same family. Ethiopians were descended from Ham, their branch was called Cush. The Cushitic tribe consists of the Ethiopians, Somalis, Eritreans, Dravidians, Sumerians, Babylonians, and Nubians. All of these people have firmly established ancient histories ! The Egyptians were descendants of Ham, branch Mizraim, who were also related to the Philistines, and Khemets. Other Ham descendants (people of African origin ) include the Libyans, Tunisians, and Phoenicians, and Canaanites (now beleived by some Biblical scholars to have been established in Central Africa and West Africa). Long story short, it is a strong possibility that Ancient Egyptians could have been Ethiopian. But if they were not then, then at the very least the ancient Egyptians were cousins of the Ethiopians. The modern day Egyptians of Arab descent are not descendants of Ham and are not related to either the Ethiopians of today or the ancient Egyptians.

Why did ancient Egyptians call their country the black land?
Well, at the moment, the controversy about people claiming that the Ancient Egyptians were black which is false, is why some people may think that the Egyptians called their country the black land. But that is not the reason, as they were not black. The Ancient Egyptians called their land Kemet, which means black land. The soil at the banks of Nile was very dark in colour, and the soil was of great importance, since the country was mostly desert. Because the soil was dark, the Ancient Egyptians thought of their country as a dark, or black land, because of the land colour around the river.
