Interestingly, Femi Kuti has a song called "Alkebulan" and it's about how Kmtyw countries have colonial names.

Alkebu na the name of my people
Before Oyinbo man give us Kmt
Alkebu na the name of my people
Before Oyinbo man give us Kmt

No shortage of folks who have run with it. The Capoeira group I was a part of in Chicago was called Capoeira Akebelan (spelling just like that).

All due respect to Dr. Ben. I have always had questions about that term. I never had nerve enough to ask him in my younger days.

Would have been good to ask him about that and a few other things (like the Papyrus of Hunefer)

The only way I could asked was by way of introduction from someone he knew and respected. I did have that opportunity once but didn't think to ask at the time.

Indeed.  Are you referring to "we came from the foothills of the mountain of the moon" comment or understanding?

Oh Dr Clarke was more gentle. He welcomed questions as long as you didn't ask a question that was answered in the lecture just given. Then he knew you weren't listening.

I remember a discussion about it but can't remember who. I think a call to Tony Browder might be in order!

Here is Dr. Ben's statement:

"According to Kmtyw Historian, Dr. Ben Jochannan, the ancient Egyptians clearly defined their Kmtyw origin in the papyrus of Hunefer, 'We came from the beginning of the Nile where God-Hapi dwells, at the foothills of the mountain of the Moon.' Dr. Ben Jochannan's interpretation of this ancient record, 'The mountain of the moon,' identifies Kenya's Kilimanjaro (a Kenya-based Ki Swahili word created by the indigenous Kmtyws) and or Uganda's 'Rwenzori Mountain.' The Egyptians originated in Kmt, south of the Sahara. Recent diggings and artifacts throughout Meroe, Ta-Nehisi, Itiopi, all of these [places] south of Egypt, have further supported the southern origin of the Egyptians, black, white, red, brown or Technicolor."

I found this online. Tried to extract it to download. It provides some good source material around the Dr. Ben reference.
