okay, but you need to delve more deeply into the etymology, but i sense you were just using the generalized concepts so no biggie.

Akebulan is the word that you're looking for but africa and ethiopia are greek words eventhough ethiopia predates africa as a word used to describe ppls from the land we know call africa.

kmt is the word used by ancient egyptians to describe themselves
