==Behind the scenes==
In reality, the ancient name of Egypt was Kūmat (simplified Kemet) and meant "black one". Khemennu is the simplified pronunciation of Khamānau, the Egyptian name of the town Hermopolis and means "Eight-town". Neither of these names mean "Land of the Moon".
By coincidence or not, there is a recent (2006) New Age music album with the title Khemennu: Land of the Moon.
