One researcher told me that the name goes back to ancient Egypt. I would like to know about this, if possible. I was thinking, Ramey The Great? Valley of the Rameys? Is the head on the Sphinx actually the image of an ancient Ramey? Does the Curse of King Tut's Tomb apply to Rameys as well? Was Queen Cleopatra actually bitten by a Ramey? There are all kinds of possibilities here. Some people think that the Ancient Egyptians were actually from the stars. Was the first Ramey a space man? Did he go where no Ramey has ever gone before? If Black Holes are so powerful that they can bend light, can they bend Rameys too? Help me here, I'm getting carried away. Can anyone tell me the origins of the name?
