planned (fig. 2). The Shemites 15 were the descendants of
Shem, traveling west speaking Hebrew. The Hamites
traveled south into Africa and became the Egyptians
speaking Egyptian. The Japhethites traveled north
becoming the Sumerians 16 , probably a sub-group of the
Scythians 17 , speaking Sumerian. In Genesis 10 we find the
"table of nations", a record of the scattering of the
descendants of the sons of Noah.
15 The Shemites (aslo called Semites) are the Hebrews. Later cultures,
such as the Phonecians, Canaanites, Akkadians, Moabites, Amonites
and Arameans sprouted out of the Hebrews and are also part of the
Shemitic family.
16 The land of the Sumerians was known as Sumer, which is Shinar in
the Bible (Genesis 10.10) also known as Babylonia. It is believed that
the Japhethites traveled north the Black and Caspian seas and are the
ancestors of the Sumerians. See Unger, "Scythian," 987 and
