Shem 600 yrs - Semitic peoples: Elamites, Assyrians, early Chaldeans, the Hebrews, Syrians, various Arabian tribes. (middle eastern) (nov 8, 2468 BC – nov 8, 1868 BC)
Description:
Biblical and other historical evidence indicates that Shem was thus the progenitor of the Semitic peoples: the Elamites, the Assyrians, the early Chaldeans, the Hebrews, the Aramaeans (or Syrians), various Arabian tribes, and perhaps the Lydians of Asia Minor. This would mean that the population descended from Shem was concentrated principally in the southwestern corner of the Asiatic continent, extending throughout most of the Fertile Crescent and occupying a considerable portion of the Arabian Peninsula. - Insight BookAdded to timeline:
