[Tracking Noah's Descendants] The Countries of The Ancient World Exhibiting The Probable Settlement of the Descendants of Noah . . .

This is an interesting map of the ancient world showing the spread of Noah's descendants. Known in biblical scholarship as the Generations of Noah, the sons of Noah were supposed to have spread out to different corners of the world to repopulate the earth. The three direct sons of Noah each spread out in a different direction, where they then divided the land between their respective sons and grandsons. Many of these give rise to the biblical regions as they are now known, and are shown on this map.
