## 2416 BC - **THE DISPERSION BEGINS** - MAIN EVENTS

### 2424 BC - Collapse of the *`Abzu*; settlement of Sweonia and Gethika

Before the Great Deluge of 2755 BC, the major languages had been 'Adami (Proto-*Ge'ez* or Proto-Semitic) spoken by Sethites, and 'ErniTawy (Ancient Egyptian) spoken by Cainites. The family of Noh, being Sethite, used mostly 'Adami, but the 3 wives of his 3 sons, Shem, Kham and Yaphet, would have known 'ErniTawy as their first language. There was no standard vocabulary, and as families and tribes of Semiti, Khemeti and Yapheti multiplied, so did their dialects, with only few preserving knowledge of correct grammar for any language. Since the tower of Babili had been begun in 2467 BC, this lack of any standard and resultant linguistic diversity had grown so acute that Semiti, Khemeti and Yapheti tribes were having increasing difficulty communicating. Meaning to remedy this, Nemrot Kashron in 2443 BC had a new artificial language, 'Emegir (Sumerian), constructed as a standard vocabulary for the builders in Sena'ar, now known as KiEngir, over which he was now known as LuGal Nemrokar (Enmerkar).

However, this act mostly failed to reduce the confusion arising from the multiplicity of languages and dialects, and his prayers of ever reestablishing any linguistic unity had become a lost cause by the time the tower of Babili, then known as the ziggurat *`Abzu* of 'Eridu, ultimately collapsed during a cyclone in 2424 BC.

Also in 2424 BC, Chiefs Swenno and Gothar Magogi, sons of Magog Yapheti, settled with their respective families or tribes across the Baltic Sea in Sweonia and Gethika, now in Sweden. (*Kuf., Enmerkar & The Lord of Aratta, Magnus*)

### 2421 BC - Founding of Khal Shusen

In the aftermath of the *`Abzu* collapse, the site of 'Eridu was largely abandoned, and LuGal Nemrokar's practical authority only extended over 'Uruk and 'Akkad, with Khanigalbat also remaining tributary to him. Kur KishKi began to assert itself as the successor to 'Eridu under its "Shepherd" - Sipad 'Etana, possibly a brother of Nemrokar. The region southwest of the Euphrates had been bequeathed to 'Arpagsad Semiti since 2494 BC, and his offspring had begun spreading southward, with the tribe of Kesdim under Kesed along the south bank accepting LuGal NemroKar's overlordship. East of KiEngir beyond the Tigris was the region originally bequeathed to Khaltam (Elam), and by 2421 BC, after three years, a city and province, Khal Shusen (Susiana) had been founded nearby in the name of his son, Shusen Khaltami. Asserting their independence, they also standardized their own speech and glyphs, in distinction to that promoted by Nemrokar. BarWein, Noah's fourth son, also moved to Khal Shusen and assisted them. (*Kuf.*, *SKL*; cf. *Ps.-Method.*)

### 2417 BC - Khemeti depart for 'Afra; Wall of NemroKar

In 2494 BC, Khem and his four sons had been bequeathed land west of the Giyon (Nile), including 'Afra Territory (most of Africa). Along with the other peoples, they set out from their previous settlements for their inheritances following the collapse of the *`Abzu*. However, after the Khemeti tribes began to arrive in Lebanon *en route* to the Giyon, those of Kene'an Khemeti, whose inheritance lay beyond the Atlantic, refused to continue farther and began to occupy the land, part of 'Arpagsad Shem's allotment, in violation of the agreed partitions, while the other Khemeti continued on toward the Giyon.

Two Yapheti tribes had also taken up temporary abode on the coast in this area, but only in preparation for emigration to Europe. Tobel Yapheti had occupied the region around Yapha city (founded by Yaphet himself c. 2443 BC). Tobel would stay there until 2412 BC before departing for his allotment. The tribe of Tiras Yapheti however, lingered at Tir (Tyre), named for him, another 60 years until 2352 BC when they finally set sail, not for their allotted large islands (apparently Greenland, Iceland, and the two British Isles) but rather for the mouth of the river Turas (Dniester), beginning another city called Turas, and the beginnings of the Thraki (Thracians). Their association with the Kene'ani may also be seen in the tradition of al-Tabari, that Kene'an himself wed 'Arsal Batawil, granddaughter of Tiras, while her sisters had married Kush and Futh; in addition, the Kene'ani tribes of Khemathi and 'Arqadi would migrate concurrently with Tiras in 2352 BC, to Khemathia and 'Arkhadea (Aigealea) respectively.

Just fifty years after LuGal Nemrokar, as Nemrot Kashron, had first begun the tower of Babili project, ie. in c. 2417 BC, he found it necessary to construct a wall intended to keep the 'Amoriti or Mar-tu tribe of Mat Kene'an out of his realms in Kur Khanigalbat, Kur KiUri, and KiEngi (aka Nakharaim,'Akkad and Sena'ar). (*Kuf.; Deflor.; Al-Tabari; Lugalbanda and the Anzu Bird*)

2416 BC may be when Asshur founded Nineveh (as mentioned in Gen. 10), this date being calculated from Couillard's chronology.
