## **2425 BC - EVE OF THE *`ABZU* COLLAPSE**

### 2441-2439 BC - Travels of Yaphet

Couillard indicates 2441 BC for the year Yaphet travelled from Aratta to the site of Antioch, where he established Yawana for his son Yawan, from there he would have set his other sons Tiras in Tyre and Tobel in Yapha. After 2 years, in 2439 BC, he sailed to Greece, or more likely the Aegean where he presumably interceded for Yawan to possess some of the disputed islands, and not for Gomer as Couillard's text has confused it. Next Yaphet visited Magogia and help establish Riphath Gomeri in his neighboring inheritance in the Urals. We know from *Defloratio* that Yaphet later went on to Africa (probably the Atlas Mts) and 'Atalaa' or Atelon, ie. North America or Moshakia. Any subsequent journeys are unknown for him, but the Amazon Queen Myrina who appears in Libya some 300 years later has been called the daughter of Yaphet.

### 2437 BC - Voyage of Khem

In 2437 BC, on the basis of Couillard's chronography, Khem himself made an early expedition by sea to the site of Alexandria (Raqodes) where he left some colonists. The name may possibly combine the antediluvian sun deity Ra with the common Semitic word for holy, reflecting the old pre-flood Egyptian language or Ernitawy still being imperfectly known at this point.

As this voyage was still about 13 years before the fall of the *Abzu* and the dispersion of peoples, it must be assumed that the main body of Khemites remained where they were located until the dispersion in 2424 BC before entering the Levant *en route* overland to the Nile.

### 2436-2428 BC - Eskutes teaches Scythianism

Couillard indicates that in these very years, "The Monarch" of "Armenia" gave instructions in his laws and teachings. While his text indicates "The Monarch" to refer (in his understanding) to Noah, it seems more probable that the actual monarch of Aratta-Saga by this time was King Scytha or Eskutes, son of Araxa and apparently Kush, for whom the worldview known as Scythianism is named. His brother Sebta Saga was the High Priest, pope or Saturn. Noh had already given his instructions much earlier as noted by *Kufale*, and had departed for Kittim or Italy by this time.

### 2425 BC - Writing system

In this year, indicated by Couillard, a writing system of 16 letters was invented by the monarch of Armenia, who would be Scytha, though the date also fits roughly with the Sumerian account of Enmerkar inventing proto-cuneiform glyphs around this time to send a threatening message to the Lord of Aratta (ie Scytha, his brother). This is a year before the collapse of the *abzu*, the final confusion of language, and the dispersion. The human population at this time before the dispersion was about 700,000 per *Bib. Ant.* Perhaps the tribe of Madai had by this time joined with Aratta Saga under king Scytha, forming what would become Scythia.
