[edit] Japhet = white people
For no other son of Noah is this considered so lets not confuse people
Who cares? :/ ---kim
Arabs are Caucasians and they are Shemitic, Shem is the father of Caucasians, Japheth of Mongolians, and Ham of Negroids and Australoids. 71.89.6.90 03:34, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Map Problem
Can somebody find or make a correctly orientated map for this article? The T&O map is meant to be rotated 90° clockwise. Notice how at the top of the map the word oriens can be seen. This is derivitive of Latin and means "east" (the map looking like it is Latin script). Also upon rotating 90° clockwise, the continents are geographically correct.
--- That's only a problem if you assume north has to be up. There's no reason why a medieval cartographer couldn't have made a map with east up. Also, if you rotate it 90 degrees, it's no longer a T&O map.
[edit] "Isles of the Gentiles"
Can someone provide a cite for this? I don't see it in Genesis 10. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.103.197.157 (talk) 15:51, 11 May 2007 (UTC).
Perhaps I can be of some assistance. If you read Genesis 10:1-5 you will probably understand it better. After the geneology of Japheth,and his generations (decendants. you will come to verse 5 which states, and I quote: "By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations"
This is stating that the decendants of Japheth all migrated to the Isles, or the location which we know today to be the Isles of Europe. Europeans were called, Japhetic, properly pronounced "Yahphetic) and later called Europeans. I hope this was of some help to you.
