Tracing the Amorites migration from Hejaz to the Levant.
The western Semitic speaking Amorites sprung out Arabia in waves of tribal federations roaming the desert/semidesert region between the Euphrates in the west and the Mediterrianean sea in the East. They were restricted from Mesopotamia by their Eastern Semitic kinsmen, the Akkadians. The Amorites of the Nroth will settle the highlands and later fall under Hittie influence, after the fall of the Hittites they will emerge as the highlanders (Arameans). The Amorites of Western Canaan will establish the coastal Canaanite towns that will later evolve into Phoenicia and Philistia. The third group of the Amorites were the East Cannanites (lowlanders) concentrated along the Euphrates, mainly following the water and pasture in the midwest Euphrates region. The Meso-Akkadians regarded the Amorites as an uncivilized unproductive group because they didn't have a harvest they can loot or a town to sack to supply their growing empire. To them the Amorites were troublesome Nomadic shepherds a people with no submission and no house in a lifetime! The Amorites viewed the Akkadians as the oppressive imperial power that controlled their only source for survival; the Euphrates water and the needed pasture for their livestock. This Mesopotamian animosity between the Akkadians and Amorites will give birth to the Zodiac as we know it. THe Amorites marked their age with the fall of the Akkadian empire 2160BC (the Akkadian Bull) and the start of the Shepherds age (The Ram). At this point The Zodiac was still two ages and will later become divided into 12 astrological ages once the Amorites enter Babylon. By the 20th Century BC the Amoires were already established in mid-Mesopotamia and started sacking the Neo-Sumerian towns; eventually conquering Babylon, making it their capital in 1959BC. UR survived another 9 years, until it was taken by the Elamites. The Amorites established their authority as he absolute Arabian/Semitic dynasty by crushing the Elamites, starting the Old Babylonian Kingdom. Hammurabi receiving he laws from the sun god. With the death of Hammurabi The Kingdom disintegrated into smaller city states ruled by weak kings. Babylon proper survived for another 100 years. In 1659BC the technologically advanced Hitties conquered Babylon. 1659BC - 1648BC: After the fall of Babylon, the Amorite dialect disappeared from Babylon and was replaced by an Assyro-Akkadian dialect interrupting the gap between Old and Neo-Babylonian and clearly shows that the East-Canaanites disappeared from Mesopotamia. 1649BC: The Amorites conquered Egypt, starting the 15th dynasty. The Amorites will control Egypt for 108 years as the elite class in Egypt. The Amorite Hyksos ruled Egypt for 108 years. However, the Egyptian-born Amorites lacked what their Nomadic ancestors had three generations earlier. By the 1540s BC the East Canaanite Amorites (Hyksos) lost control of Egypt and sensed the danger of remaining in Egypt after the atrocities the first generation commited in Egypt, so they escaped to Sinai fleeing the angry Egyptians. The Hykso escape from Egypt is very similar to the later Judean biblical folkore (the Exodus). In Against Apion, the 1st century historian Josephus simply equates the ProtoHebrews with the Hyksos. In the three centuries between the Exodus and the appearance of the Hebrews. The Egyptians documented raids by Semitic tribes into Canaan. The Egyptians knew them as the HABIRU this group included the remains of the Hyksos and the Pre-Hyksos East Canaanites who remained in Souther Canaan. The Egyptian and Hittite Imperial powers will clash in Kadesh 1274BC The treaty of Kadesh was the beginning of the end of the Imperial influence in Canaan. The power vacuum of the 1200s in Canaan allowed the Phoenician and Philistinian Semitic cultures to flourish on their own. Taking advantage of the Egyptian absence, the Hebrews moved into Central Canaan pushing into the Egyptian protected Philistia.

Care to explain the origin of "Hyksos", but has no connection with the Armenians of the region whose self-name is "Hay" or many have the surname "hayk"? Their ancestors are from Central Asia but I'm sure Middle Eastern ancestry is common in Armenians. Just a theory based on the "Hay" (people) name hypothesis.+
There was no Armenia, Turkey or Iraq at that time. Armenians the modern Armenians of today associate themselves with the Indo-European speakers, genetically they are almost identical to their neighbors so I can't see Armenian traces linguistic or genetic...
Then a 2nd theory of the origin of Greeks, Romans, Albanians & southern Slavs of the Balkans was a group of Egyptians or Pelasgians from Asia minor not far from Syria, Palestine or Cyprus arrived in the Greek peninsula. They spoke either an Indo-European tongue, or are of West Semitic origins if you consider how much the Semites lived in western Arabia to the tip of Asia minor, & the "Sardonic" type in ethnography named for Sardinians off the Italic peninsula is thought to be Amorite or Roman.+
@devulboy1 the people of SE Europe had multi-origins but not Semitic, the E1b1b1a2-V13 people that are still big % in Alabnai & Greece spoke a language similar to modern Somali or Berber more than Semitic.
The J2a people spoke a language similar to Sumerian, J2b people played an important role in spreading Indo-European
Semitic speakers markers are J1e-P58 wherever you see J1e-P58 those are usually related to Semites.
lol wat do you know about my Somalian/ancient egyptian language klid.. the Af-Soomaali language is my native eastern-cush'itic language that can be found all the way from soputhern egypt/Kemet and sudan all the way to Somalia and all of the horn of Africa including Kenya.... and Somalia = where humanity originaly came from.. so if anything albanians and slavs are my Offspring
Ashkenazim do have Semitic looking faces. the only thing is their coloring is off sometimes. like they have the long Semitic face and nose but they are pale and blue eyed., i guess that what happen when you are isolated in Europe for close to 1500 yrs.
Phenotypes dont represent races, the Askhenazis mixied amongst themselves (Semitids & Non-Semitid Converts both Near Eastern & others) creating their own genepool, this will change as phenotypic mixing picks up pace as it already does in Israel-NYC
