the missing link,who are the Amorites?

the iraqi professor Khaz'al Majeedi in his book"The Amorites Beliefs" has an interesting theory about the Amorites,canaanites,and the aramean, and i will compare it to other important subjects, he concluded that the (Amorites,canaanites and the aramean) together is the same population related to other population (Sumerian,babylonians and Assyrians), and the tow related groups have the same origin .

we know that the Sumerian civilization is the Cradle of civilization and that the Assyrian and the Babylonian empires had risen in Mesopotamia after the end of the Sumerian civilization,and all of them are Mesopotamian,on the other hand Majeedi thinks that the Canaanites and arameans are from Amorites origin .

so when did the Canaanites become known as Canaanites the arameans become arameans ?

long time ago and Before the existence of Hebrews and Nabateans etc, around 4000 - 3000 b.c the first movement of the Amorite to the levant in several waves.(map)

In the earliest Sumerian sources, beginning about 2400 BC, the land of the Amorites ("the Mar.tu land") is associated with the West, including Syria and Canaan,many of the amorites artifact was discovered in the Fertile Crescent like the Statue of amorite king Idrimi, the king of Alalakh and son of the king of Aleppo, back to the 16th century BC.(1)

the amorites appears as nomadic people in the Mesopotamian and egyptian sources,the amorites were nomadic because they were living in the desert and the life in the desert Imposed them to live as nomadic ,not because they were arab or from Arabian descent, such as the Arameans, some arameans were nomadic tribes in the Desert in the time that the kingdom of Aram was in Damascus,(map)same population living in tow different life style and tow different environment.(map)

Majeedi also think that the Amorites who settled in the north of levant become the arameans and the Amorites who settled in the south of levant become the Canaanites , and those"Amorites" who remained in the desert remained to be known as the "Amorites",And what leaves no room for doubt on Majeedi theory, is the semtic origin of the Canaanites and arameans names.

Transliteration: Kĕna`an Pronunciation: ken·ah'·an
"Can" means low Canaan = "lowland"
canaanites means the lowlanders (2)

"Aram" means high.
Aramaeans = highlanders (3),(4)




In addition that the Amorites were worshiping the Sumerian gods such as "Martu" god not arabian gods (5)

@MistyMarie1970 Who are the "beast of the field" the bible speaks of in many places?

Jonah 3:8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. We know these beast can't be 4-legged, they have paws & hooves not "hands", and they wear sackcloth & can speak like a man & pray to God in repentance. The beast sound like a people but not in Adam mans image.

If you think that you "know" Sumer was the first civilization, when anyone with half a brain can see older cities under the water, and being excavated from Turkey, like Gobekli Tepe, then you are truly a systematic FOOL in the flesh. I bet you worship Darwin and think that bullshit theories are absolute "facts" like a good brainwashed systematic fool person should think right ??? LMAO :) This is a public school JOKE personified !!

@Asad1969 White people are not from Japhet.

[Asad1969]

@Cloyde100 Gog and Magog are from Japeth. The names of the sons of Noah are actually colors- hues. Ham means Black (Hamaa'in-Arabic). Shem, like Khem, is a variation of Ham and also means Black. Japteh means 'Bright one'. White people are from Japeth and possibly Japanese. According to ancient writtings, the Chinese were considered Black. Only two races existed, Black and Red. Red is the ancient name for whites. No such thing as mongoloids, that was invented to confuse people

[thegreatmonster]

plausible I would say..

[Cloyde100]

Who here even knows what peoples came out of the Japhetic lineage.

Because a lot of people seriously don't seem to know, when it is pretty obvious when you look at the main different races/peoples from a wider view. If you understand what I am saying.

@WesleySniperS1 you are pretentious

From below: my theory is based on Canaan being a servent, therefor they had no king. The only king mentioned in that area is Melchizedek the king of Salam(jerusalem) This king is noted as being Shem. The SCARED tree & moreh, Shechem, he moved to bethel where the Canaanites & prizzites are mentioned staying at SCARED trees of memre the Amorite. in the war gen 14 Canaanites & perizzites arent mentioned by name in this war, but are no longer mentioned living in the land either.

[MistyMarie1970]

something i have found Interesting, Noah cursed Canaan son of Ham he's to be a servent to his brothers Cush,Egypt, libya,japeth & Shem, the name is next mentioned as the land of canaan, which Abraham will inheriate to be a servent of God. The only mention of canaanites is Gen 12 & 13 they disapair & only the land is mentioned from then on, those who lived in canaan were Amorites, Amalikites. what happened to the Canaanites & prezzites. Did Gen 14 have something to do with them, where did they go

[NewsNotShownonTV]

The Amorites were the children of Lot, Abraham's nephew, from Sumaria.
