Ham · −2499 – −1900

  1. 1. Ararat −2400 – −2350

    Ham comes out of the ark with his family. After the vineyard, Noah's curse falls not on him but on his son Canaan.

  2. 2. Shinar −2349 – −2269

    The families gather in Shinar, where Ham's grandson Nimrod begins his kingdom. After Babel they scatter.

  3. 3. Land of Ham −2200 – −1900

    The Torah does not say where Ham himself went. His sons are Cush, Mizraim, Put and Canaan, and the Psalms call Egypt the land of Ham, so the map places him there.
