Semitic (culture) (Near Eastern (Early Western World), Early Western World, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Cultures of peole having related languages, presumably derived from a common language, generally including the Arabs, Akkadians, Canaanites, some Ethiopians, and Aramaean tribes including Hebrews. Mesopotamia, the western coast of the Mediterranean, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Horn of Africa have all been proposed as possible sites for the prehistoric origins of Semitic-speaking peoples, but no location has been definitively established. By 2500 BCE Semitic-speaking peoples had become widely dispersed throughout western Asia. In Phoenicia they became seafarers. In Mesopotamia they blended with the civilization of Sumer. The Hebrews settled with other Semitic-speaking peoples in Palestine.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Culturen van volkeren met verwante talen, vermoedelijk afgeleid van een gemeenschappelijke taal. In het algemeen worden hiertoe de Arabieren, Akkadiërs, Kanaänieten, sommige Ethiopiërs en Aramese stammen gerekend, inclusief de Hebreeërs. Mesopotamië, de oostelijke kusten van het Middellandse Zeegebied, het Arabisch Schiereiland en de Hoorn van Afrika zijn voorgesteld als mogelijke prehistorische bakermat van de Semitisch sprekende volkeren, maar van geen locatie is dit definitief vastgesteld. In 2500 v.Chr. hadden de Semitisch sprekende volkeren zich wijd over West-Azië verbreid. In Fenicië werden ze zeevaarders. In Mesopotamië vermengden ze zich met de beschaving van de Soemeriërs. De Hebreeërs vestigden zich met andere Semitisch sprekende volkeren in Palestina. |
