For all you bible-believers:
Let's talk about Noah's sons and their descendants, and their names, and the similarities of their names to the nationalities of the world.

First let's talk about the sources which the Hebrews ripped off in creating Noah. From Sumer and Babylon we find Ziasudra, Atrahasiz and Utnapishnim -- each from much older traditions than Noah.
I do know that crazy Identist Christians are fond of claiming that toponyms, hydronyms and ethnonyms based on "Dan" have etymologies in the Hebew tribe of Dan. This, of course, we know to be bogus history.

Noah is a biblical invention. He was supposed to be an albino born with snow white hair and milk white skin. The bible is a good read and belongs in the fiction section.

As for the relation between the name of Loth and ameriindians, Allah Ă¢alem! Keep the faith strong my brother.
