From the book: HISTORY OF THE GREATEST LIES Five millennia ago, various Semitic tribes roamed the Arabian Peninsula. They were no longer hunter-gatherers moving to new habitats searching for food but nomadic shepherds at the next stage of development. They are all immigrants from the African continent who settled in Asia Minor. For thousands of years, various tribes migrated to the north of the Eurasian continent. Four thousand years ago, part of the Semitic tribes settled in Mesopotamia as the most adapted habitat. Among these Semitic tribes were the Arameans, Arabs, Akkadians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Hyksos, Bedouins, Phoenicians, Chaldeans, and many other tribes. These tribes drove herds of goats and sheep. Domesticated goats are classified as mountain goats, and sheep are classified as rams. When crossing, they do not give offspring. Nomads dug wells for water, grazed cattle on the meager soils of Mesopotamia. They prayed to their gods, sculpted out of clay or carved out of stone. They worshiped the moon and counted the years according to the lunar calendar. They made bloody sacrifices to their gods, constructing sacrificial stones.
