Visualize how people groups migrated from Babel across the world over 4,200 years of recorded history. Grounded in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10) and Y-chromosome research by Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson. Watch the descendants of Shem, Ham, and Japheth spread across every continent.
An interactive world map that brings history to life through animated migration paths
Watch glowing migration paths trace across a canvas world map as groups move from their origin to new regions over centuries.
See civilizations split into branches and merge with others. Dots fork into multiple paths with new labels and colors.
Play, pause, scrub through time, and adjust speed. Watch dates change from 2200 BC to the modern era as you explore.
From the dispersion at Babel to the Syrian refugee crisis. Each group includes biblical lineage, Y-chromosome data, detailed narratives, and key facts.
Explore some of history's most significant population movements
The most consequential migration in human history. After God confused the languages at Babel, 70 family groups scattered across the earth in three great lines: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Japheth's seven sons spread north and west from Babel to populate Europe, the Caucasus, and beyond. Javan fathered the Greeks. Gomer fathered the Celts and Germans.
Shemite maritime peoples sailed across 16 million square miles of Pacific Ocean using only stars and waves — the greatest navigation feat in history.
Dr. Jeanson traces Native Americans to Joktan (Shem's line) via Y-chromosome haplogroup Q. Multiple waves reached the Americas from Central Asia.
