Who were they and what happened with them. They were non-semites,

>>3155182
Their language is non-semitic. That isn't necessarily proof that they were geneticially non-semitic, but it's probably a pretty good indication.

>Who were they
We don't really know, it's possible they'd come from somewhere in modern Armenia 'cause they mention mountains in their myths a lot.
>what happened to them.
They got assimilated by Semites.

>>3155182
They were a Semitic people

>>3155263
Proof?

>>3155182

There were related to the Annunaki and come from planet Nibiru.

>>3155272
What else could the possibly be?

>>3155263
no, akkadians were

hittites weren't semites either

>>3155351
>>3155263
They didn't speak a semitic language.

>>3155354
Neither were Hatti, Mittani or Elamites, for that matter.

>>3155354
The Egyptians weren't Semitic either

>>3155360
Doesnt make them not semites in ethnicity. they were the precursor to what we now know as semites.
>>3155354
>>3155367
Mittani and Egyptians were definately semitic.
Hatti, Elamites and hittites came from the edges of the region

>>3155263
Retard

>>3155351
Elamites, Hurrians and Hittites were nor semitic either

>>3155383
Why are retards like you allowed to exist?

>>3155383
according to your logic the hittites were turkish

>>3155407
Insufficient numbers of tigers.

>>3155351
The middle east was full of language isolates and from other families at the time. The eternal semite just expanded and deleted them

Sumerian
Hatti
Gutian
Cassite
Elamite (elamo-dravidian?)
Hurrite
Hittite (Indoeuropean)
Banana language / proto euphratean
Egyptian (afroasiatic)
Etc

>>3155431
Also Luwian and Palaic belonging to The Anatolian branch of Indieuropean

Why do there have to be so many fucktards on /his/?

>>3155187

Semites are a linguistic group

End yourself. They were Indo-Europeans.

Because /his/ is on 4chan.

I'm thinking they originally came from a region that later got submerged by water, hence all the flood myths (that were later copied and altered by Jews, Akkadians, Babylonians and others). Persian Gulf used to be a patch of land before getting flooded around 6000 BC, and the Sumerians themselves regarded a place called Dilmun somewhere in the Persian Gulf as their place of origin. They also viewed as a beautiful idyllic place with gardens that had to be abandoned because of the deluge - which is probably where the Jewish myth of the Garden of Eden comes from. The remnants of Dilmun were supposed to be located in the are of modern Bahrain island, which is probably all that was left after the area got flooded.
Obviously, Sumerians spoke a language isolate but the Persian Gulf area probably contained a population of speakers of a larger language meta-group, which Sumerian language ultimately descended from as the sole survivor.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's ruins of some ancient, pre-Sumerian civilization buried under the Gulf, archaeologists should do more extensive research in that area.

>>3155690
there was no "flood" in 6000BC. the persian gulf gradually grew over time

>>3155705
>gradually grew
Through flooding.

>>3155721
gradual flooding over thousands of years isn't going to be sudden enough for a flood myth to be based on it. there were very likely humans living in areas that became flooded that had to evacuate, but it hardly would have left an impression on them bigger than any other ecological changes and none of them would have been killed by an ocean creeping forward at a pace too slow for anyone to notice

>>3155187
>That isn't necessarily proof that they were geneticially non-semitic,
Gas yourself.

>>3155736
Actually there is, it wasn't one gigantic flood, but a series of smaller floods that would appear downright cataclysmic to people in the antiquity.

>>3155752
>series of smaller floods
which isn't what happened. this was gradual flooding that would be near impossible for anyone at the time to notice

>>3155736
>an ocean creeping forward at a pace too slow for anyone to notice
Maybe, if they were hunter-gatherers, but if they were settled societies with villages and stuff, or even if they just had some prominent landmarks like Gobekli Tepe-style temples, them going underwater over years could have made these guys very nervous indeed without the even being catastrophic.

>>3155187
Semitic is a linguistic/cultural group, not a genetic one

JUST

Assyrians still exist, sweetie.

Inshallah!

Hanigalblat was an Indo-European state. Egyptians are Afro-Asiatics, which is related to Semites but not identical to them.

>>3155995
They don't, actually. Syria is full of Syrians, not Assyrians.

>>3155690

The Sumerian flood myth is explicitly about the river flooding, something it did regularly. The fact that Sumerians built artificial "mountains" for their gods, and the fact they claimed to have come from the Zagros mountains themselves, both suggest they came from what is now Iran, not from the gulf, tho they would have certainly mixed with the Ubaid peoples and may well have learned agriculture from them.
