Map of Gomer and Riphath and their descendants

Brief Discussion of the Map of Gomer and Riphath

Gomer is one of Noah’s grandsons whose descendants inhabited much of modern-day France, Wales, and beyond (this does not include Gomer’s other sons Ashkenaz and Togarmah, who also have many descendants). The old name of France, Gaul or Galla, is a variation of Gomer. Other varieties of the name still reflect with Galatia or Galicia and even Celts (Gelts), where the letter g and the letter c were fairly close in pronunciation, so variation arose prior to fixed spellings (which became a bit more stable with the printing press in the A.D. 1500s). “Portugal” is literally from Port of Gaul inhabiting that coast. Most historians concur with these well-known connections.

The name for the Old Welsh language is well known as Gomeraega, Gymraeg, or Cymraeg; and the Welsh call themselves Cymri. And this makes sense, especially since much of the North Sea and English Channel would have been exposed land during migration times during the post-Flood Ice Age. They could easily come by boat as well.

The Celts extended into much of Europe and likely mixed with a number of the other European peoples like the Scots, Germans, Irish, and perhaps others. The ancient Celts dominated much of western Europe and had close cultural ties with the ancient German peoples.61 Historians concur that the Cimbri people in Denmark are also likely one such group that is of Germanic origin and perhaps Celtic origin. Likely they are both. Though they were originally of Celtic/Gomer origin, they later mixed with the Germanic groups through Danius and Gutae (sons of Ashkenaz) when the sea encroached on them and Rome ignored their request to allot some land for them. They joined with the Germans in Denmark and fought against Rome.62 The Celts even mixed with Slavs and Germans to make up the Czech people. Even the northern portions of Italy spoke Celtic languages.

Have they gone elsewhere? Surely they did. One such people group with a lineage to Gomer is the Miautso (Miao) people residing in parts of China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos. There are many people groups living within China that did not come through the Sinites but were conquered by them. This is one group. Their genealogy goes back to Gomer. Wherever the French and Danes have gone, so has the blood of Gomer.

Galicia and Portugal (think Port of Gaul), the west coast of the Iberian Peninsula, were descendants of Gomer (surely some mixing with Tubal, from whom the Spanish proper came). Galatia in Asia Minor and in Romania (Galati) were the result of a later migration of Gauls moving east by chieftain Brennus but who were finally conquered about 279 B.C.63 One group was left in Asia Minor, which was the extent of their exploits. Paul in the New Testament blessed the Galatian Christians in the first century with a letter of Scripture.

Per Josephus, Riphath settled in the northern part of Asia Minor and potentially mixed with other of
