For every person on earth, belonging to their unique people, their traditions, and culture is very important. Legends are made up about the origin of peoples, they are put forward assumptions, but nothing has been exactly proven.
Bible version
According to biblical teaching, all people living on earth exist thanks to Noah, his wife, their children, and the wives of their children. According to legend, they were entrusted with a responsible mission: to revive humanity and fill the earth with people. It is also known about the 16 grandchildren of Noah, who settled throughout the land and gave impetus to the emergence of various nationalities. The first descendants of Noah stood out because they lived for a very long time, sometimes outliving even their great-grandchildren. Around such ancestors, uniting one particular area, the peoples concentrated. The lands on which they existed were called by the name of this person. Such centenarians were considered not only their ancestors, but also Gods, they were worshiped. For example, there is a version and some evidence that the name of modern Turkey came from a Noah descendant with the name Togarma.
The Bible also mentions that initially all the descendants of Noah spoke the same language and there was only one people. After they disobeyed God's will to fill the earth and resettle, starting the construction of one big city and the Tower of Babel, he mixed their languages so that they could not agree and act together. People could no longer exist within the same group, because they did not understand each other and were alienated. Thus began the scattering of people on the earth. And after resettlement, depending on environmental conditions, people also have external differences, for example, in skin color.
