In modern times Iberia does mean the Iberian peninsula which has Spain and Portugal. The name comes from the Latin form of the River Ebro in the northeastern part of the peninsula.
But of that area, displayed by Cronos in the map he shows to us here (Post #26), there is another map of the same features, but placing Ararat and the beginning of the Euphrates River (also mentioned even earlier in the Genesis account of history) right smack in the middle of Iberia/Armenia!
Did not all tribes thereafter originate from this region after the confusion of languages, of which the Hebrew/Aramaic(Armenian) language was the first of all, the same language in which the Mighty God conversed with Adam and Eve?
Doesn't this go toward supporting the theory of Armenia and naming one of the predominant features of water and its life-bearing elements in recognition of the Antecedent (Eber) of their own well-known antiquity?
Thus his name is yet remembered until our day, to be retold and celebrated of God's blessing to preserve a source of holiness for us to consider?
You do know that Abraham was born in the Ur of the ChaldeesAramites=Armenians (which is the SanliUrFa [not far from the Chaldean/Caucasian mountains]. This "Ur" ias just above Harran*, within a day's walk of Gobekli Tepe; not the "Ur" near the end of the Euphrates which Leonard Wooley proposed (I presume) to advance his own fame as a Biblical archaeologist. He theorized that his "Ur" was the one from which Abram was guided south to inherit the land of the depraved Canaanites that fell out of favor with the Tetragrammaton. But I think not, and s does anciently recorded history.
This is all just fascinating, tantalizing to the one who wants to know history from God's point of view.
I have also read that the Basques of Spain/Eber(/) and people of Georgia (contains Mideast Iberia) languages are quite uniquely similar. Hmmm.
So much more to this . . .
But thanks for your hints, my FRiends! May they bear fruit for us all!
