Josephus subsequently detailed the nations supposed to have descended from the seven sons of Japheth. Among the nations various later writers have attempted to assign to them are as follows:
Gomer: Armenians, Cimmerians, Scythians, Welsh, Irish, Germans, Huns, Turks, Franks. Magog: Scythians, Slavs, Mongols, Hungarians, Irish, Finns, Pamiris, Pashtuns
Madai: Medes, Indo-Iranians, Mitanni, Mannai, Persian , kurds , Tajiks, Balochis, Talishis, Mazandaris, Zazas, Sengesaris and Tati. According to the Book of Jubilees (10:35-36), Madai had *MARRIED A DAUGHTER OF SHEM*, and preferred to live among Shem's descendants, rather than dwell in Japheth's allotted inheritance BEYOND the Black Sea; so he begged his brothers-in-law, Elam, Asshur and Arphaxad, until he finally received from them the land that was named after him, Media.
*Note* Madai (Persians, Afghans are Brown skinned)
Javan: Greeks (Ionians) Tubal: Tabal, Tibareni, Georgians, Italics, Iberians, Basques Tiras: Thracians, Goths, Jutes, Teutons Meshech: Phrygians, Illyrians, Caucasian Iberia, Russians
