Of Ham's four sons, Canaan fathered the Canaanites, while Mizraim fathered the Egyptians, Cush the Cushites, and Phut the Libyans.[10]

He continues his studies of ancient texts and in 1684 argues that Hermes Trismegistus is not the Egyptian Thoth
Historical Accounts and Myths: Hancock references ancient Egyptian texts and myths that imply the Sphinx was ancient even in Khafre’s time, suggesting a much older date (p.
Hancock's views on the Sphinx challenge the traditional timeline of history and suggest a need to explore the possibility of advanced civilizations existing before the known Egyptian dynasties.
In 1991, Professor Schoch scientifically dated the Sphinx to thousands of years prior to the time of the Egyptian pharaohs, having been constructed at the end of the last ice age.
The Sphinx is not only an Egyptian symbol but is also found in various cultures, including Greece and Asia, suggesting a universal esoteric significance.

Ham is traditionally considered the ancestor of peoples in Africa and parts of the Near East, including the Egyptians (Mizraim), Ethiopians (Cush), Libyans (Put), and Canaanites.
It contains an inscription in three scripts: Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and Egyptian demotic script.
The stone was significant because it provided the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Jean-François Champollion, a French scholar, successfully deciphered the hieroglyphs in 1822 by comparing them with the known Greek text, unlocking the mysteries of ancient Egyptian civilization.
