Who were the Kasluhim? This people is mentioned in Genesis, as ancestors of Kaftorim (Cretans) and Pelishtim (Philisteans). The list of Noah's offspring is interesting. I think Yafeth is a later addition, included only to fit people that were not known in previous schemes. I think originally Noah had only two sons: Shem ( with hinterland Near East people) and Cham (with coast Near East, East Mediterranean and Northern African - and the enigmatic Nimrod, that seems to be an archetype of Mesopotamian kings).
