A little off topic, but some scientists believe they may have found Noah's ark. Go to: http://home.netscape.com/. There's a news box that pops up. You can read the story there.

Kem-Au,
I doubt it is Noah's Ark, but it would be good to actually know what the structure is or is not.

However, relating to AE. Ham is the son of Noah and the father of Mizarim. Mizarim is the biblical father of the ancient egyptians.

Who is Mizarim suppose to be?
Could it be Menes, Namer, or the Scorpion King?

I'm really the wrong person to ask, but I doubt it. I'd guess that Mizriam is either a play on an AE word like Menefer or possibly refers to all of Egypt itself.

If it were an actual person, then I'd guess that Ham was a real person as well, so who was he?

I think the names are just symbolic not meaning real individuals. He had children named Mizarim, Punt, and Cush. It's like saying Ham was the father of Africans. Mizarim is the Hebrew name for Egypt, Cush could have been in reference to the Nubians and Ethiopians. I've heard two different explanations for Punt. Some say it is Libya, others say it is modern day Somalia. That's the best explanation I can give for that story.

Mizraim means dual in Hebrew or the two lands reffering to Upper and Lower Egypt.

Noah is a myth and none of those people existed. All of that was written in the 6th century AD centures after it was supposed to have happened. It is valuable from a religious point of view but worthless for use in history.
