>>19912607The House of Omri (Kingdom of Israel), pronounced phonetically as "Ghomri" (Hebrew) or "Khumri" (Assyrian), and derivatives of those words "Gamera/Gimera" & "ga-me-ra-a-an" (Assyrian) and "Gimiri" (Babylonian) also show up in ancient records as root words for CIMMERIANS.
The etymology of אברהם (Abraham) is actually unknown. The first part אב (Ab) means "father" but the root רהם is unknown in Semitic and led to much speculation. As for אברם (Abram), it means "exalted father" and is probably a misinterpretation of the Amorite name אבירם (Abiram) "my father is exalted". Ezekiel 16:2-3 says that Abraham was an Amorite and his wife Sarah was a Hittite. Sodom was called Sittim, the plural Semitic suffix implies two cities. Gomorrah was Amorru, the Amorite capital and the Amorites obviously survived and lived just fine. They were also known as Omri and Khumri, the Assyrian name for Cimmerians.The Sitt implies Sutean. We know the Suteans and Amorites originated near the Persian Gulf and migrated to Caanan due to some sort of catastrophe. Probably the same one that buried Southern Arabian cities in the desert and dried up lakes and also caused abandonment or the Indus Civilization. Of course, the biblical mythos places this event near "tar" fields (oil fields) and claims the Dead Sea was created by it (which burbs asphalt so it could have been an oil field at one point). The Dead Sea and Jordan River are part of an earthquake fault running through the Lebanon mountains which caused various catastrophes. There are meteor fragments all over Arabia as well as many craters and volcanoes in Eastern Syria.
