The Stone Chumash, page 47, does not have Amalek listed as one of the 70 nations descended from Noah's sons.

There's a geneological chart of Abraham's family on page 7, one of Esau's descendents on page 197, and one of Jacob's descendents on page 261.

From the chart, Amalek was the son of Timna and Eliphaz (a concubine relationship), Timna was the daughter of Seir, and Eliphaz the son of Adah, one of Esaus' wives, and Elon.

Since the Torah knew in such detail, these geneological relationships, why would anyone not believe that the Torah was indeed describing facts, and not "myths"????
