James:
I just decided not to answer one of your postings in another thread that you
started because your answer indicates ignorance of Hebrew language and
poetry.
As a group, we have had other discussions where the reuse of names for new
places and people was an issue, and this is no different. Just because the
post-flood land of Cush was named after one of Ham’s sons does not rule out
that this was a reuse of a pre-flood name for a new place. The same with
Assyria.
This whole argument is a non-starter.

The land of Cush was named after Cush the son of Ham (he hadn't been born

Assyria was named after Asshur the son of Shem (he hadn't been born yet
either)
Please, stop sidestepping the issues and face them head on if you wish your
theory to be taken seriously at any level.
