The sons of Mizraim are Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, Pathrusim, Casluhim,
and Caphtorim.

The sons of Put are not named in the Holy Bible and it is believed that there
were originally eleven tribes originating from Put, according to Chinese
records.  And that the first Chinese Emperor Huang Di is the eleventh son of
this man "Put".  The statements above are held as factual by reliable sources
