None of which is a relevant primary document. Full Stop.

Not to mention that there's no evidence that such peoples even existed
outside of myths and legends, or, if they _did_ exist, that there were
such divisions of lands. Or that the way it was when Caesar or the
missionaries arrived was necessarily how it was a thousand or so years
earlier.

Relying on myths and assuming connections that have not been
demonstrated, assuming that the Bible was written at the time it
claims to have taken place and never re-edited to fit political ends
(and there _is_ evidence for that: two versions of Goliath, one with
David and one without), and who _was_ writing down the Creation story
at the time, anyway? Care to answer that one, Mr Tinney?
