15,000–13,000 BCE: (The First Divergence of Proto-North Erythraic in Egypt — Proto-North Erythraic Splitting into Two Daughter Languages, Proto-Boreafrasian and Pre-Proto-Semitic, Most Probably in the Next Couple of Thousand Years After 15,000 BCE, Pre-Proto-Semitic Being the Distant but Direct Ancestor of the Proto-Semitic Language Spoken Thousands of Years Later Around 4000 BCE in the Syria-Palestine-Israel Region): Two further eras of divergence within the North Erythraic sub-branch followed the initial arrival in Egypt. The first of these was the divergence, most probably in the next couple of thousand years after 15,000 BCE, of the proto-North Erythraic language into two daughter languages: proto-Boreafrasian and pre-proto-Semitic. The latter language was the distant but direct ancestor of the proto-Semitic language spoken thousands of years later, around 4000 BCE, in the Syria-Palestine-Israel region. Let the genealogy register. The language that would become Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, Akkadian — the tongues of the Torah, the Quran, the Code of Hammurabi — descends from a language that was born in Egypt, carried there by grain harvesters from the Horn of Africa. Pre-proto-Semitic did not enter Egypt from the Levant. It left Egypt for the Levant. The direction of linguistic descent runs south to north, Africa to Asia, and the people who spoke it when they departed were the same African grain-harvesting communities who had arrived a couple of thousand years earlier from the Ethiopian Highlands. The Semitic languages are African exports. The ancient Near East received its most consequential linguistic inheritance not from Mesopotamia or Anatolia but from the Nile Valley — and the Nile Valley received it from the Horn of Africa.
