| − | A Semitic person, or Semite is a person who originated from either the Hebrews or the Arabs. You are Semitic if you originated from Shem, a son of Noah. Most people think that they originated out of Arabia, but this is not true. They originated out of Northern Mesopotamia about four to six thousand years ago. Places in the ancient world like Assyria and Israel were made from Semites. Sumer, which is considered to be the world's first country, was not made by Semites, but they inhabited a lot of it. By about two and a half thousand years ago, the Semites had dispersed themselves all of the way to the horn of Africa. The Semite contribution to the world is that they carried on all the things that people from Sumer created, like writing, and their form of government. But their biggest contribution was their languages. they made many languages that still are around today such as Hebrew and Aramaic.
