Countries: Paraguay

Paraguay is a country in South America. It is bordered by Argentina to the south and southwest, Brazil to the east and northeast, and Bolivia to the northwest.

Before the Spanish conquest of South America, Paraguay was the home of the?Guaraní Indians.

The Guarani people lived in the region eastward from the?Paraguay River, in the?Misiones?Province of?Argentina?and southern?Brazil?and as far east as the?Atlantic?coast near?Rio de Janeiro from around 2000–1000 BC.

Little is known about early Guarani society and beliefs.

Many Guaranis were slain or enslaved by the slave hunters active in Brazil.

Following the Great Flood (c. 2100 BC), which destroys all of humanity except the family of Noah, Genesis 10 presents a family tree in the form of a branched or segmented genealogy, tracing the descendants of Noah’s three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, and their descendants. Many of these names become future nations, tribes, lands and cities, known to us from elsewhere in the Bible and from extra-biblical sources: Accordingly, this chapter is referred to as the “Table of Nations.”

In the Book of Genesis, the mountains of Ararat is the term used to designate the region in which Noah's Ark comes to rest after the Great Flood (c. 2100 BC), which destroys all of humanity except the family of Noah.

From these eight people …. Noah, his sons and their wives …? the whole earth was populated.
