Arpachshad

According to the Bible, Arpachshad or Arphaxad was the son of Shem, Noah's son. Arpachshad's son Salah was an ancestor of Abraham and Jesus. But Jews and Christians say that Arpachshad was not just the ancestor of the Babylonians and Sumerians, but also the Chinese and Japanese as well.
