Canaan
From Warpedia
The Land of Canaan, also known as Canaan, was a Semitic-speaking region located in the Ancient Near East. The term Canaanites is used to refer to inhabitants of this region. This region is considered the birthplace of the religion of Judaism, and was consistently occupied by numerous empires, mostly that of Ancient Egypt. As such, numerous wars have been waged in Canaan, taking place prior to the 2nd millenium BCE and the Israelite conquest. Today, the area that was Canaan is now in the Middle East, with the term 'Canaanite' used for an Israeli movement in the 1940s CE.
