The tribe of Japheth’s son Madai, who according to the Book of Jubilees married a daughter of Shem, settled in the Zagros mountains to the northeast of the Tower of Babel, and a thousand miles to the east to Balochistan of southeastern Iran and western Pakistan, where they built for instance Mehrgarh, having spoken the Balochi language which is like the Kurdish of the Zagros, and similar to Avestan, Old Persian, and Sanskrit (in its early form the language of the Indus Valley Civilization).
