Samuel Bochart (1599-1667), was a French Protestant Biblical scholar whose Geographia Sacra exerted a profound influence on seventeenth-century Biblical exegesis. The work seeks to explain the origins of civilization in antiquity based upon the Biblical stories of the Flood and Tower of Babel. Bochart attempted to match the 70 nations mentioned in the Biblical account with the respective ethnic groupings found of Europe, Africa and Asia.
