Ham saw his father naked, why Noah cursed Canaan (Son of Ham) instead of Ham?

Correct. The trouble is, folks get an idea fixated in their heads, then they go out ‘in search of’ anything that could be construed as supportive of their premise. There’s actually nothing wrong with that, unless your premise is entirely wrong and unless you are ignoring known facts to bolster your premise.

Ham had four sons and only the youngest was cursed by Noah— lacking any scriptural basis for saying so, they conclude that Canaan was “the fruit” of the illicit interaction between Ham and his mom. In other words— they manufacture this element.

And it doesn’t make sense at all because of dna. The giants come from the line of Ham through his wife, not from Ham and his mother.
Why do you suppose that Noah's wife's name is never mentioned? Or perhaps it is? Does the name Gaia mean Mother Earth?

Gen 9:21 And he drankH8354 ofH4480 the wine,H3196 and was drunken;H7937 and he was uncovered H1540 withinH8432 his tent.H168

H1540
גּלה
gâlâh
gaw-law' (pronounced Galah and is also Gaia)
A primitive root; to denude (especially in a disgraceful sense); by implication to exile (captives being usually stripped); figuratively to reveal: - + advertise, appear, bewray, bring, (carry, lead, go) captive (into captivity), depart, disclose, discover, exile, be gone, open, X plainly, publish, remove, reveal, X shamelessly, shew, X surely, tell, uncover.

גּלה = gimel- lamed- hey
gimel = to lift up
lamed = rod, authority, tongue, teaching
hey = reveal, show, behold, grace, mercy, what comes from, spirit


Ham was usurping his father's authority (while he was in the vineyard? while he was away leading all the animals of the ark to their present day locations?) by having sex with his father's wife? We do not know if this was Ham's biological mother or if she was a step-mother.

Lev 18:8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover H1540: it is thy father's nakedness.

Ever hear the word/name Gaia? Mother Earth? This reference is an abomination to our Creator Yehovah. He did not create Mother Earth. She usurped her authority by unlawful adulterous whoring starting with one of Noah's sons, Ham.

Wife of Nimrod was Semiramis according to Alexander Hislop in the Tale of Two Babylons.

My understanding is that Noah's wife (Gaia/Semiramis) mothered Canann (Ham's son) , and mothered Cush (Canaan's son) and lastly married Nimrod, (Cush's son and great great grandson of Noah). She was a great big whore and from her and Nimrod we get the reincarnation of Nimrod and Semiramis throughout mythology. Mythology is just a way to retell the same story over and over. Mother Mary and the infant Jesus is Semiramis and her son Tammuz born magically after Nimrod was dead. Very interesting read.

Romans 2 verses 1-2 You who pass judgment on another have no excuse. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.
