ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Caphtor

Okay kiddo, let me explain what a Caphtor is.

Caphtor is a word that comes from a place mentioned in the Bible called "Caphtorim". It's believed that Caphtorim was a land located on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean sea.

Now, imagine you have a big map with lots of countries and cities on it. Caphtor is like one of those cities, but it's not a city that we know today. It's more like a place that existed long, long time ago.

Some people think that Caphtor was actually a region in Egypt, while others say it was in modern-day Crete. These are all faraway places where people lived differently than we live today.

So, in summation, Caphtor is just a name for a place that existed in the past, but nobody knows exactly where it was or what it was like. It's just one of the many places that people in the past talked about, like Atlantis or Troy. Does that make sense, kiddo?
