The Adam's Family
The longevity of the bible’s early patriarchs has always been a cause of wonderment, if not outright skepticism. However,
the tradition of such longevity in ancient man (at least the kings) is
recorded by several ancient historians, including: Acusilaus, Berosus,
Ephorus, Hecataeus, Hellanicus, Hesiod, Hestiaeus, Hieronymus, Josephus,
Manetho, Mochus, and Nicolaus. In addition, the “Sumerian King Lists” tell the same story, and furthermore, note a profound discontinuity of lifetimes before and after the Great Flood/Deluge.
The strangeness of the Adam’s Family Tree is
illustrated in the below tables, where the far left column is dated from
the birth of Adam, the number under each name is that person’s age when
his son was born (e.g. Seth was 105, when Enos was born), and the
underlined numbers are age of the patriarch at his death. (The years are
taken from the King James version of the Bible.)
The first table shows that when Noah was born
he had six generations of his family still living, with Enoch having
“ascended to heaven” rather than dying. Inheritances were obviously few and far between in those days! Meanwhile,
Noah’s father, Lamech, could have set on his great, great, great,
great, great, great grandfather’s knee, while Methuselah apparently
survived the Great Flood/Deluge!
The average age of the pre-flood patriarchs (not counting the special case of Enoch) is 913. This is in sharp contrast to the line from Shem to Abraham -- even though Shem was born before the Flood. The Sumerian King Lists show a similar sharp change in the longevity of their kings immediately following the Flood.
From the second table, there is even more intrigue.
On the one hand, fathers were having their sons at a relatively early
age (31.4 average) for seven of the generations (as compared to an
average of 150 in all of the previous generations). Curious fact.
Meanwhile, Noah did quite well for himself in terms of
longevity (in line with all of his previous generations), while Shem
didn’t quite make it to the end of “middle age” (i.e. less than 2/3rds
of Noah). The next three generations averaged 446 years (about half of the Adam to Noah clan). And then yet another drop in the following six generations to an average of 206 years!
This led to the weird situation (there’s no
other name for it), whereby Noah’s son, Shem, outlived all but one
member of the next eight generations! Shem and the three generations behind him, far outlived the following five generations. After growing up with ancestors from ten
generations still hanging around, Abraham must have felt incredibly
unlucky, when he died prior to his great, great, great, great
grandfather, his great, great, great, great, great grandfather, and his
great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather!
After Abraham, everything went even further downhill, i.e. at the time of their death:
How can this strangeness be explained?
If we assume that Adam and Eve were born of a genetic DNA combination of Anunnaki and Homo erectus blood (as recounted in the webpages, Genesis and Adam and Eve), and that the Anunnaki were extremely long-lived compared to humans (i.e. on the order of 500,000 years), then the long lives of the pre-flood patriarchs are not that much of a surprise. There is easily a clearly genetic component involved.
But DNA alone doesn’t suffice to explain the step-wise decrease in longevity from the time of Noah to that of David. There
is a huge gap between Noah (950) and his son, Shem (600), another gap
between Shem and the next three generations (446), and yet another huge
gap before the following six generations (222), and then a gap and slow
decrease over the next ten generations (down to 70).
A slow degradation of the genetics might
explain a part, but not why the pre-flood patriarchs showed no signs of
decreasing longevity, nor why the subsequent decreases came in steps.
This leaves environmental causes as a possible answer. Theories have been suggested in this regard, but a change in the environment doesn’t explain the step-wise progression either. Environmental processes typically don’t show a series of discontinuities.
But perhaps, the change is more obvious -- perhaps it’s something they ate, or didn’t eat!
Was the long-term mortality of Adam’s Family due to the something in
their diet that provided an extended mortality, and that the step-wise
removal of this key ingredient was responsible for the quantum
reductions in longevity? As opposed to a serious aversion to inheritance taxes?
In other words, the simplest explanation is pretty much a version of the modern day explanation for living long: It’s all in the Diet!
The key ingredient appears to have been the ORME (aka Star Fire, elixir of life, “white powder of gold,” Ma-Na or Manna). This is the literal version of “soul food”, which feeds the soul and thereby allows for substantially prolonged life times.
Consider the following scenario:
During the pre-flood days, everything was progressing pretty much in accordance with the establishment’s (i.e. Anunnaki’s) agenda, and thus the kings and patriarchs who were given their charge by the so-called Gods and Goddesses were provided ready access to the ORME (in any of its versions and by any of its names).
After the flood, however, there was a sea change (pardon the pun) in how things were going. There
is, after all, nothing like having the vast majority of civilized man
wiped out to cause a certain lack of confidence by men in their gods. There
is also the distinct possibility that the gods themselves (the
Anunnaki) had decided that perhaps it was not in their best interests to
have their human middle managers (aka kings) hang around so long. (This is a problem that many modern day CEO’s can appreciate.)
Accordingly, and with the exception of Noah, things started to change. There is definite distinction between, for example, Star Fire of the Goddess and an ORME “supplement”. By
the time of Moses, for example, the Exodus hero was totally dependent
upon the ORME, which he attempted to manufacture in his furnace atop
Mount Sinai (aka Mount Horeb). Laurence Gardner has noted that “it was from the milk of
Hathor [the Egyptian Mother Goddess, and an aspect of Isis the Great
Mother] that the pharaohs were said to gain their divinity, becoming
gods in their own right.” [1]
Gardner also noted that “In more ancient Sumerian
times, during the days of the original Star Fire ritual, the bloodline
kings who were fed with the hormone-rich lunar essence of the Anunnaki
goddesses were also said to have been nourished with their own milk --
notably that of Ishtar.” This Star Fire was actually the divine menstruum, which supposedly “constituted the purest and most potent life force.”
The “white powder of gold” (the ORME), which
was manufactured as a substitute for the Goddess Star Fire, may have had
other potential uses, but it was simply not as potent as the original.
The bottom line is the Goddess Star Fire was
undoubtedly fully available to the pre-flood patriarchs, but less so to
the post-flood gang. There is
also the possibility that it may have been replaced in incremental steps
by the ORME, and/or other substitutes as time passed, and as the middle
managers came and went. While
the ORME might have been used for generations by the Anunnaki as the key
to their longevity (which over time would have made major DNA changes),
for the humans (kings, et al) the Star Fire may have been a combination
of ORME and the benefits of Anunnaki-style “mother’s milk”.
Finally, just as supplements don’t really
replace healthy organically grown foods, the ORME simply wouldn’t have
the carrying power of Star Fire. But even with the ORME,
Star Fire, elixir of life, or what-have-you, there is also the need to
approach its consumption with the right attitude, or for lack of a
better term, a sense of righteousness. It’s
all about where the food is from, how it’s obtained, and importantly,
how it’s consumed -- an ancient version of the modern day Theory of Eating.
It’s also important -- particularly with respect to the Star Fire -- to know where it’s been!
