Primary Ages of Adam and Seth - Part 1
Primary 130-Year Age of Adam
Tracing backwards from the 365-year
age of Enoch, we pass through seven distinct Patriarchal layers of time. Creationists can apply ancient calendar
science to better know the ancestry recorded for
Adam. Original calendar systems discover
the oldest trunk line of time reckoning and recording. The three oldest major calendars give us
hybrid insight about early civilization.
The Patriarchs knew astronomy, mathematics, and entwined early theology
with time. From Genesis 5:3 onward, these characters were the forefathers
of mankind. In every Holy Bible that we can pick up and read, these numbers are
always the same. Adam's era started
recording the calendar.
The primary 130-year age of Adam is gained directly from the words of the Holy Bible. Primary ages span from the onset of each
Biblical character until the age he begat the next named Patriarch. Evidence of a 130-year period is seen in the primary 130-year age of Adam.
The primary 130-year age of Adam begins a 260-year Sacred Cycle. Numerical matching by reason of the 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year constructs the 260-year Sacred Cycle in primary age category. The divinatory pattern of the Tzolken is expressed in terms of 360-day-Tun-years. Dual actions of 52-year Calendar Round are evident for the 5200-year Great Cycle. The 260-year Sacred Cycle multiplies by 72 to attain 18,720-years. The Great Cycle is exactly 100 times greater. The Great Cycle consists of 13 Baktuns x 400-Tun-years x 360-days, which equal 1,872,000-days.

Figure 11 above describes
365-days in the year, and the numerical match having 365-years in a cycle. An ordinary 365-day-solar-year separates into
the 260-day-sacred-year component and the 105-day portion as represented in
figure 11. Likewise, a 365-year-cycle
has both the 260-year-sacred-cycle and 105-year components. The 260-day-sacred-year divides for two
halves, each with 130-days. The
260-year-sacred-cycle also divides for two identical 130-year portions. Regarding the 365-day-solar-year, 105-days
remain and for the 365-year-cycle, 105-years remain. (Eqn. 29
and 30).
We have added three more powerful calendar tools:
· The 260-year-Sacred-Cycle is based on numerical matching from the Mesoamerican calendar systems.
· The 400-year Mesoamerican Baktun l/s cycle links with the scriptural Generation term.
· An 800-year Generation Cycle results by doubling the 400-year Baktun l/s cycle.
Primary age divisions intersect with secondary age steps. The secondary age category is a sequence numbering 1 to 13 increments of the 400-year-Baktun-cycle. One pair of 400-year-Baktun-cycles counts 800-years for each Generation Cycle. Generations of Seth, Enos, Cainan, and Mahalaleel and Jared include the standard secondary 800-year Generation Cycle repeating age. The calendar strata pattern concludes with Enoch's progression to translation during the last thirteenth 400-year-Baktun-cycle. A shift to primary-age sacred-years divides the 360-sacred-year-period into halves for later generations of Methuselah and Lamech. The chronology of ten generations in the lineage of Adam correlates with ancient calendar methods leading up to the Great Flood era.
One should remember that strict Judaism refers to Before Common Era whenever the Jewish Calendar is used with B.C.E initials relevant to the Gregorian Calendar. The traditional Jewish Calendar counts forward in linear order from the Creation year 1. The linear ages of the Antediluvian Patriarchs, plus progression through the life of Noah, amount 2,105 years at the Deluge. Another 1,656 years add to reach the first year of the Julian Calendar, thus 3,761 B.C.E. is the Jewish Calendar date for Creation. Modifications to the Roman Julian Calendar reach the A.D. Gregorian Calendar of today. The Jewish Calendar places the deluge of Noah at 2,105 B.C.E. and estimates Creation to have occurred 5,766 years ago in 2,005.
Rabbi Hillel
II introduced the present standardized version of the Jewish Calendar
in 359 C.E, for Common Era, to 360 C.E.
The spread of Christianity throughout the
There are several accepted Bible chronologies. Most chronologies place the Deluge before 2,000 B.C.E. and the Exodus between 1,460 B.C.E. and 1,470 B.C.E. This work emphasizes the derivation and use of lunar/solar calendars rather than revising those existing chronologies. The birth of Noah was 600 years before the Great Flood, or about 2,700 B.C.E. Regressing by 800-year segments for each of nine previous generations commences the initial dating of the calendar sequence referenced by Adam to be about 10,000 B.C.E., or roughly 12,000 years ago or more. As a floating-king-list chronology, beginning or ending dates are ambiguous according to Gregorian calendar reckoning.
The variance is similar to that
used for tree ring dating of petrified remains.
Measured by cross-sectional viewing, tree rings add seasonal years
outward from the center of the trunk by layers.
Archaeology determines the estimated boundaries employed for start and
finish times, while tree ring analysis provides additional information
regarding climatic conditions during a more precise time span. Biblical chronology of the pre-Deluge ancestors
is more accurate by adjusting the vast floating period within the framework of
primitive agriculture and ending with the flooding stages of
The Mesoamerican Baktun 400-year l/s cycle likely relocated to the Yucatan Peninsular around 2800 B.C.E. Egyptologists have found remains of ocean going vessels that date earlier. Stelae, stepped pyramids and the lunar/solar calendar parallels all indicate some cultural transference took place.
The primary 130-year age of Adam is the foremost bridge joining the age of Adam to the 260-year-sacred-cycle. Other parallels exist between the Biblical genealogy of Adam through to Noah and the numerical time computations of the ancient Sun Kingdoms' Calendars. Clear patterns demonstrate the relationship between chronologies of Genesis with the Mesoamerican Calendars. Parallel trends numerically match days and years for the generations of Adam. Figure 11 indicates the triune components found with 365-days in the year, and the identical three-way numbering of 365-years. Ancient 260-day-sacred-years so often seen in the carvings, and idioms of the Mesoamericans, directly embellish use of the 260-year-sacred-cycle. Time splitting after 130-days cleaves the 260-day-sacred-year into equal halves. Numerically matched, the 260-year-sacred-cycle separates for equal halves after 130-years.
Figure 11 shows matched days and years. The upper right pie subdivision of figure 11 represents the daylight 130-day and 130-year dual units of time. An opposite 130-day and 130-year left side half is shaded to mature the entire 260-day-sacred-year. The figure shows a 260-year-sacred-cycle in similar fashion. The whole 365-day-solar-year subtracts 260-days of a sacred-year. The complete 365-year series subtracts a 260-year-sacred-cycle under the circle diagram. At the bottom of the graph, 105-days and the matched 105-year elements, finalize the 365-day and 365-year durations, respectively.

Consider the posture of Adam's calendar age amongst the many theological doctrines that are now at our service. Two significant topics are open for further discussion and inquiries. In the first viewpoint, the same almighty God that created Adam disseminated calendar information to Adam as ordained principle. Secondly, conjecture rationalizes that the man, Adam, developed the complex calendar order on his own merit. Most provoking is the latent question we are forced to grapple with -- how long did it take to adopt an accurate calendar of this magnitude and array? Arbitration includes that time keeping by lunar/solar recording process held paramount importance with farming disciplines.
Albeit a conservative estimate, we must accept that ingrained 800-year Generation Cycles, along with the required astronomy, mathematics, and communication skills were necessary to transfer such astonishing information down through the society. Any time scale of these epic proportions surely must expound a people with remarkable abilities, and far in excess of present agreements for prehistoric man in the absolute. The ages recorded for Adam and his descendants underline a culture that we can barely begin to fathom. Endowed to early man was amazing understanding indeed. These people were far beyond what evolution of the species seems to suggest. Intelligence is an adaptive process rather than a gradual production.
Greek writings that regress the 1,460-year Sothic cycle are the basis for Egyptian chronology that begins between 4,241 B.C.E. and 4,236 B.C.E. Dates for the Exodus and Ramses II support accepted chronologies. Egyptologists are certain that the Egyptian star and solar-side calendar had a lunar-side counterpart. The Egyptian solar calendar and the Enochian calendar might be far older. Introduction of Mesoamerican Calendar patterns is a novel approach to chronology.
The three ancient calendars braid together to strongly encourage viewpoints of Creationism. Those that wrote this knowledge down, so that it appears in our Bibles today, were smart enough to prove a quite articulate calendar system was already in place at the onset of Adam's 130-year primary age. Furthermore, they may have explored and exposed themselves to other possibilities of time and spatial relationships that we have not yet realized. Treat these items of calendar research with respect and caution since the overall impact on religion or science cannot be fully determined. Many accepted scientific facts reflect prevailing opinions, which may construed as testimony. The Word uses testimony to speak to society.
The blunt interpretation is “if it looks like a duck, quacks like duck, and walks like a duck…it probably is a duck.” The calendar numbers written are about time in the common vocabulary and understandings of ancient people. They thought of time as consisting of cyclic, recurrent phenomena. Threads of time symbolically link birth, life and death coincidental with archaic calendar observation. Supernatural attributes of calendar study may lend new future uses. Consensus testimony then defines the social profit.
The Bible is always a known reference for historical and mystical
events. Believers acknowledge that the Lord is the final say. We examine major or minor experiences in
order to know Him better. Common denominators exist to tie evidence
with testimony. The Old Testament preserves important revelations with the
calendar. In the New Testament, again we see careful mention of precise time
references. Miracles by Jesus attach deeply with Jewish
holidays. Jesus has been called the second Adam (Luke
Figure 11 shows the divided relationship of the independent 260-day-sacred-year. Numerical matching permits the single term having 130-days-and-years to describe the primary age of Adam. The right half represents the visible portion of 130-days and 130-years assigned to Adam within the 260-day-sacred-year and 260-year-sacred-year. Contrasting the primary age of Adam was the shaded portion on the left portion of figure 11. Lunar/solar calendars distinguished between daylight-solar-side and night-lunar-side intervals of time. Like the 260-day-sacred-year, two halves of 130-years together specified the 260-year-sacred-cycle. Later sequences based on lunar/solar separation times bisect time measurements for the values of 260-days and 260-years.
Genesis 5:3 quotes the primary age of Adam verbatim for the circle drawn in figure 11. Calendar recording thousands of years ago employed complex mathematics and astronomy. Establishing the prototype divisions of bisected 260-day and 260-year intervals directly exemplifies lunar/solar separation times. Years of 360-days each differentiate from 260-day-sacred-years. The lower portion of figure 11 shows 105-days and 105-years to be the remaining time.
Genesis 5:6 quotes the primary age of Seth verbatim for figure 11. The single numerical term introduces the 105-year primary age of Seth. Seth is the first recorded character after Adam in the lineage. The interesting scriptures omit famed Abel and Cain from the calendar records. Cain killed Abel, the first-born son (Gen. 4:8). Seth was the appointed seed to replace Abel. Seth would have been heir to all rights and responsibilities of the first-born son. Significant calendar times assigned eras to monarchy and deities. Note the lunar/solar design applies to Mesoamerican calendars.

Figure 12 below shows that a shaded 130-year is half of a 260-year-sacred-cycle. Tools from the Sun Kingdoms' Calendars verify 130-years correlate with the primary 130-year age of Adam. The midpoint 360-day-year was the chosen standard practice to center the year between lunar years of 354-days or 355-days, and 365-day-solar-years. The 360-day midpoint length of year dominates the ages recorded for Adam's line of descendants. Figure 12 is equivalent to the figure 11 primary 130-year age of Adam that uses 360-days per year.
Jewish and Egyptian calendars key upon use of a 360-day type of year. The phrase: “Years of years” enabled ancient lunar/solar calendars to extend with 360-years in midpoint kind of yearly cycle. A 19-year, or 20-year l/s cycle, admitted 105-days of lunar-side intercalary time split to reach the perfect center. Another 105-day of intercalary solar-side time split finalized the l/s cycle. The Jewish Calendar inserts 7 months, whereas the Egyptian Calendar aligns more with Mesoamerican calendars. The Katun 20-year l/s cycle amounts 105-days for the solar-side time split.

Genesis 5:3 "And Adam lived an hundred and

Seth:"
To explain the calendar system used for recording ages involving Adam and Seth, the same pattern must apply to the later generations of Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, and Enoch. Attention to the 260-day-sacred-year inspired mathematical disciplines found in the extreme past calendars. Conversions are required to allow reconstruction of this very ancient form of calendar. Exchanging 365-day-solar-years with 260-day-sacred-years includes the idea of using 360-day lengths of years. The Egyptians and the Mesoamericans added a special period having 5-feast-days to finish the 365-day-solar-year. Recall the 5-day Wayeb feast period adds the last of 73-sacred-years in the 52-year Mayan Calendar Round. There would also be 73 Katun 20-year l/s cycles in a Sothic Cycle having 1,460 years (Eqn. 31). The ultimate riddle of time combines 260-day-Tzolken sacred-years with 360-day-Tun-years. Numerical matching specifically applies to key time cycles of the Bible, Egyptian and Mesoamerican calendars.
Numerical matching relates a middle position having 360-day-years with a cycle having 360-sacred-years. The given primary 130-year age of Adam is in 360-day lengths of years. Written expressions of an impressive culture discover conversions from 360-day-years to 260-day-sacred-years. A conversion is necessary from years having 360-days each to 260-day-sacred-years. The primary 130-year age of Adam multiplies by 360-day-Tun-years to find the equivalent 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year units.
Figure 13 is the mathematical equivalent diagram for showing the primary 130-year age of Adam in terms of 260-day-sacred-years. Exchanges between 360-day-Tun-years and 260-day-sacred-years are needed to progress through the genealogy of Adam. Dual units of measurement are the pedestal of the Mesoamerican 52-year Calendar Round.

Converted 180-Sacred-Year Primary Age of Adam
Conversion of 130-years to sacred-years incorporates finding the total days of the primary age, and dividing by 260-day-sacred-years. The 260-day-sacred-year always holds constant. The remarks below determine the mathematical equivalency of a primary 130-year age, written for Adam, and bisecting 260-years in a sacred cycle. The 260-year-sacred-cycle is equal to the converted 360-sacred-years. The time split tool divides the 260-year-sacred-cycle into halves. The result is the same number of days in the converted 180-sacred-years. The 360-day length of year and 360-sacred-year-cycle embody the rules for conversions.
Figure 13 imitates the figure 12 circle diagram by multiplying 130-years of 360-days to achieve 46,800-days (Eqn. 32). Conversion to 180-sacred-years finishes with dividing 260-day-sacred-years into 46,800 days (Eqn. 33). On the right-hand side of figure 13, the converted primary 180-sacred-year age equates to half of a 360-sacred-year-cycle having 260-day-sacred-years.
The ability to calculate the number of 260-day-sacred-years enriches the same calendar format for various cultures. Different intercalation methods following the 360-day midpoint type of year apply l/s reckoning. In the case of Judaism, a portable lunar-side system intercalated days based upon lunar months. Egyptian and Mesoamerican calendars adapted lunar reckoning to add solar-side days to the end of 360-days per year. The exact method of intercalation may have been inconsistent. The 360-day midpoint type is a general rule of thumb. Distinct areas and the popular method of intercalation was a result of prevailing worship and opinions. Calendar fragments survive embedded in the Bible, mythology and tradition.
We are able to convert different lengths of years into 260-day-Tzolken-sacred- years by the same formula. For example, multiplying 130-years by the adjustable length of days per year alters the sacred-year age. Half of the 260-year-sacred-cycle results in 130-years multiplying by 364-days per year for 47,320 days (Eqn. 34). Dividing by the constant 260-day-sacred-year will convert 130-years to 182-sacred years when the given length of year changes to 364 days (Eqn. 35). A year of 365-days multiplies by 130-years for 47,450-days (Eqn. 36). The identical process divides again by the constant 260-day-sacred-years to convert 130-years to 182.5-sacred-years (Eqn. 37). Examining numerical values of the chronology is more flexible through conversions for different lengths of years.
Substitutions involving lunar/solar numbers are another useful tool to help describe the lineage following Adam. The Katun 20-year l/s cycle resulted in 210-days of lunar/solar separation time. The solar-side component is 105-days. The 20-year Katun l/s cycle squares to achieve a Baktun 400-year l/s cycle. The outcome of a 400-year Baktun l/s cycle is 210-years of lunar/solar separation time. Identical techniques of numerical matching allow substituting 210-years of lunar/solar separation time or 105-years of solar-side time split for every 400-year Baktun l/s cycle. The substitution concept defines the exact placement of l/s Baktun cycles regarding the secondary age category.
Doubling the 400-year-Baktun-cycle attains 800-years in the Generation cycle. Lunar/solar separation time likewise doubles from 210-years to 420-years for every 800-year Generation cycle. The same approach doubles the half values of solar-side time split from 105-years to 210-years-solar-side time split. Supplemental stages for the Patriarchs later add finite terms to the total l/s progression.
The sequence of lunar/solar calendar operations for the Antediluvian Patriarchs begins with Adam. There are seven sacred time seals. The primary 130-year age of Adam first halves the 260-year-sacred-cycle. The first 400-year-Baktun l/s cycle in the secondary age category produces 210-years of lunar/solar separation time. The comparative first 105-years of solar-side time split substitutes for the first Baktun 400-year l/s cycle. The second 400-year-Baktun l/s cycle adds 105-years more of solar-side time split. Two 400-year-Baktun l/s cycles constitute one 800-year Generation Cycle. The secondary age category for Adam is one 800-year Generation Cycle. The corresponding solar-side time split total is 210-years.
Seth is the second Antediluvian Patriarch after Adam. All subsequent characters after Adam derive their primary age category values by halving earlier l/s ages. Lunar/solar substitutions follow traditional math guidelines. The first 800-year Generation Cycle completes the secondary age category for Adam and the first sacred time seal. Two Mayan 400-year-Baktun l/s cycles attain 210-years of solar-side time split. The transition to Seth then halves 210-years to gain the primary 105-year age of Seth.
The lineage from Adam to Enoch in Genesis 5:3 consists of seven named characters. Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared and Enoch express lunar/solar calendar origins. The ages for each named character document the oldest calendar records of humanity. Lunar/solar calendar tools such as numerical matching, total l/s separation times and the time split tool inclusively serve our purpose in analyzing the genealogy ages following Adam. Essential patterns from the Mesoamerican calendar system include both 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-years and 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycles. Exchange calculations to 360-day midpoint types of years, 364-day-years and the standard 365-day-solar-year augment our ability to decode the ancient calendar.
Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel and Jared each list two specific ages. The primary age measures from birth to fatherhood. The secondary age measures from fatherhood, or birth of the next named son, until death. Two categories facilitate individual treatment for each named character in the l/s calendar chain. Primary ages constitute one category and secondary ages form the latter category.
Terminology employed identifies components of lunar/solar calendars. The primary age category from Adam to Jared refers to key divisions of the 260-year-sacred-cycle. Specific Bible ages do not sum, or total, until the 260-year-sacred-cycle is complete. Lunar/solar separation times alternate with halves and quarters of the 260-year-sacred-cycle. Adam first halves the 260-year-sacred-cycle with 130-years in the primary age category. The solar-side separation time is the cumulative solar-side separation for two 400-year-Baktun-cycles. Two 210-year lunar/solar separations amount 420-years of l/s separation time for Seth. The result is 210-years of solar-side time split. The next generation of Seth halves 210-years of solar-side time split to produce 105-years of solar-side time split in the same primary age category.
Baktun 400-year cycles increment the secondary age category in steps. The first 400-year-Baktun-cycle by Adam signifies a l/s reference that defines the solar-side time split by Seth. The second 400-year-Baktun-cycle of Adam’s 800-year-Generation-cycle indicates the first half of the 260-year-sacred-cycle, which is 130-years. Seth’s third 400-year-Baktun-cycle in the secondary age category divides 210-years of solar-side time split into equal 105-year halves. The fourth 400-year-Baktun-cycle by Seth in the secondary age category completes two 105-year halves of solar-side separation time split in the primary age category.
