Primary Ages of Adam and Seth - Part 2

Primary 105-Year Age of Seth

Genesis 5:6 provides the primary 105 year age of Seth.

"And Seth lived an hundred and five years,

and begat Enos:"

The primary 105-year age of Seth completes the 365-year calendar pattern. Seth (Seti) was 105 years old at the time of fathering Enos, the next "begat" descendant of Adam. Figure 11 shows that 365-day-solar-years numerically match 365-year-solar-cycles. Seth's 105-year primary age numerically matches with 105 days in a 365-day long year.

The 100-years of difference between a 260-year-sacred-cycle and a 360-year period imply that 105-years in the primary age of Seth parallels a related number of days. Seth's primary age of 100-years, plus five-years, emphasizes association of days and years in a single numerical term and connects the two time intervals in the extreme past. "And all the days of .... were .... years" excerpts agreement between archaic Jewish and Egyptian calendars. Jewish calendar years for the Antediluvian Patriarchs associate by numerical content days and years with the Egyptian Sothic Cycle.

The personified Seth of the Bible illustrates certain elements of an Egyptian mythological deity. Seth ties the primary age of the Patriarchs listed to Sothic Calendar dating as the founder of lunar/solar time keeping methods. The Abydos triad consisted of Osirus, his sister and consort goddess Isis and their son Horus. Seth was the brother of the fertility god, Osiris. Much of the known mythology survives from papyrus texts following Pre-Dynastic Egypt, which ends about 3,100 B.C.E. Chronographers rely upon significant cross-references for Old Testament dating. Mesoamerican calendars superimpose patterns over the ancient legend.

The Seth of Egyptian lore murdered Osirus. A bitter rivalry ensued between Seth and Horus over inheritance. Seth fought to control his birthright Upper Egypt of the Old Kingdom. Horus was the first-born son of Osirus and claimed to be the heir apparent. Horus, often identified with king Menes, ultimately defeated Seth and united Upper and Lower Egypt. Some versions of the story say that Horus avenged his father’s death by killing Seth. Seth and Horus finally reconcile in other versions. Semitic Baal weighs against Seth for Egyptians and his female counterpart, Nephthys is a variant of the goddess, Astarte or Astaroth. Osiris becomes a god who presides in judgment before sin confessions of the dead. Horus rules as a benevolent god for the living.

The rightful heir of the first-born son and the brotherly conflict are pieces of the scripture calendar puzzle. Osirus is the son of earth-god Geb and the sky-goddess Nut. Egyptian mythology resurrects Osirus from 14 parts to teach agricultural skills. Nut has lover named Thoth. In a game, Thoth wins 1/72 of the moon every day from her. Thoth combines the 72-lunar-parts into 5-days and adds them to the original Egyptian calendar of 360-days.

Nighttime, underworld relationships of Osirus with the moon is indisputable. Measuring 14-lunar-parts in two weeks reveals returning lunar visibility. Osirus returns to hear cries from the underworld once again. Lunar months measure the growing and harvest times of the year.

Mesoamerican calendars reiterate Thoth’s lunar collections. Both Egyptian and Mayan Calendars commonly include 5-special-days of feasting. The 52-year Calendar Round consists of 73-sacred-years. One final sacred-year results after 72-sacred-years from the difference between 365-day-Haab-years and 360-day-Tun-years.

The 360-day midpoint length of year was a standard that fell midway between a 12-month-lunar-year and the 365-day-solar-year. Five special feast days add to a 360-day length of year. The primary age of Seth is 100-years with 5-years extra that bear special place-value significance. Seth’s primary age adds 100-years to a 260-year sacred cycle in order to achieve the 360-year midpoint length of year. Five special years add to complete the 365-year combination that includes both primary ages of Adam and Seth. According to Eidemann's Commentary on the Bible, we note mention taken from the Exegesis that written information was literally on the columns of Seth.

Lunar/solar calendar tools prove useful in evaluating the primary 105-year age of Seth. Precious knowledge from the Mesoamerican calendars opens new validity for using the time split tool and numerical matching. The time split tool divides a 260-year-sacred-cycle in figures 12 and 13. The primary 130-year age of Adam results as we reconstruct the lunar/solar calendar. Numerical matching days and years is the calendar tool that helps define ages for Adam and his son, Seth. From the time of Adam's beginning to the age that he "begat" Seth, we have 130-days and 130-years in the designated primary age of Adam. A 260-day-sacred-year and 260-year-sacred-cycle are Mesoamerican components. The upper right pie subdivision of figure 12 represents the parallel theme of 130-day and 130-year dual units of time.

The graph indicates three intervals that complete 365-days-and-years in a single numerical term. Primary ages for Adam and Seth utilize 365-days that confirm the 260-day-sacred year. In the same manner, 365-years were a numerical model using the 260-year-sacred-cycle. The final 105-years complete a 365-year-solar-cycle following the 260-year-sacred-cycle.

The splitting of time continues with the next layer of calendar progression. Numerical matching was again evident. A 20-year lunar/solar calendar is the source that yields 210-days of lunar/solar separation time. The time split applies to divide 210-days of the 20-year l/s cycle into 105-day halves. The lunar-side and solar-time splits are 105-days each. Seth’s primary age 105-days and years is a single numerical term. The 20-year l/s cycle reinforces 105-days following 260-days with another 105-day solar-side time split.

An analogy of tossing a stone into a quiet pond may describe concentric cycles of time. Ancients viewed time as ever widening circles. The primary 130-year age of Adam is the center point where the stone strikes the pond. Waves radiate outward exactly as time expands for a lunar/solar calendar. Significant waves are the month, year, 20-years and the 400-year Mesoamerican calendar cycles.

Reasoning follows that similar time split treatments apply when the lunar/solar calendar expands. A Mayan Baktun encompasses 400-years in a greater lunar/solar cycle. Figure 14 discovers the next time split level of calendar strata. The Sun Kingdoms' Calendars used 400-year l/s cycles to record separation times. The 20-year cycle of figure 5 extends for 20 multiples of 20-year cycles, or 400-years in figure 14 (Eqn. 38). Each 400-year period is a single Mayan Baktun. The right-hand side shows the solar-side time split of a 400-year Baktun. The lunar-side of the 400-year Baktun period appears on the left. Repeating 360-day midpoint lengths of years 20 times 20-years each attains 210-years of lunar/solar separation time. Lunar-side and solar-side time splits amount 105-days each (Eqn. 39 and 40). The same rules for figuring lunar/solar separation apply by squaring time. The primary 105-year age of Seth reinforces 105-days.

210-Year Time Split for 400-Years Figure 14

The 400-year Baktun in figure 14 centers the midpoint 360-years to specify lunar/solar separation time. Lunar/solar separation returns 210-years to be time split in half. The left-hand 105-years assign to the feminine half of lunar/solar separation (Eqn. 40). A solar-side time split 105-years is on the right-hand side. The summary assigns 105-years solar-side reckoning to the masculine half of lunar/solar separation time (Eqn. 39). The 400-year Baktun is instrumental to the secondary age category. By this token, 360-years are the midpoint between 354.75-years of lunar-side time and 365.25-years of solar-side time. Figure 14 rounds to the whole numbers 354-lunar-years and 365-solar-years for consistency.

Suppose you are one of the people recording the sky events. Modern chronology puts the date at 4,000 B.C.E. Since you are making the first calendar, you do not have any previous information to go by. There is no technology. There are no fancy computers to make calculations or store anything. There are no watches or telescopes to make your job any easier. You are busy trying to eek out a living from the soil. Your family needs to know when to plant seeds for crops, expect the rainy season and when to harvest. Your family is fortunate enough to raise a few cows and some sheep. Science tells us the life expectancy for people back then was maybe 35 years old.

At the age of fifteen, your father hands you the book of the holy writings. He tells you to watch carefully the positions of the moon and stars and to write them down. Every night you watch the moon change with the lunar phases. You record the moon’s course against a starry background. You cannot get much sleep because in the daytime you are watching exactly where the sun rises and sets on the horizon. Day after day, year after year, you write down the rising and setting directions. You document the transit of the sun and note the positions of the stars.

You notice the sun has returned approximately to the same beginning place at the ripe age of 35. The whole process seems to repeat. You hand down the holy writings to your son when he turns fifteen. For the next twenty years, your son watches the sky and writes the same information. He passes it on to his son, and he does exactly the same thing. Your family keeps track of these records for twenty generations. After 400-years, one of your great-grandchildren, ad infinitum, notices the sun comes back to the original position, less a fraction of a degree. Knowledge of the stars and constellations generates religion in nearby villages. Word of the holy writings begins to spread and your family achieves royal status. Actual observation of the heavens is the only way to make the lunar/solar calendar.

A family or dynasty living in Egypt requires meticulous observation over 73 generations to make just one 1,460 year Sothic Cycle calendar. Traditional chronology credits King Djoser of the third dynasty with introducing the 365-day-solar-year in 2650 B.C.E. Djoser (Netjerykhet ) ruled between 2668-2649 B.C.E. and built the first stone Step Pyramid at Saqqara. Your family continues to make improvements on the calendar system.

Ptolemy III, (280-221 B.C.E.) officially included leap day calculations. His Canopus decree in 238 B.C.E. adds one day every four years to correct the gradual drift of winter feasts through the year. Leap Day adds a single day every four years to the existing winter solstice 5-day Feast of the Walking Stick. Feast of the Walking Stick celebrates the end of the 360-day-year. Romans would later rename the feast to Saturnalia. The family has been observing the motions of the heavens for over 3,000 years. Anyone in this simple example only had one opportunity to relay the information accurately down to his or her heirs.

There are some housekeeping issues to think about before going further. We must respect the attitudes and opinions of many people, past and present. Heritage and legacy esteem ancestors regardless of whoever they may be. There is more at stake than what meets the eye. Until now, these calendar numbers; the tools, numerical matching, and lunar-side and solar-side time splits are merely fragments of calendar patterns. They are all notes of the same song, time. We have recognized the Almighty God while exacting calendar information from diverse culture and other religions. Deities, gods and kings have played differing roles in calendar development. Beliefs in the afterlife and resurrection of the righteous affect religion.

The Holy Bible mentions polytheism and adverse spirituality. Negative connotations surround characters such as Seth and Enoch. The favor of God bestows blessings. The wrath of God is a curse to endure. Delving into the distant past exposes both beneficial and malevolent tendencies. Many layers of time have passed to soften and diffuse the supernatural works showcased by the Exodus. Miracles in the New Testament significantly changed Greek and Roman perceptions. Calendar research excavates deeply about foundational social structures.

The concept of professional ethics is mandatory. Safety and security for everyone are prime concerns in conjunction with sheer calendar numbers. Calendar science accesses intangible resources from the time stream that may touch other lives. The subjective nature of time makes possible the grandiose and sublime. Grace empowers us to know morally right from wrong. This quest directly seeks the spirit of the Holy Bible. Existing theology is always an asset that preserves basic human rights and justice for all. Ultimate social profit is the desired end.

The pyramid depicted in figure 6 shows the all-seeing eye associated with Osirus and the 1,461-year Sothic Cycle. The eye is similar to the eye appearing on the back of a United States one-dollar bill. Our founding fathers realized the significance of Egyptian mythology. Changes to the older Roman Julian Calendar in 1,582 A.D. to the Gregorian Calendar left colonists with mixed religious feelings. Hence, Constitutional directives called for the freedom of religion and the separation of church and state. Any changes to the 365-day-solar-year calendar can reverberate through time for literally hundreds of years.

The above example shows the gravity of profound calendar change. Historians usually indicate the Sothic Cycle lasting 1,460-years. Figure 6 cites the Sothic Cycle to be 1,461-years. In the text, a 364-day-year seems odd for people so advanced. The reason behind listing 364-days as opposed to 365-days for a solar year is the simple 1-day to 1-year concept of numerical matching. After King Djoser in the third dynasty, Egyptologists are sure 5-special-days were included following the 360-day midpoint, or Tun-year, of the Mesoamerican calendars. The Mayan calendar provides background l/s calendar information to aid our study. Lunar/separation times are crucial to the ancient past.

The 364-day calendar year is the ancient Jewish Jubilee calendar year. A 364-day calendar year is also the forerunner of the Egyptian Sothic Cycle calendar. Judaism tended to follow lunar reckoning in contrast to the Egyptians using solar reckoning. Within Judaism, both lunar and solar schools of thought were evident. Lunar/solar calendars permit application of the Mesoamerican calendar branch. One cannot abandon chronology. At this point, we must surpass existing chronology. We are moving into pre-history to study the calendar of the Antediluvian Patriarchs in detail.

New Year (Rosh Hashanah) in the Jubilee calendar year begins at sunset on the vernal equinox, March 21. Unlike the modern version, sunset on March 22 is the first day of the seventh month in the Torah Jubilee Year (Lev. 23:24-27). On the tenth day of the same month, the Day of Atonement is the most solemn of Jewish holidays. The modern Jewish Calendar observes Rosh Hashanah according to the autumnal equinox.

The Jubilee calendar year incorporates 10-days of l/s separation time. The difference between a 354-day-lunar-year and a modified 364-day Enochian Sect year is 10-days. An explicit 365-day-solar-year results in 11-days of l/s separation. The consistent notion of cascaded time is imperative to the ancient Jubilee year. The time stream, natural and supernatural, flows between the lunar-side and solar-side of the calendar. This supreme religious philosophy has guarded and preserved the spiritual realm for eternity.

The four cardinal points of the year wield authority over the entire solar-side of the calendar. Two equinoxes and two solstices exhibit the viewpoint of having four different Jewish new years. The minimum and maximum daylight periods during the year’s regular course each represent the beginning of four seasons. The calendar year of Enoch likewise divides into four equal 91-day quarters. Four major stars command the heavenly circuit and luminaries. They represent individual cascaded control for a single day over three 30-day months per quarter. Enoch, in heavenly visions, describes the “secret year”. All principalities, heaven and earth, are subject to 364-years, which constitute numerical matching with 364-days. One final day each year accumulates to empower the capstone 364-day calendar year by Enoch.

Genesis lists the Antediluvian Patriarchs in sequential order. Established chronologies transfix a linear, solar-year number line format to ages recorded for Adam and his offspring. Application of lunar/solar calendars extracts calendar fragments in the original ancient style. There are two theological issues at stake.

The lineage of Adam is a Judeo-Christian core belief. To introduce lunar/solar calendar tools boldly amends accepted chronology and the greater impact upon humanity. Lost civilizations sought vigorously to record and preserve sacred calendar information. Some manuscripts are the product of recopied information many times over. The written knowledge may be far older than the document’s physical age. Ancient texts have value by virtue of their antiquity. Supreme intent will accommodate the differing skill mix and faith eschatology of multiple cultures.

A unified theory of lunar/solar comparisons accesses supernatural influences. This material tightly focuses upon the seams and joints of time. Religious experiences and revelation fill the Holy Bible. Nearly every shred of testimony and miraculous deed combines the eternal presence of God with the calendar. The will of God and the time stream follow the natural lunar-side and solar-side banks. The calendar is an intangible aspect of spiritual writings. Knowledge of the Word, in conjunction with calendar deployment elevates our personal hopes, dreams and prayers. The benefit to readers accelerates unseen thought and word. Ageless worship techniques from the masters ensure others receive requested blessings. Fervent prayer stimulates the concussion of heaven. The best practical approach elicits humility of oneself and sincerity of heart. Genuinely felt emotions and concrete visualizations will strengthen a truthful purpose.

Abstract traces in ancient mythology supplement the anthropology of past culture. Clever screening of stories retold and rewritten gives historians the opportunity to discern the more important pieces that still survive. Architecture and other physical relics discovered are studied elements of bygone days. Customs and folklore secure clearer understanding of former society. In libraries and museums, our appreciation preserves distant heritage and hopefully the future will conserve those days and things shared today.

Jewish, Egyptian and Mesoamerican calendars all adjusted a neutral 360-day length of year with intercalations. Ancient Jewry perpetuated seven-day weeks in an unceasing cycle of Sabbaths to accomplish intercalations. The Jubilee 50-year cycle counted 7-years in a Sabbath week. Each Jubilee culminated 7 cycles of 7-year-weeks for 49-years. The primary 105-year age of Seth twice repeats the Jubilee. Some writers feel the last fiftieth year was included for intercalation. Other sacred writings list two Jubilees that make 98 years, plus one additional 7-year-week for Seth. Either case numerically matches days to years with repetitive multiples to dominate l/s calendar development. Religious mythology was insistent upon the calendar mathematics of the empire.

A 260-day period comprised the agricultural sacred year that began and ended on the same dates during any standard 365-day-solar-year. The remaining 105-days every year serve to reinforce later multiples of years. The Jewish Calendar repeats the sacred number seven to describe time cycles similarly. For the 19-year Metonic cycle, about 105-days signify the solar-side time split of 19-year lunar/solar cycles. Mesoamerican calendars adapt a 20-year cycle known as a Mayan Katun cycle.

Both Egyptian and Sun Kingdoms' calendars emphasized repetitive multiples. Mesoamerican calendars used the 20-year lunar/solar cycle exclusively. These calendars multiplied the 20-year lunar/solar cycle again by 20-years to obtain “20-years of 20-years”, or 400-years of years. The ancients had no way to express 400-years of years, so they simply called them “400-years.” Multiplying the 20-years Katun l/s cycle by itself has the meaning of squaring time. A 20-year lunar/solar Katun cycle of the Mesoamerican Sun Kingdoms' calendar attributes 105-days to the solar-side and 105-days to the lunar-side of the calendar.

A Katun cycle that results in 210-days of lunar/solar separation time squares to build 210-years of lunar/solar separation time for any given 400-year Baktun period. Lunar/solar separation time matches 210-days with 210-years time split into halves for masculine and feminine time genders. Substitution can replace the 210-years of l/s separation with 400-year Baktun cycles. The 400-year-Baktun cycle forms part of the Dresden Codex.

The primary age of Adam was 130-years old at the time of fathering Seth. Adam's primary age 130-years double to complete a sacred-cycle of 260-years. The Bible matches days to years so that 130-days double to complete a Mesoamerican 260-day-sacred-year. In the pie graph of figure 11, the primary 130-year age of Adam shows relationship to the 260-year-sacred-cycle. The lower portion of figure 11 indicates the last 105-days and 105-years. Seth's primary age 105-days and 105-years compose a single matched term that serves to reinforce impression of 365-day-solar-years and 365-year-solar-cycles. Seth has the same solar-side, primary 105-year age at the time of fathering Enos.

The primary 105-year age of Seth carries significant numerical traits developed from calendar tools. The primary 130-year age of Adam first divides the 260-year-sacred-cycle. The 260-day-sacred-year parallels a 260-year-sacred-cycle. Seth's first solar-side time split 105-days add with 260-days to complete a 365-day length of year. After two 400-year-Baktuns, or an 800-year Generation Cycle, the resulting total solar-side time split is 210-years. The primary 105-year age of Seth halves 210-years to mark the first solar-side time split in the primary age category. Seth's matched time split 105-years add with a 260-year-sacred-cycle to complete the total 365-year-cycle.

The archaic Jewish Jubilee calendar was similar in concept to the Enochian Sect calendar that used 364-days. The role of the single last day every year evidences the common idea of numerical matching in ancient calendars. The cascaded notions of 105-days and 105-years, together suit a single numerical term. Solar-side time split is the determining half for 105-days and years in a single term.

In the genealogy of Genesis, Chapter 5, Seth is the first generation following Adam. Seth means founder, or originator in literal Hebrew. Seth is the baseline heir for the paternal chronology of Adam. Seth's primary 105-year age invoked the first solar-side time split following Adam's era. Solar-side time splits bisected the 260-year-sacred-cycle with the pretense of division to separate and to make holy those times to follow. Halves, and quarters of the 260-year-sacred-cycle began and terminated at intersections with solar-side time splits. Ancient eyes saw lunar/solar calendar patterns advance by watching and recording heavenly motions. The primary age category marking the halving, doubling, and dividing of time continues to Enos in the Holy of Holies sequel to Ages of Adam.
