Interesting.
Moreso:
Berosus, a Babylonian historian of 300 B.C. basing his history on archives in the Temple of Marduk, copied from primitive inscriptions, many of which have been found, named 10 long-lived kings who reigned before the Flood, each reigning from 10,000 to 60,0000 years, as: Alorus, Alaparos, Amelon, Ammenon, Megalaros, Daonos, Eudorachus, Amenpsinos, Otiartes, Xisuthros. "In the time of Xisuthr9s," says Berosus, "the Great Deluge occurred."
The Weld Prism and Nippur Tablets assigning thousands of years to each reign, name the Pre-Flood kings as:
Alulim Reigned at Eridu 28,000 years
Alalmar Reigned at Eridu 36,000 years
Emenluanna Reigned at Badgurgurru 43,000 years
Kichunna Reigned at Larsa 43,000 years
Enmengalanna Reigned Badgurgurru 29,000 years
Dumuzi Reigned at Badgurgurru 36,000 years
Sibzianna Reigned at Larak 28,000 years
Emenduranna Reigned at Sippar 21,000 years
Uburratum reigned at Shuruppak 18,000 years
Zinsuddu 64,000 years
"Then the Flood overthrew the land." |
