ALPHABETIC HISTORY of CIVILIZATION
ANCIENT and MODERN GENEALOGIES
PREFACE
This book evaluates historical knowledge as it relates to ancient and
modern genealogies.
Information gleaned from social contexts, both secular and religious, are
reviewed, using
modern genealogical research specialist standards: to properly reconstruct and
correctly
portray real historical lives and family pedigrees. Cultural, religious
and family tradition,
(their stated facts and viewpoints), are surveyed within given ancient contexts
of
primary
and secondary record sources, as handed down for the benefit of our modern
generation.
Modern claims
of genealogical attachment to biblical records are noted, with remarks.
INTRODUCTION:
Pliny the Elder, circa A.D. 23 - 79,
scholar, historian, and scientific encyclopedist,
born at Novum Comum in northern Italy but mainly resident of Rome, mentions
the Phoenicians in his thirty seven book work:
Natural History.
This record,
considered by some as the apex of ancient science after the time of the school
of Aristotle, stated that: "To the
Phoenician people belongs the glory of having
invented letters and discovered the sciences of astronomy, navigation and the
art
of war." In
Ancient
Fragments, by Isaac Preston Cory, Esq.,
mention is made
of the Greek historian previous to the Christian era, by name called Eupolemus.
This Eupolemus notes that in the tenth generation, Abraham lived in Camarina of
Babylonia [Urie], a city of the Chaldeans, and was of noble heritage and
superior
to all others in wisdom. Abraham was stated to be the inventor of
astrology and
the Chaldaean magic; esteemed of God due to his eminent and recognized piety.
Under the direction of the God of Heaven, Abraham removed and lived in
Phoenicia, and there taught the Phoenicians the motions of the sun and moon
and all other things, for which reason, he was held in great reverence, by the
Phoenician King.
Louis H. Feldman writes about "Proselytes
and 'Sympathizers' in the light
of the new inscriptions from Aphrodisias", in Revue des Etudes juives,
CXLVIII (3-4), juillet-decenbre 1989, pp. 265-305; that: "The Jews'
reputed skill in astrology may likewise have proved an attraction.
The Graeco-Jewish historian Artapanus (ca. 100 B.C.E.) (ap. Eusebius,
Praeparatio Evangelica 9.18.1) states that it was Abraham who taught
the Egyptian pharaoh the science of astrology. Similar statements are
found in pseudo-Eupolemus (ap. Eusebius, Praeparatio Evangelica
9.17.8)
and Josephus (Antiquities 1.167).
Indeed, Hadrian (Sciptores Historiae
Augustae,Quadrigae Tyrannorum 8.3)
remarks that there is no chief of a synagogue who is not an astrologer
(mathematicus), soothsayer (haruspex), or anointer (aliptes). Moreover, in
the middle of the second century, Vettius Valens, in his astrological work,
Anthologiae (2.28,29), refers to Abraham as a most wonderful astrological
authority. Furthermore, Abraham's skill in astrology is mentioned no fewer
than four times in Firmicus Maternus' fourth century astrological treatise,
the Mathesis (4: Proemium 5, 17.2, 17.5, and 18.1). Firmicus'
contemporary
Julian (Contra Galilaeos 356C) remarks that Abraham employed the method
of divination from shooting stars and from the flight of birds. Since, we
may
remark, proselytes are regarded as children of Abraham, himself the first
proselyte, they would presumably identify with him as an astrologer."
Critical analysis of evidence discussed within these records shows
some
historical
validity of the existence of an Abraham, connected with knowledge
of planetary
motions, practice of an internationally recognized religious priesthood,
as well
as being a teacher and communicator through letters and writings. Secondary
evidence is thus provided for the statement given in The Book of Abraham,
translated
from papyrus by Joseph Smith,
Jr., from Chapter 1, Verse 31; namely:
"But the records of the fathers, even the
patriarchs, concerning the right of Priesthood,
the Lord my God
preserved in mine own hands; therefore a knowledge of the beginning
of the creation, and also of the planets,
and of the stars, as they were made known unto
the fathers, have I
kept even unto this day, and I shall endeavor to write some
of these
things upon this record, for the benefit of my
posterity that shall come after me."
The Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. received Hebrew language education, by the
instructions
of the erudite Jew, Joshua Seixas, whose family pedigree is listed and recorded
in the
book:
First American Jewish Families,
by Rabbi Malcolm H. Stern, FASG.
Additional secondary evidence comes from the Grammar & Alphabet
of the
Egyptian
Language, in which the ancient patriarchs are listed:
Phah eh The first man, or Adam,
coming from Adam -
Keys or right over Patriarchal right by appointment;
Also know as: Ba eth Ka - Adam or the first man, or first king
Ba eth Kee The next from Adam, one ordained under him,
a patriarch or the right of the first born [Seth]
Ba eth Ki The third patriarch: or right of the
first born [Enos]
Ba eth Ko The fourth patriarch from Adam the right of
first born [Cainan]
Ba eth Ku The fifth high priest from Adam [Mahalaleel]
The Pearl of Great Price
and Book of Abraham
indicate "the book of Abraham should
be evaluated on the basis of what it claims to be—Abraham's own account of his
life."
The Deseret News, Salt Lake City, November 27, 1967, notes the
finding of eleven
papyrus fragments, in the NYC Metropolitan Museum of Art. The back of the
papyri
were pasted down to paper with "drawings of a temple and maps of the Kirtland,
Ohio
area." An affidavit of
Emma Smith stated that these papyri had been in the
possession
of Joseph Smith, Jr. According to this
source, the Biblical creation story, the deluge,
"the records of the fathers,
even the patriarchs,"
appear therefore as genealogical
primary source records, transcribed by Abraham from
"preserved" and "kept"
data,
handed down from generation to generation. As noted by the History of
the Church,
Vol. 2, Ch. 17, p. 236-238, July 1835,
Joseph Smith, Jr. determined that "one of
the
rolls contained the writings of Abraham, another the writings of Joseph of
Egypt"
and he "was continually engaged in translating an alphabet to the Book of
Abraham,
and arranging a grammar of the Egyptian language as practiced by the ancients."
From a genealogical research standpoint, "arranging a grammar of the Egyptian
language as practiced by the ancients", suggests that all the ancient
patriarchs,
beginning with Adam, the Ancient of Days, were skilled in the art of record
keeping.
This thought is further clarified in the Book of Moses, P of GP, Chapter
6, verses 5-8:
"And a abook
of bremembrance
was kept, in the which was recorded, in the
clanguage
of Adam, for it was given unto as many as called upon God to write by the spirit
of dinspiration;
And by them their achildren
were taught to read and write, having
a blanguage
which was cpure
and undefiled. Now this same
aPriesthood,
which was
in the beginning, shall be in the end of the world also. Now this
prophecy Adam spake,
as he was moved upon by the
aHoly Ghost, and a
bgenealogy was
kept of the cchildren
of God. And this was the
dbook
of the generations of Adam, saying: In the day that
God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;" The KJV Bible
record declares
in Exodus, Chapter 24, verse 4: "And Moses
awrote all the
words of the LORD . . .",
of which in Chapter 5, verse 1 of Genesis, Moses recorded: "THIS
is the abook
of the
bgenerations
of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the
clikeness of God
dmade
he him; " The cross comparison of information shows a correct
match of Biblical
Genesis, Chapter 5, verse 1, with The Pearl of Great Price, Book of Moses,
Chapter 6,
verse 8. Clearly, internal source evidence suggests
primary source
documents, or
copies thereof, going back to the time of Adam and (Eve - the Mother of all
Living),
were available to Moses, who then wrote or copied them for himself and other
Israelites.
GENEALOGIES:
A Master Number beginning with three digits is given to the direct line
descending stem. All other descending lineages are ordered according to
where they connect into the direct line of descent as sons or daughters.
They have a dash (-) to show the connection. The Numbers are arranged
by time of birth in the family, where possible, with the direct descendant
being placed where he or she belongs by order of birth. In cases of long
and questionable pedigrees, the lineage is shown descending down, but
with no numbering system attached. Added commentary is author's opinion.

The Eternal FATHER - ELOHIM - ELOHEIM
Family of Ahman: God, the Eternal Father
Marriages: God, by definition, is a couple, or husband and wife (wives)
combination. When the Father said He created Man; male
and female created He them, in His own image, it means:
My immortal wife and I created our children in the image
of ourselves. Each and every person born on this earth has
a spirit body of contained intelligence: a spirit child of God.
Ahman, a glorified, immortal Man, in the Meridian of Time,
physically associated with the mortal Mary, who was over-
come by the Holy Ghost, becoming the literal physical and
spiritual Father of Jesus Christ, The Only Begotten Son.
The Eternal Father was married or priesthood sealed to Mary,
the mortal mother of Jesus Christ,
prior to her conception: for
that which was conceived in her was of the
cHoly Ghost. Joseph,
a
literal descendant of King
bDavid,
without fear, took Mary
to wife and became the mortal stepfather of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ was the eldest born spirit child of God, the Eternal Father,
in the spirit Kingdom or
Preexistence residence of the family of Man.
Jesus Christ is the Elder brother of all mankind that will live on this earth.
001-002: Billions of spirit children of Heavenly Father who refused
to follow
Jesus Christ in the spirit Kingdom. These non embodied spirits followed
Lucifer, or Satan, in the
Preexistence and are numbered as one-third
of the the spirit children designated by Ahman to inhabit this earth.
001-003: Billions of spirit children of Heavenly Father who have
been born,
are now living, or will ever be born upon this earth. Sufficiently true
and faithful to God in the
Preexistence Kingdom, these spirits obtained
the right of receiving mortal bodies, in an earthly probationary state.
001-004: An innumerable,
incalculable , countless
, immeasurable by man,
forever infinitely increasing number of spirit children of Heavenly Father,
residing on millions of aearths
like this, (or, on earths glorified to a
Celestial,
Terrestrial, or
Telestial post mortal state); or in the spirit world residence of
Heavenly Father, awaiting their time to come to future probationary earths.
Moses 1: 37-39
And the Lord God spake unto Moses, saying: The
aheavens,
they are many, and they cannot be numbered unto man; but they are numbered
unto me, for they are mine. And as one earth shall pass away, and the
heavens
thereof even so shall another come; and there is no
aend to my
works, neither
to my words. For behold, this is my
awork
and my bglory—to
bring to pass the

001-005: Spirit children of Heavenly Father, who
willfully deny the Holy Ghost testimony
of Jesus Christ: The Only Begotten Son of God; putting Him to an
open shame.

President
Joseph Smith, Jr. delivered a discourse

Saints at the April conference of the Church, 1844, at the funeral sermon of
Elder
King Follett. He said: "God himself was once as we are now, and is an
exalted man,
and sits enthroned in yonder heavens! That is the great secret. If
the veil were rent
today, and the great God who holds this world in its orbit, and who upholds all
worlds
and all things by his power, was to make himself visible,—I say, if you were to
see him
today, you would see him like a man in form—like yourselves in all the person,
image,
and very form as a man; for Adam was created in the very fashion, image and
likeness
of God, and received instruction from, and walked, talked and conversed with
him,
as one man talks and communes with another. . . . It is the first principle of
the Gospel
to know for a certainty the Character of God, and to know that we may converse
with
him as one man converses with another, and that he was once a man like us; yea,
that
God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ
himself
did; and I will show it from the Bible."

Also,

______________________________________________________________
No lesson is more manifest in nature than that all living things do as
the Lord commanded in the Creation. They reproduce "after their own kind."
(See
Moses 2:12, 24.)
They follow the pattern of their parentage. Everyone
knows that; every four-year-old knows that! A bird will not become an
animal
nor a fish. A mammal will not beget reptiles, nor "do men gather … figs of
thistles."
(Matt.
7:16.)
In the countless billions of opportunities in the reproduction of living things,
one
kind does not beget another. If a species ever does cross, the offspring
cannot
reproduce. The pattern for all life is the pattern of the parentage.
This is demonstrated in so many obvious ways, even an ordinary mind should
understand it. Surely no one with reverence for God could believe that His
children
evolved from slime or from reptiles. (Although one can easily imagine that
those
who accept the theory of evolution don't show much enthusiasm for genealogical
research!) The theory of evolution, and it is a theory, will have an
entirely different
dimension when the workings of God in creation are fully revealed.

Marriage:
"And I, God said unto mine Only Begotten, which was with me

Let us make man [not a separate man, but a complete man, which is husband and
wife]

2:26.) What a beautiful
partnership! Adam and Eve were married for eternity by the Lord.
Such a marriage
extends beyond the grave. All peoples should call for this kind of marriage.

not of me.

Adam was 130 years old when
Seth was born (Gen. 5:3). And the days of Adam,
after he had begotten Seth, were 800 years, making him 930 years old when he
died (Gen. 5:4-5). Lamech,
the 9th from Adam, and the father of Noah, was 56
years old when Adam died; Methuselah, 243; Enoch, 308; Jared, 470;
Mahalaleel, 535; Cainan, 605; Enos, 695; and Seth, 800. So that Lamech
(the father of Noah), Methuselah, Enoch, Jared, Mahalaleel, Cainan, Enos,
Seth, and Adam, were all living at the same time, and beyond all controversy
were all preachers of righteousness.

geography (location):
Spring Hill, Daviess County,
Missouri (USA) is named in scripture, by the Lord:
Adam-ondi-Ahman (Garden of Eden).
The land
where Adam dwelt was part
of the geographic area of the Garden of Eden; insomuch, that Adam and Eve
heard the voice of the Lord from the way toward the Garden of Eden, speaking
unto them. To Adam and Eve, it appears to have been a familiar, remembered
sacred spot, where they had previously had personal contact with God;
contiguous, neighboring, or adjacent to Spring Hill, Daviess County, MO (USA).
The Garden of Eden was
located on what is now the North American continent.
D&C 117: 8 Is

configuration for the North American land mass.
According to
Gen. 2: 10-14,
a river went out of
aEden to water the garden;
and from thence it was
bparted,
and became into four heads. The name of
the first is Pison: that is it
which acompasseth
the whole land of bHavilah,
where there is gold; And the gold of
that land is good: there is bdellium
and
athe
onyx stone. And the name of the
second river is Gihon: the same
is it that
acompasseth the
whole land of bEthiopia.
And the name of the third
river is Hiddekel: that is it which
goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the
fourth river is Euphrates.
The mountains of aAdam-ondi-Ahman,
by rainfall
or massive underground
sources, brought forth a river that went out of the
Garden of
aEden,
to water the garden; and from thence it was
bparted, and
became into

Adam Besides the Fall
having had to do with Adam and Eve, causing a
change to come over them, that change affected all human nature, all of
the natural creations, all of the creation of animals, plants--all kinds of life
were changed. The earth itself became subject to death.

bodies of Adam and Eve, had no

Adam
Moses 6: 64 And
it came to pass, when the Lord had spoken with Adam,
our father, that Adam cried unto the Lord, and he was
acaught away
by the Spirit
of the Lord, and was carried down into the water, and was laid under the
bwater,
and was brought forth out of the water. Adam had, prior to the Fall,
helped to make
and organize this world, as MICHAEL, the Archangel, in the spirit world,
with
Jehovah and Eloheim. He is the head patriarchal priesthood
representative of
all mankind, under Jesus Christ, the Only
dBegotten of
the Father, (through whom
the bworlds are
and were created, and the
cinhabitants thereof are begotten
dsons
and daughters unto God). [Note: When Adam and Eve were cast out of
the
Garden of Eden, they became subject to physical death, as well as being
spiritually
excommunicated from the presence of God. They were given Temple garments
to wear, made of skins (the first biological animal deaths), to protect them
from
the temporal elements, during this probationary excommunicated time period.
Adam and Eve fell into a temporal married status. After Adam received some
restoration of his priesthood ordinances, he baptized his wife Eve. Adam
and Eve
were the first members of the Church of the Firstborn, even Jesus Christ, upon
this earth. Special priesthood ordinances were performed to restore
the Eternal
Marriage Covenant, received from Jehovah in the Garden of Eden, prior to the
fall.]

Radioactive Decay,

Q. What are we to understand by the book which John saw, which was
asealed
on the back with seven seals?
A. We are to understand that it contains the revealed will,
bmysteries,
and the works of God; the hidden things of his economy concerning this
cearth
during the seven thousand years of its continuance, or its temporal existence.
Q. What are we to understand by the seven
aseals with which
it was sealed?
A. We are to understand that the first seal contains the things of the
bfirst
thousand years, and the csecond
also of the second thousand years,
and so on until the seventh.
Q. What are we to understand by the sounding of the
atrumpets,
mentioned
in the 8th chapter of Revelation?
A. We are to understand that as God
bmade the world
in six days, and on
the seventh day he finished his work, and
csanctified it,
and also formed man
out of the ddust
of the earth, even so, in the beginning of the seventh thousand
years will the Lord God esanctify
the earth, and complete the salvation of man,
and fjudge all
things, and shall gredeem
all things, except that which he hath not
put into his power, when he shall have sealed all things, unto the end of all
things;
and the sounding of the trumpets of the seven angels are the preparing
and finishing of his work, in the beginning of the seventh thousand years—
the hpreparing
of the way before the time of his coming.

Patriarchs
had, beginning with Adam and Eve, including names
of the wives of each of
the Biblical personages. For example,
"Adam begat three sons and three
daughters,
Cain and his twin wife Qalmana, Abel and his twin wife Deborah,
and Seth and his twin wife Noba. [special markings not included]
And Adam,
after he had begotten Seth, lived 700 years, and there
were eleven sons

Enoch
geography (location):
D&C 107: 53
Enoch came out from the land of
aCainan, the
land of his fathers,
which was a land of brighteousness
in his day. Enoch journeyed from the land
of Cainan, by the sea east. Cainhannoch was a code name for
"New York",
used during the time of persecution and hiding in early Church
history. Enoch
stood upon the place Mahujah and went to the mount
aSimeon. From
there,
Enoch beheld in the valley of Shum a great people which dwelt in
atents, which
were the people of Shum. Enoch looked towards the north of mount Simeon
and beheld the people of
aCanaan, which dwelt in tents.
Enoch saw the people
of Canaan in a land barren and unfruitful, cursed with much heat and perpetual
bbarrenness.
Enoch beheld the land of Sharon, and the land of Enoch, and the
land of Omner, and the land of Heni, and the land of Shem, and the land of Haner,
and the land of Hanannihah, and all of their inhabitants. There was a land
that
came up out of the depth of the sea, in the time of Enoch. There were
mountains
and high places in the time of Enoch. Enoch built a city that was called
the City
of Holiness, even ZION. Enoch met with
Adam's posterity at Adam-ondi-Ahman,
located in Missouri, USA, now part of
the North American continent.
life:
Moses 7: 13 And
so great was the afaith
of Enoch that he led the people of
God, and their enemies came to battle against them; and he
bspake the
word
of the Lord, and the earth trembled, and the
cmountains
fled, even according
to his command; and the
drivers of water were turned out of their course; and
the roar of the lions was heard out of the wilderness; and all nations feared
greatly, so epowerful
was the word of Enoch, and so great was the power of
the language which God had given him.
Enoch
There were
agiants
of the
land, during the time of Enoch, and a
bcurse
went forth upon all people that
fought against God. This
appears as the initial
time frame for the development
and mutation of dinosaurs and other distorted,
abnormally deformed
creatures,
including a blackness that came upon all of
the children of Canaan.
Moses 7: 22
And Enoch also beheld the residue of the people which were the sons of Adam;
and they were a mixture of all the seed of Adam save it was the seed of Cain,
for the seed of Cain were black, and had not place among them. God
cursed
the
bresidue
of the people during the time
of the City of Enoch, and the power
of Satan was upon all the face of the earth,

Noah.

building the complex structure), could have initiated confusion,
with disagreement and labor unrest concerning any unequal work
compensation. God, by the withdrawal of His spirit, caused the
scattering of the posterity of Japheth.
The Book of Mormon,
(another Testament of Jesus
Christ), in
Ether 1: 6-37, confirms
migration of
families returning back to the
Western Hemisphere:
Jared and his
family,
along with the
family
of his righteous brother
Mahonri Moriancumer;
with some others and their families.
This occurred after the days of PELEG (time period: 2253 B.C.
to 2014 B.C.),
in whose days the earth
was divided (Gen.
10: 25).

Flood Legends from
Around the World . . .
"The Cornish Tynners
hold a strong imagination, that in the withdrawing of Noahs floud
to the Sea, the same took his course from East to West, violently
breaking vp, and forcibly carrying with it, the earth, trees, and
Rocks, which lay any thing loosely, neere the vpper face of the
ground. To confirme the likelihood of which supposed truth, they
doe many times digge vp whole and huge Timber trees which they
conceiue at that deluge to haue beene ouerturned and whelmed:"
Ether 13: 2
Confirms as fact that the Flood was worldwide in scope.
From the Book of Mormon, after the waters had
areceded from
off the
face of this bland
(North and South America), it became a choice land
above all other lands, a chosen land of the Lord; wherefore the Lord
would have that all men should
cserve him who
dwell upon the face thereof.
In a wider sense all of North and South America are Zion (HC 6: 318-19).
Moses 7: 43
Wherefore Enoch saw that Noah built an
aark; and
that
the Lord smiled upon it, and held it in his own hand; but upon the residue
of the wicked the bfloods
came and swallowed them up.

Lamech was 182 when

years afterward he begat

And Noah was
asix

[2344 B.C.]
Archbishop Ussher calculated the Flood date as 2349 B.C.
Moses informs us that Noah lived after the flood 350 years; making
him
950 years old when he died (Gen. 9:28-29). Noah
was 84 years old when
Enos died, 176 when Cainan died, 234 when
Mahalaleel died, 366 when
Jared died, 595 when Lamech died, and 600 when
Methuselah died. We
can see from this that Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared,
Methuselah,
Lamech, and Noah all lived on the earth at the same time; and
that Enos,
Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Methuselah and Lamech, were all
acquainted
with both Adam and Noah.
Research Notes:
A. Louis Bourguet (1678-1742), listed in
Dictionary of
Scientific Biography,
Vol. XV, published by the American Council of Learned
Societies,
made a
philological investigation of the Etruscan alphabet (ancient pre-Roman
Italy),
and was convinced it derived from ancient Hebrew. He studied
Hebrew
and
the Mishnah with a Rabbi. Louis Bourguet believed in the
common origin
of
all peoples and languages and questioned the presumed great age and isolation
of the people of China. He declared that the great world wide Flood was
but
the amplification of normal processes and the "exceptional convergence,
ordained by God, of ordinary causes." Louis Bourguet explored fossil
sites
throughout Europe, suggesting they were from animal and vegetable origins.
The Testimony of Archaeology notes: "Both the Hebrew, the Samaritan,
the Greek writings current in Palestine during the two centuries before
Christ, and the old Babylonian traditions, assert a transmission of writings
about creation down from the beginning of time to Enoch and Noah."
The kept genealogical pedigrees therefore suggest language origination
and later distortions of a pure universal language that began to fragment
with population movements and family group isolation, in the time period
of circa 2944 B.C. to 1994 B.C. and later. This is what credible written
evidence suggests, within the created and preserved ancient genealogies.
B. Biblical statements concerning the earth being corrupt,
with all flesh
upon the earth being corrupted, are mentioned during
the time of the
Patriarch Noah, 2944 to 1994 B.C. There were giants
on the earth
in those days that attempted to take away the life of Noah,
indicating
from Holy Scripture, the time frame for the worldwide culmination of
the development
and mutation of dinosaurs, plants and other distorted,
abnormally deformed
creatures. The Flood appears as a gift from
God,
a baptism of the whole
earth, to save all mankind and all flesh
also,
from genetic destruction
and deformed mutations.
"There is definite evidence that at one time, and I am convinced
it
was in antediluvian days since the time of Adam, the climate of the
earth was just as Elder Parley P. Pratt and President John Taylor
have described it. Evidence is found in the Arctic that tropical, or
semi-tropical plants, grew there in abundance. The frozen animals
spoken of by
Sir Henry
H. Howorth were frozen at the time of the
flood when the climatic
conditions of the earth were changed . . . ."
The journal Nature news,
published online on 31 May 2006,
notes
that a "core of sediment pulled from the
bottom of the Arctic
Ocean
has confirmed" (that at some period in the past), "the North
Pole
was as warm as a balmy summer day." . . . "it also seems that
the
North Pole began to cool at about the same time as the Antarctic.
This timing suggests that climate was being driven by a global factor,
such as atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases, rather than some-
thing more local, such as geological upheaval." . . . "the atmosphere
at the time was exceptionally rich in greenhouse gases . . . amplified
by an additional factor — possibly heat-trapping stratospheric clouds
or hurricane-induced ocean mixing." Excluding the incorrect time
periods, scientific
confirmation is given of an abrupt
worldwide Flood.
CBS SCI-TECH online News, 31 May 2006, includes: "Imagine a world
where there are dense sequoia trees and cypress trees like in Florida
that ring the Arctic Ocean . . . Researchers are not sure what caused
the sudden boost of carbon dioxide that set the greenhouse effect on
broil. Possible culprits could be huge releases of methane from the
ocean, gigantic continent-sized burning of trees, or lots of volcanic
eruptions. "
"We are led to believe, then, that in the beginning the mountains
were not as high as they are now . . . When the valleys are exalted
it will be the natural result of the mountains being debased or made
low. In this way the earth will be restored to its primitive condition."
(Man: His Origin and Destiny, 422-423, by Joseph Fielding Smith.
All human society
was without affection, and they
bhated
their own blood.
Among all the
workmanship of God's hands, there has never been such
great
bwickedness.
The
asons of God saw the daughters of men, that they
were fair; and they btook
them cwives of
all which they chose. In other
words,
men who were baptized into the ancient church, rejected their own
priesthood responsibilities, intentionally marrying wives with attractive,
physical beauty, that were spiritually devoid of faith in God.
C.
World Population Since Creation
" . . . Even if we use rates appropriate for the present world (x = 1 and C =
1.5),
over 3 billion people could easily have been on the earth at the time of Noah."

Ancient History: Revised Chronologies

Anderson, James. Royal Genealogies: or, The Genealogical Tables
of Emperors, Kings and Princes, from Adam to These Times. London:
James Bettenham, 1732. [available in a microform edition] Under Table II.
The PATRIARCHS after the flood of the Line of Japhet, mention is made
of Japhet's son Gomer, the father of Riphath . . . from whom afterwards came
the Colonies . . . that first inhabited
Great Britain and Ireland . . . Mention is
also made of Japhet's son Javan, the father of
Dodanim or Rodanim, who
dwelt in the south and east of France.
The Chronicles of
Jerahmeel, page 58,
notes "And Faneg, son of Dodanim, was the first to ride the ships of the sea";
the children of Dodanim, Iteb, Beath, and Faneg.
Milesian ancestrial records
show Magog, not Dodanim,
as the father of
Baath,
Jobhath and
Fathochta.
It is obvious some creative individual (s) in the past, tried to establish
Biblical
connections to Ireland's historical records, using apparent Irish pedigree
names.
External evidence from non Irish sources, historically compared with the ancient
Irish pedigree's internal evidence, eliminates earlier
Japhetic
connections.
A study
of Irish source records, includes the
"Line
of Heremon", from Baoth
to Milesius, which appears in fact as an anti-Semitic rewriting of Biblical
text,
using Bible analogy into a "gentile" pedigree; such as "In his youth Gaodhal
was stung in the neck by a serpent and was immediately brought to Moses,
who by laying his rod upon the wounded place instantly cured him . . ."
Niul
being "invited into Egypt by Pharaoh the King; who gave him the land of
Campus
Cyruset, near the Red Sea, to inhabit" is an apparent rerun of Abraham
going
down into Egypt. This carries down in the recorded pedigree of Lamhfionn,
for
"Ireland, which was the place destined for their future and lasting abode
and
settlement; and that not they but their posterity after three hundred years
should
arrive there." Thus, a disjointed rewrite of
Abraham's
journey and promise to
him and his posterity, to possess the land of Canaan, to
which they later returned,
or the Exodus when Moses was 80 years old.
