- Human lifespan is limited to 120 years
- There were giants before and after a flood
The Bible, in its 6th chapter of Genesis, refers to unions between gods and the adamites, which resulted in giants on Earth.
Mauro Biglino
These Atlanteans that survived, that were tall and considered the demigods, considered the idea of the union between the gods and man, these that were, as your Bible says, the heroes of old, the heroes of renown in the olden days, the giants that walked the Earth at that time, and that did boost the various human civilizations around them—being human themselves but also again mixed very strongly with extraterrestrial Anunnaki blood and genetics, did seek to preserve and over time became blended more and more through procreation into human society, creating different bloodlines, some of which contain more or less Anunnaki genetics.

120 years and the Sumerian šar
Verse 3 limits human days to 120 years. The number made me look at the Sumerian way of counting. The Sumerians counted in sixties. One geš is 60, one geš’u is 600, and one šar is 3,600 (see the Oracc overview of Sumerian number units). In that system 120 is not a šar. It is a round number: 2 geš, two sixties. We pick 100 or 1,000 when we want a round limit. If the one who set this limit counted in Sumerian, 120 is the number he would pick. That is my own reading, not a proven fact, but it makes the 120 years more logical to me.
Where 120 and the šar do meet is in the Babylonian flood tradition. Berossus, a priest of Babylon who wrote in Greek in the early third century BC, gave ten kings before the Flood, and their reigns added up to 120 šars:
In his second book, Berossus described the ten kings of the Chaldeans and the period of their rule, 120 šars, that is 432,000 years, up to the Flood.
George Synkellos, Chronographia 30, quoting Berossus (translation from the Melammu Project)
Genesis also has ten generations from Adam to Noah in Genesis 5, and then the number 120 just before the Flood. I cannot prove that the writer of Genesis 6 took 120 from a Babylonian list and turned šars into years. But the same count of ten, and the same number 120, at the same point in the story, is too close for me to ignore. The Sumerian reigns themselves are on Antediluvian rulers and the Sumerian King List.
Genealogy tracing the line from Adam to Noah
The names Methuselah, Lamech, Adam, and Seth appear in the Bible's Book of Genesis, chapter 5, as part of the genealogy tracing the line from Adam to Noah. This lineage represents the descendants through Seth, often called the Sethite line. Here is a summary of the relevant genealogy:
This genealogy in Genesis 5 directly precedes Genesis 6, which describes increasing human population and wickedness, leading to God’s decision to send the flood.
Genesis 6:4 states: “The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.”
These patriarchs relate to Genesis 6:4 in two main ways.
- First, the genealogy shows the growth of humanity, setting the context for the events in Genesis 6:1-4, where “sons of God” marry “daughters of humans,” producing the Nephilim (giants or mighty men).
- Second, in one common interpretation, the “sons of God” refer to the godly descendants of Seth (including figures like Methuselah and Lamech), who intermarried with the ungodly line of Cain, leading to corruption. Other views identify the “sons of God” as fallen angels or human rulers, but the Sethite interpretation directly links the named individuals to this verse.
