Canaanites
Pre-flood Nations and tribes
In the Bible, the pre-flood period, often referred to as the antediluvian period, primarily focuses on the early descendants of Adam and the broader human population before the Great Flood.
Description: Descendants of Cain, the son of Adam who killed his brother Abel.
Description: Technically, all pre-flood humans are Adamites, as they are descendants of Adam.
Description: The first woman, created from Adam’s rib, and the mother of all living humans.
Description: The sons of Adam and Eve, where Cain, the elder, kills Abel, leading to the early depiction of sin and punishment.
Mesopotamia played an enormous role in the development of the Genesis creation stories—Adam and Eve, the flood, and now the post-flood table of nations, which includes the Tower of Babel resembling a Babylonian ziggurat.
The Laws for Humans
It says: "Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your Elohim is giving you." He references Jewish scholar Lia Bat Adam, who explains that honoring one's parents means taking care of them, especially in their old age.
Mashya and Mashyana
They are often considered the progenitors of the human race in Zoroastrian cosmology, similar to Adam and Eve in Abrahamic traditions.
Behanchel Elyon goyim behafrido benei adam yatzev gevulot amim lemispar benei Yisrael.
בְּנֵי אָדָם (benei adam): "the sons of man," often translated as "mankind."
"Descendants of the Adamic Race" is a possible translation for בְּנֵי אָדָם (benei adam).
Ad-ima and Heva
The tale of Ad-ima and Heva in Hindu tradition offers an intriguing parallel to the biblical story of Adam and Eve.
While there is no direct evidence linking Ad-ima and Heva to Adam and Eve, these parallels highlight the common themes in human creation myths across different cultures.
One equivalent to the biblical Adam and Eve in Hindu mythology is found in the Brahma Purana.
For example, the snake represented healing and protection, but later, it represented treachery (Adam and Eve).
Jesus – Pleiadian consciousness
The biblical story of Adam and Eve is described as the creation of a hybrid race by a Sirian defector.
The Ark of Nuu
The Babylonians and Chaldeans had a concept similar to the Hebrew Adam-Kadmon, or first man, and recorded ten epochs from their head mortal to the Flood.
This mirrors the Hebrew story of ten generations from Adam to Noah.
Elder son of Adam and Eve, the first murderer and the first fratricide, from Hebrew Qayin, literally "created one," also "smith," from Semitic stem q-y-n "to form, to fashion." Figurative use for "murderer, fratricide" is from late 14c.
“And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
Both the sons of "Adam," and the sons of "Ish," together rich and poor.
He points out the existence of references to separate human lineages, specifically mentioning the "sons of Adam" and the "sons of Ish." Here is the quoted passage:
"It is somewhat remarkable that those who so delighted in perverting Scripture, and assigning but a single origin to man, should not have taken pains to exclude all those passages which relate to independent and different origins, as, for instance, those already quoted, and such passages as this, from the 33rd chapter of Deuteronomy: 'Give ear all inhabitants of the world: both sons of Adam, and sons of Ish;' and Isaiah 31st, 'Then shall the Assyrian fall...
And the sword, not of an Adamite, shall devour him.' These two races, of Adam and Ish, are mentioned more than seventy times in the same sentences."
Scriptural References to Multiple Origins: He highlights that the Bible contains references to different origins of humanity, specifically mentioning "sons of Adam" and "sons of Ish," suggesting that there were distinct lineages of humans.
Frequency of Mention: Randolph notes that the distinction between the races of Adam and Ish is made more than seventy times in the same sentences within the Scriptures, underscoring the importance of recognizing these separate lineages.
Our history – A Shemitic Myth
You laugh at our Koords, who, disdaining all your prosaic theories of Creation, boldly assert that they did not spring from your Adam, but were begotten of women created especially for that purpose by Allah, through the instrumentality of the Ginns (spiritual beings); and yet, while you thus laugh, you at the same moment tell us impossible tales of five hundred distinct nations of men all springing from one common pair!
You know how eloquently they spoke of the five ages before the present race of men inhabited the earth, and of the Djan, the Ramm, the Tamm, the Bann, and the Djam, all of which lived long ages before your Adam.
Kyomarz or Gil-shah – First man
‘Gil’ means ‘clay,’ ‘Shah’ means ‘king,’ ‘Kyomurz’ means ‘First Man.’ Thus we have the first king; earth-king; king of the earth, and Adam.

Randolph uses these findings to argue that human civilization existed long before the biblical Adam, suggesting a much older history of human activity and culture.
Menes – Adam
Pre-Adamite Theory: Randolph suggests that Menes and the early Egyptians were not descendants of Adam (from the Bible) but were from an ancient, advanced civilization that predated the biblical timeline.
Timelines: According to Randolph, the timeline of Menes and ancient Egypt conflicts with the biblical narrative of Adam.
He asserts that Egyptian civilization existed thousands of years before Adam, making the two civilizations unrelated.
Human Origin: The text questions the literal interpretation of the Bible concerning human origins and proposes that humans existed long before the biblical Adam.
Yet, in the Hebrew Bible and Arabic Quraan there is a chosen people who go back to a man they both call Adam.
You are given each name from their “Elohim” of Genesis 1:1 to Adam, a person, Genesis 2:19…
∙ “And out of the ground the LORD GOD formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof”.
∙ “Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created”.
So you have a name by name list from God to Adam and the Adamites all the way to Jesus, Luke 3:23-38.
∙ “Allah did choose Adam and Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran above all people,” - Yusuf Ali, Translation
For instance, the symbol of Haru can be found on Adam’s Calendar in South Africa, a precursor to Nabta Playa, both on the 30th parallel, along with the Great Zimbabwe and the Great Pyramid at Giza.
60,000 BCE: Early symbols and writing systems in Africa, including the symbol of Haru on Adam’s Calendar.
The African Calendar
Western scientists call it Adam's Calendar, a rock formation in Mpumalanga that illustrates the solstices and equinoxes, the four most important days of the year.
Adam and Bahouna
Primeval man and the birth of Eve
The body of Adam, she says, was more pure, translucent, and transparent than crystal, light and buoyant as air.
Every motion of Adam's body produced ineffable harmonies.
The Creation of Adam and Hawa
God created Adam from clay or dust, fashioned him into shape, and breathed life into him.
Adam was the first human being and the first prophet.
After his creation, Adam lived in Paradise, a place of eternal bliss and abundance.
According to the tradition, God gave Adam a bunch of grapes as a reward for his devotion and obedience.
Having consumed the grapes, Adam felt a deep sense of contentment and soon fell into a peaceful sleep.
While Adam was sleeping, God decided to create a companion for him.
God took a rib or a part from Adam’s left side.
This act was gentle and Adam did not feel any pain.
From this part of Adam, God created a woman, whom He named Hawa (Eve).
When Adam awoke from his sleep, he found Hawa beside him.
God instructed Adam and Hawa to live together in Paradise, to enjoy its bounties, and to stay away from a specific tree, which was a test of their obedience.
She shared equal responsibility with Adam in their life in Paradise and later, after their descent to Earth, in their role as the progenitors of the human race.
The Mussulman tradition is, that Adam having eaten the bunch of grapes given him as a reward for having preached to the angels, fell asleep; and whilst he slept, God took from his left side a woman whom He called Hava, because she was extracted from one living (Hai), and He laid her beside Adam.
She resembled him exactly, except that her features were more delicate, her hair longer and divided into seven hundred locks, her form more slender, her eyes softer, and her voice sweeter than Adam's.
In the meantime Adam had been dreaming that a wife had been given to him; and when he woke, great was his delight to find his dream turned into a reality.
Adam thereupon sent the angel Gabriel to ask God's permission to take to him Hava as his wife.
Ridhwan, the porter of Paradise, then brought to Adam the winged horse Meimun, and to Eve a light-footed she-camel.
In the midst of Paradise was a green silk tent spread for them, supported on gold pillars, and in the tent was a throne upon which Adam and Hava were seated.
Tabari says that Adam was brought single into Paradise, through which he roamed eating from the fruit trees, and a deep sleep fell upon him, during which Eve was created from his left side.
And when Adam opened his eyes, he saw her, and asked her who she was, and she replied, "I am thy wife; God created me out of thee and for thee, that thy heart might find repose."
The angels said to Adam: "What thing is this?
Why is she made?" Adam replied, "This is Eve." Adam remained five hundred years in Paradise.
It was on a Friday that Adam entered Eden.
