The 10 Chaldean Epochs: 432,000 Years
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.
Cain
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.
Sons of Adam, Sons of Ish
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.
Nile sediment layers dated back approximately 13,500 years
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.
The beginning of the Cacas-u “Caucasoid Race”
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
Kush, Cuniform and the Medu Neter
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.
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.
Women were mining
Adam's Calendar: Credo Mutwa refers to Adam's Calendar, which some believe to be about 60,000 to 70,000 years old, but he suggests it is "much, much older." This indicates that sophisticated activities like mining could date back well beyond this period.
Adam's Calendar: Located in Mpumalanga, South Africa, it is believed to be one of the oldest man-made structures in the world.
20:06Is Michael Tellinger correct about the date of what he calls Adam's Calendar?
The book of the Angels
The Atlanteans believed their forefather Adam to have been a god and deified their ancient ancestors.
The Pyramid, the cross and the Garden of Eden
Abel, left the land of Adam, "he travelled over many countries" before be reached the land of Nod; and the land of Nod was to the eastward of Adam's home.
The first two human beings, they tell us, were Protogonos and Aion (Adam and 'Havath), who produce Genos and Genea (Qên and Qênath), from whom again are descended three brothers, named Phos, Phur, and Phlox (Light, Fire, and Flame), because they "have discovered how to produce fire by the friction of two pieces of wood, and have taught the use of this element." In another fragment, at the origin of the human race we see in succession the fraternal couples of Autochthon and Technites (Adam and Quen--Cain?), inventors of the manufacture of bricks; Agros and Agrotes (Sade and Cêd), fathers of the agriculturists and hunters; then Amynos and Magos, "who taught to dwell in villages and rear flocks."
These two personages are succeeded by Misôr and Sydyk, 'the released and the just,' as Sanchoniathon translates them, but rather the 'upright and the just' (Mishôr and Çüdüq), 'who invent the use of salt.' To Misôr is born Taautos (Taût), to whom we owe letters; and to Sydyk the Cabiri or Corybantes, the institutors of navigation." (Lenormant, "Genealogies between Adam and the Deluge." Contemporary Review, April, 1880.)
Ad-, Atl-, At-, Atlantis
Ad-ima and Heva: Their names are strikingly similar to the biblical Adam and Eve, hinting at a shared mythological origin.

The death of Adam
Adam was consoled for the loss of Abel by learning to make wheat-bread.
Gabriel, an angel, brought Adam the remaining wheat grains from the forbidden tree, along with oxen and farming tools.
Following Gabriel’s guidance, Adam plowed the land but encountered Abel's body.
Adam then learned to bake bread from the harvested wheat, whose grains had been significantly larger in earlier times.
Gabriel taught Adam and Eve agriculture and animal husbandry.
Adam learned to sacrifice a lamb, shear wool, and skin sheep.
Eve was instructed in spinning and weaving, creating garments for herself and Adam.
Adam and Eve raised a large family, instructing their descendants in the skills they learned.
At 930 years old, Adam encountered the Angel of Death, who appeared as a goat.
Adam protested, claiming he was promised 1000 years, but the Angel reminded him of his gift of 70 years to David.
Seth performed the burial rites for Adam, assisted by Gabriel.
In the context of the narrative involving Adam, the story goes that Adam, the first human, was initially granted a lifespan of 1000 years.
Thus, Adam lived for 930 years, and David lived for 70 years, fulfilling the divine promise.
Traditions differ on Adam’s burial site, citing locations like India, Mount Kubeis, Jerusalem, Mecca, Ceylon, or the cave of Machpelah.
A common belief is that Noah carried Adam’s bones in the Ark, and they were buried in Jerusalem, the supposed center of the earth.
Finally, when Adam had reached his nine hundred and thirtieth year, the Angel of Death appeared under the form of a goat, and ran between his legs.
Adam recoiled with horror, and exclaimed, “God has given me one thousand years; wherefore comest thou now?”
Adam stoutly denied that he had done so.
Then the Angel of Death drew the document of transfer from out of his beard, and presented it to Adam, who could no longer refuse to go.
Adam’s Testament:Adam’s will, as per some traditions, was dictated to his numerous offspring, overseen by Gabriel and millions of angels.
Some apocryphal texts claim Adam authored psalms and delivered a final testament, sealed by Gabriel.
Epitaph:Gabriel Alvarez’s epitaph of Adam reflects on Adam’s creation, fall, penitence, and the redemption brought by Jesus Christ, the "Second Adam".
“Here lies, reduced to a pinch of dust, he who, from a pinch of dust, was formed to govern the earth, Adam,the son of None, the father of All, the stepfather of All and of himself.
The First Adam Lived to Die;
The Second Adam Died to Live.
Go, and imitate the penitence of the First Adam;
Go, and celebrate the goodness of the Second Adam.”
Androgyne Adam
One Rabbinical interpretation of the text, "And God created man in His own image, male-female created He them," is that Adam and Eve were formed back to back, united at the shoulders, and were hewn asunder with a hatchet; but of this more presently.
They also say that, for the marriage-feast of Adam and Eve, God made a table of precious stone, and each gem was a hundred ells long and sixty ells wide, and the table was covered with costly dishes.
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.

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."

4), argued that Adam had two faces, one male and the other female, and that he was of both sexes.[6]
The Rabbi Samuel Ben-Nahaman held that the first man was created double, with a woman at his back, and that God cut them apart. "Adam," said other Rabbis, "had two faces and one tail, and from the beginning he was both male and female, male on one side, female on the other; but afterwards the parts were separated."
The Talmudists assert that God cut off Adam's tail and thereof formed Eve.
The Rabbi Eliezer, commenting on the text "He called their name Adam" (Gen.
That Eve was Adam's second wife was a common Rabbinic speculation; certain of the commentators on Genesis having adopted this view to account for the double account of the creation of woman in the sacred text,—first in Genesis i.
18; and they say that Adam's first wife was named Lilith, but she was expelled from Eden, and after her expulsion Eve was created.
Abraham Ecchellensis gives the following account of Lilith, and her doings:—"There are some who do not regard spectres as simple devils, but suppose them to be of a mixed nature, part demoniacal, part human, and to have had their origin from Lilith, Adam's first wife, by Eblis, the prince of the devils.
They gave to Adam a wife, formed of clay, along with Adam, and called her Lilith; resting on the Scripture, 'male and female created He them:' but when this woman, on account of her simultaneous creation with him, became proud and a vexation to her husband, God expelled her from Paradise, and then said, 'It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.'
And this they confirm by the words of Adam when he saw the woman fashioned from his rib, 'This is now bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh,' which is as much as to say, Now God has given me a wife and companion, suitable for me, taken from my bone and flesh, but the other wife he gave me was not of my bone and flesh, and therefore was not a suitable companion and wife for me.
Clement, which nevertheless contains a large element of truth; it is to this effect, that Adam, when made, was like a beast, coarse, rude, and inanimate, but that from Eve he received his upright position, his polish, and his spirituality.
Lilith
The Anunnaki fashioned Lilith from dust and placed her in the garden alongside Adam.
Disagreeing with Adam, Lilith chose to depart the Garden of Eden.
Numerous origin stories surround Lilith, with the most prevalent narrative depicting her as Adam’s initial spouse.
According to the “first Eve” account, God fashioned Lilith from dust and placed her in the garden alongside Adam.
However, conflicts arose when Adam attempted to assert dominance over Lilith.
One version recounts Lilith’s refusal to assume a subservient position during intimate relations, asserting her belief in equality as both were created from the earth’s dust. Disagreeing with Adam, Lilith chose to depart the Garden of Eden.
Upon Lilith’s departure, Adam informed God, prompting the dispatch of three angels – Senoi, Sansenoi, and Sammangelof – to retrieve her.
In this account, Lilith is described as refusing to assume the ‘missionary position’ during sexual intercourse with Adam and consequently leaving him: ‘She said, “I will not lie below,” and he said, “I will not lie beneath you, but only on top.
According to Ibn Ishaq, after Iblis was expelled from the Garden of Eden, he married the serpent whose mouth he had entered when he spoke to Adam, and they had offspring.
