Secondary 800-Year Generation Cycle Ages provide tools we need to resolve the genealogy of Adam. Genesis scriptures quote Primary and Secondary Ages for each listed character from Adam to Enoch. Collectively known as the Antediluvian Patriarchs, they have a Primary Age until fathering the next named character. Secondary Ages measure time from fatherhood until death. Genesis 5:4 informs us that Adam lives for 800-Years following the birth of his son, Seth. Primary Ages group to form the Primary Age Category. The Secondary Age Category starts with the Adam 800-Year Generation Cycle 1 Age. The Secondary Age Category groups all Secondary Ages together. Secondary Age Category measures total lunar/solar time, denoted here l/s, and includes all seven Antediluvian Patriarchs in consecutive order. Generation Cycles lasting 800-Tun-Years illustrate the wisdom of ancient minds.

The Secondary Age Category entails thirteen 400-Year Baktun Cycles in the vernacular of the Mayan Calendar. Each 400-Year Baktun Cycle is the halfway, midpoint position for the Patriarch’s entire 800-Year Generation Cycle. Adam 400-Year Baktun Cycle 1 in the Secondary Age Category also identifies with Adam Primary 130-Tun-year Age in the Primary Age Category. The end of Adam 400-Year Baktun Cycle 2 completes the first 800-Year Generation Cycle 1 in the Secondary Age Category. Color green text indicates active periods relevant to Lunar/Solar 260-Year Tzolken-Sacred-Cycle 1. Blue text indicates inactive periods for the same Lunar/Solar 260-Year Tzolken-Sacred-Cycle 1 in the descriptions below.

Genesis 5:4

“And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:”

Segments of 800-Years increment the Secondary Age Category for every named character. Extending the ancient recordings expresses by repeating Adam 800-Year Generation Cycle 1 Age for Seth and remaining characters. Repeating 800-Year Generation Cycles are part of later descendant Patriarch Secondary Ages. Characters Seth through Mahalaleel utilize 800-Year Generation Cycles as the first part of their respective Secondary Ages. Adam and Jared share baseline 800-Year Generation Cycles 1 and 6. Six different 800-Year Generation Cycles 1-6 are single units of time that add two consecutive 400-Year Baktun Cycles. Lunar/Solar component tools assemble the advanced 800-Year Generation Cycle.

The begat genealogy following Adam lists Secondary Ages from fatherhood of his named son, until the character’s death. Original Jewish Calendar 19 year l/s-cycles modify to become Mesoamerican Calendar 20 year l/s-cycles. Multiples of 20 year-l/s-cycles form the Secondary Age Category. Each year during a 20 year-l/s-cycle was a 360 day-Tun-year. Mayan terminology employs the prefix “Ka” in the word Katun that describes one Katun 20 year-cycle. Twenty multiples of Katun 20 year l/s-cycles permit the Mayan prefix “Bak” to describe a l/s 400-Year Baktun Cycle. Increments of 400-Year Baktun Cycles count the Secondary Ages for all characters in the Antediluvian Calendar.

Lunar/Solar Adam Secondary 800-Year Generation Cycle 1 Age Figure 1 below begins the Secondary Age Category. Adam Secondary 800-Year Generation Cycle 1 Age below shows division for two Secondary Age 400-Year Baktun Cycles. Adam names 400-Year Baktun Cycle 1 in green text and 400-Year Baktun Cycle 2 in blue text. Two types of Venus Rounds (VR) underneath correspond as VR 1 in green text and VR 2 in blue text. Capital S stands for Solar-Side reckoning of a Lunar/Solar 400-Y Baktun Cycle time split.

Mayan & Egyptian version S 104-Y VR 1 employs a 104-Year Venus Round and Jewish Table version S 105-Y VR 1 identifies 105-Year Venus Rounds. An identical Lunar, L 104-Year is shown to illustrate the dividing time split concept. Only the solar-side time split half becomes significant for the later character calculations. All Secondary Age 800-Year Generation Cycles 1 to 6 are comprised of two consecutive 400-year Baktun Cycles numbered from 1 to 13. Corresponding 104-Y or 105-Y Venus Rounds are likewise numbered from 1 to 13. The first, Adam 400-year Baktun Cycle 1 of Adam 800-year Generation Cycle 1 produces the active green Primary Age entry for Adam and other Lunar/Solar characters. The second, Adam 400-year Baktun Cycle 2 provides an inactive blue mirror image for Adam and other named Primary Ages.

Jewish version employs 105-Ethiopic-year Venus Round 1 by default, which abbreviates to S 105-Y VR 1. Mayan & Egyptian version S 104-Y VR 1 identifies with 104-Year Venus Rounds. Solar-Side 104-Y or 105-Y Venus Rounds are significant for later character Primary Ages. An identical lunar-side, L 104-Year is shown to illustrate the dividing time split concept. All Secondary Age Generation Cycles 1-6 are comprised of two consecutive 400-year Baktun Cycles numbered from 1 to 13. Corresponding 104-Y or 105-Y Venus Rounds are likewise numbered 1 to 13.

Jewish Solar 105-Ethiopic-year Venus Round (S 105-Y VR) is a variation of the Mayan & Egyptian Solar 104-Year Venus Round (S 104-Y VR). Two Mayan & Egyptian 52-Year Calendar Rounds are replaced with either of two 49-Year Jubilee Cycles or two 50-Year Jublilee Cycles (Exodus 25:10). The 364 day-Ethiopic-year sets aside the last 365th-day of any 365 day-solar-year for X Days & Years numerical matching, forming a single term.

Mayan & Egyptian S 104-Y VR
x 365 day-solar-year
= 37,960-days

Jewish S 105-Y VR
x 364 day-Ethiopic-year
= 38,220-days

Jewish 105-Y VR differs from Mayan & Egyptian 104-Y VR by one 260 day-Tzolken-sacred-year.

Imagine two different rolls of green tape: Adam 400-Year Baktun Cycle 1 and Adam Solar 104-Year Venus Round 1, or Adam S 104-Y VR 1. Both rolls of tape start at the same time. The tape called Adam 400-Year Baktun Cycle 1 is wider and has 400 wraps of 360 day-Tun-years around the spool. Adam Solar 104-Year Venus Round 1, or Adam S 104-Y VR 1 tape is narrower to about half the width of the other. Jewish S 105-Y VR tape rolls are a variation on the theme and simply measure remaining lengths according to 364 day-Ethiopic-years. Adam S 104-Y VR 1 tape represents the Solar-Side half of 208-years lunar/solar separation time per Adam 400-Year Baktun Cycle 1. Both rolls of tape end at the same time, at the close of Adam 400-Year Baktun Cycle 1. Mayan & Egyptian Adam S 104-Y VR 1 compares to a similar Jewish S 105-Y VR 1 tape representing the Solar-Side half of 210-years lunar/solar separation time per Adam 400-Year Baktun Cycle 1. Adam S 104-Y VR 1 actively determines Adam Primary 130-Year Age during Adam 400-Year Baktun Cycle 1 of his Secondary Age 800-Tun-Year Generation Cycle 1.

The second half of Adam 800-Year Generation Cycle 1, Adam 400-Year Baktun Cycle 2 can be thought as two more rolls of blue tape. Adam Solar 104-Year Venus Round 2, or Adam S 104-Y VR 2 tape again begins and ends simultaneously with Adam 400-Year Baktun Cycle 2. Another Jewish S 105-Y VR 2 version operates exactly the same way, beginning and ending alongside Adam 400-Year Baktun Cycle 2. Inactive blue Adam S 104-Y VR 2 is the mirror for Adam S 104-Y VR 1, and does not affect Adam Primary 130-Year Age. The second half of Lunar/Solar 260-Year Tzolken-Sacred-Cycle 1 transpires next with Lunar/Solar Enos.

Seth’s Secondary 807-Year Generation Cycle 2 Age follows the same pattern. Seth 400-Year Baktun Cycle 3 in the lineage is also Seth’s first 400-Year Baktun Cycle 3 for the Secondary Age Category. Seth 400-Year Baktun Cycle 3 ends simultaneously with Seth Solar Primary 105-Ethioic-year Venus Round 3 Age. Seth's midpoint Secondary Age marks the first solar-side time split. The fourth, 400-Year Baktun Cycle 4 adds to the Secondary Age Category for Seth. Seth 400-Year Baktun Cycle 4 stays inactive blue until active Seth 400-Year Baktun Cycle 3 terminates. Seth 400-Year Baktun Cycle 4 changes color to active red during the second half of Seth Secondary 807-Year Generation Cycle 2 Age. Seth 400-Year Baktun Cycle 4 finishes a duplicate active red 105-Ethiopic-year segment in order to align Solar-Side 260-year Tzolken-Sacred-Cycle 1 with its Lunar/Solar counterpart. A final period lasting 7-Tzolken-sacred-years, or about 1,820-days, adds the last Primary Age 5-Ethiopic-years according to the 364-day-Ethiopic-year. The 364-day-Ethiopic-year adds exactly 7-Tzolken-sacred-years from the last 5-Ethiopic-years in Seth Solar Primary 105-Ethioic-year Venus Round 3 Age. Later generations utilize similar 5-Ethiopic-year tags in describing multiple Venus Rounds. Solar-Side 260-year Tzolken-Sacred-Cycles 1-2 show red text and graphics for active solar-side information. Blue text and graphics change color to active red after reaching the Secondary Age midpoint position.

Solar-Side Seth 400-Year Baktun Cycles 3-4 Figure 2 shows Seth 400-Year Baktun Cycle 3 and Seth Solar 104-year or 105-year Venus Round 3 as active, red text. Jewish text and picture versions refer to 105-Y VR and Mayan & Egyptian refers to 104-Y VR. Solar 104-Y or 105-Y Venus Rounds were the ancient measurement tool used to count 20 multiples of 20-year lunar/solar cycles. Mayan & Egyptian and Jewish versions both count 400-Year Baktun Cycles. The Mayan & Egyptian version divides equally for 104-years of solar-side and 104-years of lunar-side time split. The Jewish version results in 105-years of solar-side and 105-years of lunar-side time split. Venus Rounds lasting 104-years or 105-years are considered the Solar-Side Primary Age half resulting from 400-year Baktun Cycles. Lunar/Solar and Solar-Side 260-Tzolken Sacred Cycles are used to figure later Antediluvian Calendar ages. Adam and Seth examples are given for comparison.

Antediluvian Calendar Time Stream pictures show two sawtooth drawings below. Two Mayan & Egyptian 104-Year Venus Rounds are the Primary Age green and blue triangles for Adam. Adam 400-Year Baktun Cycle 1 generates Adam's first solar-side Mayan & Egyptian Solar 104-Year Venus Round 1 (S 104-Y VR 1). Green text signifies Adam 400-Y Baktun Cycle 1 is active in producing Adam S 104-Y VR 1. Mayan & Egyptian 104-Year Venus Rounds synchronize 400-Year Baktun Cycles with the synodic, visible cycle of planet Venus. Two Mayan & Egyptian 52-Year Calendar Rounds add to make each 104-Year Venus Round.The bright evening and morning star completes an 8-solar-year course 13 different times in the Mayan & Egyptian 104-year Venus Round.

Jewish Antediluvian Calendar Time Stream picture below replaces Adam S 104-Y VR 1 with Adam S 105-Y VR 1. Two Jewish 50-Year Jubilee Cycles add for 100-Ethiopic-years in each Jewish 105-Year Venus Round. An extra 5-Ethiopic-year tag accounts for the Solar-Side 5-holidays following every 360 day-Tun-year. To obtain 130 Days & Years by numerical matching, multiply 1.25 Days & Years beyond each Venus Round 364 day-Ethiopic-year. Antediluvian Ethiopians divided Lunar/Solar time by four Cardinal (Day) Stars between 360 day-Tun-year and 364 day-Ethiopic-years. Final 365th-days in 365 day-solar-years were not counted during regular annual computations. Last 365th-days and Leap Day fractions were part of Jewish Adam Primary 130-Tun-year Age. Lunar/Solar unity between 360 day-Tun-years and 360-year-Tun-cycles is achieved by deferring quarterly divisions until the next Lunar/Solar Patriarch, Enos. Solar-Side 105-Ethiopic-year Venus Rounds, and their resultant Solar-Side 260-year Tzolken-Sacred-Cycle, provides distinction by inserting Seth 105-Y VR 3-4 between Adam and Enos.

Mayan & Egyptian Antediluvian Calendar Time Stream above is a facsimile of the Jewish version and based upon Solar-Side 104-Ethiopic-year Venus Rounds. Mayan principles behind quarterly division in time and space continue in sister culture today. Lunar/Solar unity between 360 day-Tun-years and 360-year-Tun-cycles is again visible after multiplying Adam Lunar/Solar 104-Ethiopic-year Venus Round 1 (S 104-Y VR 1) by 1.25 Days & Years in the vein of numerical matching. Mesoamerica concentrated calendar efforts that implement Venus Round divisions and multiples. Egyptian measurements utilized star Sirius divisions and multiples. Every 365.25 day-solar-year and 365.25 year-solar-cycle was multiplied by four. Sothic Cycles measuring 1460-solar-years or 1461-solar-years have typically been regressed in Egyptology. Jewish and Mayan & Egyptian Antediluvian Calendar Time Streams were nearly identical.

Jewish Antediluvian Calendar Table version refers to the biblical adaptation 105-year Venus Round. Jewish Adam S 105-Y VR 1 replaces Mayan & Egyptian Adam S 104-Y VR 1 to indicate the Jewish version. Adam S 105-Y VR 2 follows similar naming convention. Adam's second 400-Year Baktun Cycle 2 is the inactive latter half of Adam 800-Year Generation Cycle 1. Jewish Adam S 105-Y VR 2 is also inactive and subdivides later Primary Ages in the Lunar/Solar 260-year Tzolken-Sacred-Cycle. Alternatively, Mayan & Egyptian Antediluvian Calendar version likewise shows Adam S 104-Y VR 2 generates during Adam 400-Year Baktun Cycle 2. Adam profiles first in the Lunar/Solar 260-year Tzolken-Sacred-Cycle.

Adam 400-Year Baktun Cycle 1 generates Jewish Adam S 105-Y VR 1. Numerical matching properties of the 364 day-Ethiopic-year allow Mayan & Egyptian S 104-Y VR 1 to multiply by 1.25-days. Adam Primary 130 Days & Years Age follows matching concepts. Adam S 105-Y VR 2 results in 130 Days & Years to finish Adam 800-Year Generation Cycle 1. Seth S 105-Y VR 3 in red text on the right is a Solar-Side character.

The Holy Bible commits the bulk of this Holy_of_Holies to exploring given ages for the Antediluvian Patriarchs from Enos to Enoch. Ages_of_Adam harvests calendar information from several known sources. The Jewish Calendar, Egyptian Calendar and Measoamerican Calendars assist to discern fundamental requisites of lunar/solar calendar operations. Enhancing our view of ancient time recording, additional materials from the Book of Jubilees, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Book(s) of Enoch and mythological inferences compile for better awareness about ancient calendar systems. Styles of writing and the consistency of meanings are useful in dating ancient texts. The purpose here is to extract pertinent fragmentary evidence offered by ancient writings to facilitate reconstruction of the oldest calendar system.

Supplementary literature serves our calendar interests. Original Septuagint texts translate to compose most of the canonical Holy Bible. The Septuagint is aptly noted LXX, for the legendary seventy or so scholars involved. Ptolemy II (285–247 BCE.) requested six translators from each of the twelve tribes of Israel to work at the library at Alexandria. They translated the first five books of Moses, or the Torah. The Pentateuch is the same name in Greek. Most scholars estimate the latter part of the third century for scripture translations into Greek. We are far more interested in the information disseminated in the text rather than every jot, yod or tittle (Matthew 5:18). In English, this compares to crossing the t’s and dotting the i’s. We can rest assured diligent care was exercised by Septuagint translators in creating Greek rendition(s) of the Bible. According to the Letter of Aristeas, the Jerusalem high priest, Eleazar, was to appoint trained Jewish sages to generate precise translations.

Noteworthy resources embrace various stages of correspondence with several collections attributed to be authentically Septuagint. A survey of the similarities and differences yields more specific calendar information targeted toward resolving the ages listed in chapter 5 of Genesis. Contributing texts are placed against the background of accepted calendar systems. Several Apocryphal (false writings and non-canonical) also came to light between 100 BCE. and 300 AD.

Striking 100-year differences exist between Antediluvian Septuagint calendar ages and those respective ages in the traditional Bible. A contrasting first 100-years of difference exists between the primary age of Adam, as reputed by the Septuagint, and the accepted Adam Primary 130-Tun-year Age in later Holy Bible versions. The Septuagint mentions the primary age of Adam to be 230-years at Seth’s birth. The Septuagint’s primary 230-year age of Adam departs from a wider set of l/s calendar terms, which indicate Septuagint translators were working with discrete 100-years terms. Persistent 100-year differences between the Bible Genesis 5 and Septuagint leads one to distinguish 100-years stood alone in the script.

Evidence traced from the Septuagint suggests that 100-years are an isolated term. Associated numerical matching of X-days with X-years bolsters a more comprehensive schema that situates the difference between the 260-year Tzolken-Sacred-Cycle and the 360-year midpoint (Tun) type of cycle. Mayan Calendar terminology exchanges equivalent 260-year Tzolken-Sacred-Cycles and 360-year-Tun-cycles. Important consideration selecting a 100 Days & Years single term graphically determines the difference between 260 day-Tzolken-sacred-years and 360 day-Tun-years to formulate larger frames of 260-year Tzolken-Sacred-Cycles and 360-year-Tun-cycles. A distinct 100-year term is visible in multiple translated Jewish texts.

Primary age emphasis measures from the characters’ beginning to the primary age time at fatherhood. In the popular Holy Bible, Seth’s primary 105-year age revises to be 205-years in the Septuagint. Scrutiny of the primary 105-year Venus Round 3 age of Seth (S 105-Y VR 3) reinforces the notion that the 100-year portion was likely a 100 Days & Years single term and 5-Ethiopic-years shared the very same treatment. Offset and distinct, 5-Ethiopic-years refers to a special 5 Days & Years single term. Ending the 360-day-Tun-year with the special 5-day Wayeb period agrees with ending a 360-year-Tun-cycle with an outstanding terminal 5-year Wayab. Seth’s final primary age 5-Ethiopic-years or 1,820-days, link with 7-Tzolken-sacred-years in his secondary age. Further numerical matching of 364-day-Ethiopic-years and 364-year-Ethiopic-cycles is integral to resolving whole number integers for solar-side Seth, Cainan and Jared.

One must revert to the older versions, as translated from Torah, to give proper credit to the Holy Bible. Modern English versions of the Holy Bible and study aids often better preserve original settings cast by the Torah. The Greek Septuagint did a more accurate job of translating spiritual underpinnings as opposed to precise numbers. Modern word searches and the capabilities of the Internet enable exhaustive searching.

Septuagint translators had access to Torah scrolls and other manuscripts that modern people may never know. Fire partially destroyed the library at Alexandria when Julius Caesar laid siege to the city in 48 BCE. The Septuagint was the first canon in the Greek before the New Testament. Books and parts of books were included in the canon. Greek editions of the Hebrew Bible in many different languages aided the spread of Christianity. Some early churches rejected Apocryphal and related works. Septuagint research through all stages, amplifications and modifications is a separate study. Every language and even dialect has particular meanings and interpretations akin to itself. New translations and revisions are undergoing development to this day.

The Septuagint mainstream copies generational flow similar to Genesis 5. Adam's 800-year Generation Cycle 1 secondary age, stretching from fatherhood until death, also mutates regarding 700-years in the Septuagint. Primary and secondary ages of Adam are offset by 100-years. Identical 100-year deviations between the sacred texts affect later characters in the Secondary Age Category. Mesoamerican l/s calendar ages were ideally fixed for both 130-years as half of the 260-year-Tzolken-sacred-cycle, and the 400-year Baktun Cycle as half of the larger Adam 800-year Generation Cycle 1.

Original Hebrew texts maintained accuracy in keeping with Mesoamerican Calendar style. Specific calendar units of measurement show the principal time reckoning ingredients embedded as bits and pieces. Differences lasting 100-years continue throughout the remaining Septuagint genealogy. Seth for example, has 205-years in the Primary Age Category when Enos is born. A Septuagint Secondary 707-year Age for Seth likewise indicates a 100-year shortfall from the Holy Bible account. Both cases for Adam and Seth eventually sum their total lifetimes: 930-years for Adam and 912-years for Seth.

Stringent rules for recopying Torah scrolls have always been in effect. Asserted in Deuteronomy 4:2 and 31:24-26, divine instructions must preserve all scriptures intact. Words or meanings cannot be added or removed. Stewardship of the scriptures was granted to the Levite priesthood. The New Testament later affirms the “oracles of God” are committed to the Jewish people (Romans 3:2).

Earliest scriptures designed to protect the sanctity and original meanings inherent to the Hebrew Bible determine the copy practices of the Levite priesthood. Chosen Levites were to make new copies of the Bible as older copies wore out. Meticulous rules were developed for transcribing text. Every page needs to be an exact duplicate, word for word, and letter by letter. Counting numbers of words and/or letters per page permitted comparisons to the original text. Up to three people eventually were required to make a copy. A copyist sat in full Jewish dress, accompanied by at least two others tasked with checking the manuscript for errors. Safeguarding the Sacred Text enabled the acclaimed “fence to the scriptures.” Words and letters remained locked into position. A single mistake caused the entire work to be destroyed and the whole process to be started over.

Temple Scriptures rested inside the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies. The increasing Jewish population used the same methods for worship and observance wherever they settled. Levite scribes continued to painstakingly duplicate and distribute copies. The Masoretic text of the 9th century CE seems to be a standard of authenticity for biblical scholars. Observing technical terminology and relevant style helps to date scrolls and other written information. The last Old Testament Prophet and scribe, Ezra is said to have fixed the canon of the Old Testament about 400 BCE. Masoretic text also refers to later versions that date between 500 - 1000 CE. The moral to this condensed story is to realize due precautions have been observed to ensure the highest degree of content and meaning are conveyed by the new copy. Early pathways of the Holy Bible tell the story of Judaism and the calendar practices of ancient civilization.

Examination of 100-years in divergence precludes simple editorial corruption concerning frequency and deliberate variations of the Antediluvian ages. The 100-day & year single term begins to take on new meaning. Two separate components of 50-year Jubilee Cycle(s) from Leviticus add together to report the 100-day & year single term. Sabbath periods of 7-weeks having 50-days are celebrated by the Jewish Calendar festivals of Passover and Counting the Omer that leads to Shav’ot. King James Version (KJV), New International Version (NIV) and many other versions have corrected any Septuagint errors to reflect original Hebrew.

The Hebrew alphabet is a language and numbering system. Translating numbers into Latin, Greek and finally English combines the numerical value and unit. Two passes of the Jubilee Cycle 50-day & year single term, rather than 100-years, substantially alters our interpretation of the Antediluvian ages. Original Hebrew documents such as The Book of Jubilees and the Book(s) of Enoch counted the number of time cycle repetitions or addressed specific days and months during the year. Counting Jubilees as either 49-years or 50-years has been a point of controversy in scholarly circles. Sabbath 7-day weeks and 7-year-weeks involve the lunar-side of l/s calendars. Many works mention a decree proclaiming heavenly tablets held written calendar information.

The Book of Jubilees, or the Book of Divisions, is another sacred historical text introduced earlier in Ages_of_Adam. Most likely written in the 2nd century BCE, The Book of Jubilees is a historical account from Creation to Moses. The narrative divides Jubilee periods into 49-years in a familiar story comparable to Genesis. The only complete version of The Book of Jubilees is Ethiopian. Large sections survive in Latin and Greek.
