 yeah, for sure 6000 years is between Adam and Noah, and I suppose Adam was like 20 when he was taken to Eden, and he lived 900 and that was the norm for another  7 generations, until you get to Noah

so yeah, that implies that probably Adam was after the 12000 year point, by maybe 1200 years, and the Great Flood was 6000 years ago, as the rest of the timeline fits with that

the thing is that the period between Noah and Abraham is quite vague, and it rather seems to me like Babel and Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by some kind of intermediate disaster nothing like as bad as Noah's disaster

one of the other things about this is that the magnetic field of the earth weakening during these rotations of the galactic current sheet (a magnetic field that radiates from the centre of the galaxy) turns about 90' each 600 years according to many measurements and by the geological evidence this is a cycle that entails periods where the earth does not block radiation normally for about 600 years or so (look up the Laschamp Event) and this leads to all kinds of changes in weather and volcanic and seismic events happening more intensely

i need to read Genesis again from the bible, to line it up with what i've read in Jubilees and i'm just up to the late days of Jacob currently in Jasher... just to see how the number of generations and the ages of the seed of Adam is between to Noah and then to Abraham, because Noah's time was the great flood and it looks like Abraham came out of the time after Babel and Sodom, and that there might actually be something of a gap in there that is implied

anyway, yeah, gotta read more Genesis, and finish Jasher, and read em all again... and dammit, i am supposed to be building software lol
