“ So that the number of all the kings is ten, and the term which they 
collectively reigned, 120 sari.” — Cory, Ancient Fragments, p. 20, et seq. 
120 sari=432,000 years (?). “ Now a sarus is 3,600 years — a neros 600 — 
and a sossus 60.” 
It is remarkable that whilst in the Bible we have ten generations in the 
line of Noah, we have also the same number of generations from the first 
king of Chaldea to the reign of Noah — the reverent worshipper of the 
Chaldean historians. The length of the reigns presents a difficulty ; but it 
is also difficult to understand how the antediluvians could have lived as 
long, as we usually admit, unless by special and continued miraculous power. 
This hypothesis might, perhaps, be admitted without extending such a 
gift of nearly a thousand years of life to the rest of mankind ? We ought 
not to deduce our conclusions as to the period of man’s past existence from 
one science alone, such as geology ; but from a review of the whole history 
of mankind, taking into consideration all that bears upon the question. 
This has never yet been properly attempted.
