An antecedent question: Are we on the same page: When do the first men appear in the fossil record? The three rival dating forms of the Sumerian King List. (Part 6C, Chapter 1) section a], subsection i]: An antecedent question: Are we on the same page: When do the first men appear in the fossil record? An antecedent question is, Why do I regard the flood dates for Sumerian and Babylonian King Lists (and later in Part 6C, Chapter 2, the Egyptian King List) as credible, or potentially credible? The answer relates to my understanding of when man first appears in the fossil record vis-à-vis the dates found in a critical usage of these records for a Noah’s Flood date of c. 35,000 B.C. +/- 1,500 years. According to the broad view of secular anthropology , the archaeological layers of the Stone Age are dated from between c. 250,000 to 200,000 B.C., and known as the Paleolithic Period, or Old Stone Age. It is characterized by simple pebble tools, although a more sophisticated chopper, chopping tool industry is found in the Lower Paleolithic Period in the Eastern Hemisphere and generally connected to what Darwinian secularists call “ Homo Erectus ,” or I as a creationist would call, Satyrus Bestiarius Erectus (Upright Satyr Beast, c. 1.8 million - c. 140,000 B.C., found in Europe, Asia, and Africa). The Paleolithic Period is in turn depicted by Darwinian secularists as continuing till c. 8,000 B.C. in North-West Europe, at which time the Mesolithic Period, or Middle Stone Age, unique to North-West Europe, is seen to occur till c. 2,700 B.C., in which contemporaneously with Paleolithic cultures, there was an adaptation and advancement of stone implements to make more efficient hunters and vegetable food gatherers. This is then followed by the Neolithic Period, or New Stone Age from c. 2,700 B.C. By contrast, outside of North-West Europe the transition is directly from the Paleolithic Period to the Neolithic Period, or New Stone Age. The Neolithic Period starts from c. 8,000 B.C. in the Fertile Crescent of Mesopotamia and the Nile Valley, with domestic animals and crops, so that men are no longer dependent on a hunter-gatherer culture. In the Neolithic Age, stone tools were made from polishing or grinding, and permanent village life was established with crafts such as weaving and pottery established. In Mesopotamia, the Neolithic Age made settled villages by c. 7,000 B.C. along the Tigris 1179 and Euphrates Rivers; and spread out to the Indus River Valley of India by c. 5,000 B.C. The Neolithic Age is also found in south-east Asia with millet and rice on the Yellow River Valley of China by c. 3,500 B.C. However, in the Americas, the Neolithic Period was reached independently, with the domestication of corn (maize), beans, and squash, from c. 6,500 B.C., and a sedentary societal village life achieved by c. 2,000 B.C. The Americas remained in this Stone Age till the Western European Caucasoid Conquest of the Mongoloid Americas radically dragged it culturally forward. But in Europe and Asia there was a development to the Bronze Age when men combined copper and tin to make bronze, which replaced stone for use as weapons and tools. However, the early part of the Bronze Age is also sometimes called the Chalcolithic Age or Copper Age, and found in Asia Minor by c. 6,500 B.C., in Greece, Mesopotamia, and China by c. 3,000 B.C., and in Britain by c. 1,900 B.C. 1. Defects with this view of secular anthropology. The same basic problem that exists with secular geologists accurately building up a picture of a given geological layer, but then bringing an inaccurate macroevolutionist interpretation to it, exists with these archeological layers. What these secular archeologists are calling the Paleolithic Period did indeed exist in the broad type of dates they are using. However, we are NOT looking at human cultures, but satyr beast cultures under much of what is being called “The Stone Age.” The replacement of these satyr beasts by Adamites is confused in the archaeological record by virtue of the fact that Adamites appear to have frequently adopted a satyr beast culture as they spread out in a debased way from the Persian Gulf area after Noah’s Flood on by best estimate c. 35,000 B.C. (although the fuller range of possible dates for Noah’s Flood I use are c. 66,000-34,000 B.C., in which c. 66,000 B.C. has an error bar that could possibly reach back around another 4,000 years, even though on the presently available data I have seen its starting point seems more likely to be at the lower end range of c. 66,000 B.C.). But we know that Aper satyr beasts continued to exist in Australia till they went extinct c. 11,000-8,000 B.C., at which time they then mysteriously disappear; and so too the Aper and Neanderthal disappeared elsewhere. But of course, even here, Adamites could pick up and use, e.g., the stone bowls of an Aper group they observed for some time and then killed off, and thereafter make more of the same type, so that this could look like a cultural continuity in the archeological record, when in fact it was a cultural continuity amidst species change from satyr beasts to Adamite men 2. This type of factor is very important for something like the Bronze Age. Bronze appears in Mesopotamia by c. 3,000 B.C.; and Tubal-Cain, “an instructor of every artificer in brass (Hebrew nechosheth , or ‘bronze’ or ‘copper’) and iron” (Gen. 4:23) is itemized as a son of Lamech and so late in Cain’s line, and hence his prima facie date which is before Noah’s Flood prima facie date of c. 2,500 B.C., means that this 1 Encyclopaedia Britannica CD99 (1999), op. cit. , “Stone Age,” “Paleolithic Period,” “Mesolithic Period,” “Neolithic Period,” & “Bronze Age.” 2 Concerning the APER (African Pre-Edenic Race) Satyr Beasts, see Volume 1, Part 2, Chapter 6, section iii. 1180 appearance of bronze in Mesopotamia is being used on these prima facie dates to type the much earlier appearance of “brass and iron” in the Persian Gulf antediluvian world sometime before Noah’s Flood of c. 35,000 B.C. +/- 1,500 years. Hence the survival of a copper culture from this Persian Gulf society was evidently transported into Asia Minor as the waters of the Persian Gulf destroyed the civilizations in the area now under the waters of the Persian Gulf, for which reason a Chalcolithic Age or Copper Age. It is found in Asia Minor by c. 6,500 B.C., and either from here, or possibly more directly in conjunction with further cross-fertilization of culture from the civilizations now under the waters of the Persian Gulf, the Bronze Age came to Mesopotamia by c. 3,000 B.C. But the absence of this cultural stimulus in the Americas meant that it stayed in the Stone Age which had been picked up from satyr beasts by debased Adamites entering the Americas c. 12,000-8,000 B.C. (although a small number of out-of-Eden Persian Gulf persons might have gone by boat down the west coast of North America to Peru in South America, although this is speculative and by no means certain 3). As to what happened to the earlier working in “iron” (Gen. 4:22), the fact that in Egypt beads have been found made from meteoric iron dating from c. 3,500 B.C. 4, shows that meteors may well have likewise been the source for such iron in the antediluvian times before Noah’s Flood of c. 35,000 B.C.; and once again, this particular knowledge and technology transported out of the region now under the waters of the Persian Gulf, seemingly first to Egypt. This type of synthesis of Biblical and archaeological data which regards the Bible as a reliable book, means that I consider that very frequently the secular anthropologists are mixing and mismatching data from satyr beasts with data from Adamites.
