Yeah, that's part of it. I mean, you have that and you have the Sumerian king lists, which have people living hundreds and thousands of years too. And I mean, there are some interesting academic articles on like the probability of the numbers that come up in those. Because we have a base 10 counting system because we count our fingers.

Ancient Near Eastern cultures like the Babylonians, the Akkadians, the Assyrians, they had a base 12 counting system because they would count each hinge or whatever you call these, like spaces, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12.

Marc Thiessen Yeah, the joints. That's what I was looking for. Trevor Burrus Yeah. And so that's why we have 360 degrees in a circle, 365 days in a year. Like this comes from the Mesopotamian counting conventions. And you look at some of these lists and they're operational and all divisible by like 12 and 60. And you're like, what's going on here?

So not all of them, but enough of them where it's statistically impossible. And- I don't totally know what to make of those things because you do have the genealogies. I believe it's Genesis chapter 4 and Genesis chapter 11 where they're all divisible by these types of numbers that were very common in the ancient Near East. They're not random.

Whereas if you look at the genealogies later in like Chronicles and Kings of the ages of the Israelite kings, they're random. And so it's just like what do we do with that? Because numbers are also far more – representational, which is why we see numbers like 12 and 40 and seven come up in the Bible, but also other ancient Near Eastern literature.

Like there are certain numbers in Egyptian society that also were seen as like perfect numbers or like numbers that you wanted to incorporate. So-
