4004B.C.

The Fall Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden for only a short time. On the 10th day, the Fall of Man occurred Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s command not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. With the Fall, death and suffering became part of life; as well as our need for a Savior, the perfect sac-rifice for our sins so we can have eternal salvation.

Adam surely knew Methuselah, who was alive

when Noah lived. The account of creation was

easily passed down.

Day 10 Angry and jealous, Cain

killed his brother Abel. It’s the first murder in history.

Abel, a shepherd, honored God by offering the firstborn of his flocks (e.g., mimicked what God did in Gen. 3:21). The Lord accepted Abel’s offering, but rejected Cain’s because it was not a similar offering.

Megalithic building(large stone)Advances in agriculture Shipbuilding – both ocean

and river vessels – occurs globally

Flush toilets The Indus Valley (India and Pakistan, who were decendents of Arphaxad of Joktan and others) has been the site of several early civilizations. These include the Harappan Civilization – named after the

modern city of Harappa in which ancient ruins were excavated. Agriculture, hydraulic engineering, working

with metal, artisans, and to trades-men – they were a skilled

civilization where people in the cities even had flush toilets in their homes! What is most

amazing is that the water and sewer systems

of these ancient cities are more efficient than some of the modern systems in place today!

God commands mankind to fill the earth.(Gen. 11:1–4)

Early ship building There is evidence that early civilizations were not intimidated by ocean travel or build-ing big ships. Noah’s Ark is not the only massive ship constructed in antiquity. China would create massive transports and ships of war, as would Egypt. The Khufu Ship (right), 143 feet long and built of wood in

c.2500 B.C. was found buried at the foot of the Great Pyramid. Another massive wooden vessel was the Tessarakonteres, which was 420-feet long. Noah’s Ark was around 500 feet long.
