A tablet believed to be 1000 or 5000
Years old and to antedste the book OF
Genesis by 1000 years sets forth, ac.
eording to the translation Of DR.
Steven Langdon of Oxford university
England. that It was Noah and not
Adam and Eve who brought about the
fall of man. Noah was commanded
not to eat OF the cassia tree in the gar
den of paradise. the translation has it
and when he dlsobeyed the curse Of III
health and an early death instead Of
a life span of $4,000 years like that OF
bis ancestors, fell on him. According
to Babylonian and Sumerian accounts
the flood occurred about $4,000 years
before Christ, and the period between
that catastrophe and creation-432. 000
years-was filed in by ten kings, SO
that each must have ruled something
like 1920 years. The comparatively
short relgns of later kings is explained
as being the result OF Noah's sin In cat
