 | | Sumerians said one year on planet Nibiru, a sar, was equivalent in time to 3600 Earth years. | | | According to the King List - 120 sars had passed from the time the Annunaki arrived on Earth to the time of the Flood. | | | Ea would have been over 120 sars old at that time, yet his activity with humanity continued to be actively reported for thousands of years thereafter. |

| | The antediluvian patriarchs and the Sumerian King List |
| | However, it is evident that his source for the antediluvian kings did not claim that the different kingships were successive. | | | This would have been the right environment for the production of a work such as the King List that seeks to present the history of Babylonia as a succession of different national kingdoms passing from one city to another. | | | This is very close to the total in the Sumerian antediluvian document. |

| | This has led some to suggest that Gilgamesh himself was a historical king of Uruk, and not just a legendary one. | | | Their rules are measured in sars - periods of 3600 years - the next unit up after 60 in Sumerian counting (3600 = 60x60), and in ners - units of 600. | | | The kingship was believed to be handed down by the gods, and could be passed from one city to another by military conquest. |

| | Flood -- The Lists of Antediluvian Kings: A Coded Document by Patrice Guinard |
| | Berossus borrowed his narrative from the archives of Babylonia-Borsippa, and these archives themselves, with regard to the Creation and the first ages of the world, copied revelations ostensibly inscribed on tablets by Oannes, the first fish-man and "the inventor of letters, sciences and arts, the founder of laws, cities and all civilization. | | | B.C. The record is found on some fifteen tablets, primarily from the archives of Nippur (cf. | | | This particular battle, that I have waged now for several years, has led me to conclusions that I find satisfying in part. |

| | This parallels the biblical account somewhat, except that the life-spans represented in the Sumerian King List are a lot longer than those in the biblical account. | | | The list is of special interest to the biblical archaeological community, particularly because of its antediluvian (pre-flood) portion. | | | First, because it mentions an antediluvian civilization and a cataclysmic deluge, and second, because the pre-flood kings have really long life-spans (as is evidenced by their really long reigns). |
