Antediluvian Era Gen ch2

Scrolls not written yet. All oral tradition with some stones or caves recording parts of stories. For some this time period is a metaphor, and for others its literal. One recommendation I have is St Ephrem the Syrian and his poem on "Hymns on Paradise" and contrast that with St Basil of Caesarea "Hexameron." Whatever the world looked like in chapter 2, it is represented by the mystical cloud and probably a type of pangea. Stories were passed from parents to children. See my Bible Compilation below for a reference to how long people lived, and how many generations (ancestors) patriarchs would have lived to possibly pass on orally the story of creation to Shem, Noah, and Abraham. For purposes of approximate calculations I used a made up formula of (Current Year minus Number on Era) to help give the viewer a timeline. For example 2025 AD - 1 year = event happened 2024 AD; or 2025 AD - 7579 year = -5554 which is 5554 BC, which is what Genesis chapter 2 represents. The same math can be used for the rest of the maps. This example used "map-01-pangea-era-7579". Since the calculations up to Abraham have divergence between LXX, SP, and JPS I used a "slash" to help give two variants. For more variants, see Page 10 of 17 for a chart. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YSualWA1JQ4OxE58KJvHIfhkWEAYfAPhQEl8s9WTSt8/edit?usp=sharing
