From ADAM until the Israelites liberation from Egyptian Slavery

Many Bible students, theologians, clergy and scholars have read about the Patriarchs,and some archaeologists have ascertained a chronology similar to this method in determining how long human beings have lined on planet Earth. This study places more of an emphasis on the contemporary setting and how far into the subsequent generations did each of the pre and post-anteleuvian father's live. The timeframe is a rough estimate based upon calculating as well as adding up the most significant ancestor's age and who they begot as well as any other age-related event as mentioned in the Biblical narrative.

SETH- Begot Enosh after 105 years, and he lived a total of 912 years (Cp. Genesis 5: 6, 12). He died 14 years before Noah was born when Lamech was 168 years old.
