As a rough guide to the pattern of the ages of the patriarchs, the two charts below indicate by the patterns formed their reduction in life span by the catastrophic changes of conditions and climate. Firstly by the Universal Flood and secondly by the division of Eden in the formation of the continents. Please be aware that the scale of ages is bigger in the second chart.
