Rhodri - We had a great flood in between, did we not? Then everyone would have to be descendants of Noah, not just Adam and Eve. Yes? Kind of like with an hourglass, we'd have to start over with Noah.

How therefore could he be the 77th King of Ireland. If Katherine Middleton is his 78th Great Granddaughter she must at the most the 155th Great Granddaughter of Adam and Eve. Allowing a generous 3 generations per century, then Adam and Eve lived 5200 years ago approx. Adam and his descendants must have been more prolific than "Olioll Casfiacalach" to have populated the world in such a short time. Stonehenge commenced 4600 years ago. Pyramids in Egypt commenced 4600 years ago. 20 Generations from Adam and Eve, and there was a work-force of thousands. Anyone who subscribes to this, needs his head tested, which is why I cannot have any faith in anything else they say. I suppose it provides light entertainment, for list members.
