had access to many religious writings and teachings now lost with the passing of the archives in Egypt, in Alexandria, Heliopolis, and Sais. Certainly the Ten commandments were a condensation of the forty-two questions of Osiris for entering heaven. If Moses did write part of the Old Testament, he then must have had Nagai tablet writings, or Egyptian interpretations of them handed down to the Egyptians for thousands years through the royal households; and the Egyptian priesthood had knowledge of a cataclysm 11,500 years ago (from our time). Priests of Egypt are supposed to have told Solon during his ten years in Egypt (about 600 B.C.) that 9,000 years before that time there was a cataclysm which buried Atlantis beneath the ocean. Note that 9,000 + 600 B.C. + 1,950 A.D. = 11,550 years ago.

Moses’ brother, Aaron, became the first chief in priest of the Hebrews about 1,300 B.C. Somewhere between 15 and 18 generations later, the chief priesthood having been handed down from father to son through the generations, Seraiah (or Seraias) was the chief priest (See Ezra, and 1 & 2 Ezdras). Later, in 586 B.C., in the 19th year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, Seraiah was executed, and his son Ezra made a captive in Persia (See 2 Kings). Jerusalem was sacked, and all Hebrew laws and records of the Old Testament were burnned with the temple at Jerusalem, by Nebuza-adan, Nebuchadnezzar’s Captain of the Guard.

In In 458 B.C., the seventh year of Artaxerxes’ reign Persia, Ezra was commissioned to reestablish the Hebrew religion and law. According to 2 Ezdras, Ezra rewrote the history of the Hebrews from the beginning, and reestablished their laws.

Now, from 586 to 458 B.C. is 128 years. The latest that Ezra could have been born was after his father Seraiah’s execution, as well could be (see Onan’s story, Genesis 38:8 through 10); therefore, the youngest he could have been in 458 B.C. was 127. He was working on a long memory.

Let’s examine this anomaly. As mentioned before, the lineage from Aaron to Ezra contains from 17 to 20 generations, including Aaron and Ezra. Assuming (1) 1,300 B.C. to be the start of Aaron’s priesthood (1,290 B.C. is adjudged to be the time of the Exodus); (2) 458 B.C. to be near the end of Ezra’s priesthood; then we find the average priesthood term per generation to be between and 5 years. In view of this, can we believe that Ezra served his priesthood for approximately 130 years? Which includes his entire life span?

It would appear much more plausible to assume that it was Ezra’s grandfather Azariah, rather than his father Seraiah, who was the one taken and executed by Nebuchadnezzar’s men in 586 B.C. Then Seraiah and Ezra would have served as chief priests from 586 to 458 B.C., for an average of 64 years apiece. It is even
