• One source calls this city as Larak and call king #7 as Ensibzianna, whereas the same place king #8 as Enmenduranna, with the city of Sippar.

• If the Flood occurred around 6,000 B.C. as I propose, then #7 would be Lamech, who lived to be 777 years old, and had a son Noah at age 53 or at 182-188 years of age, between 6014-6600 B.C.
      If king #7 with 21,000 years ruled which is based on 5 sars and 5 ner, claimed to be 3,600 years for each sar, is actually 3,600 days, then the value would change to around 58 years and 120 days ruled.    If a sar were equal to 18 years and 11 days, then it would be 92.5 years ruled.    This puts it more in range of the birth of Lamech's son, Noah.
