The “ grand year ” of Astronomy — or the time anciently supposed to be required for the sun, planets, and fixed stars, to return to the same celestial starting-point — ■was at first 25,000, then 36,000, and lastly 432,000 years; being the supposed duration of the ten Graeco-Chaldaean generations. A Deluge terminated the cycle. (563) 2d Nate.—The Phamico-Chaldann list, derived from Sanconiatho, presents us with the Greek translations, not with the real names of its lost Oriental original. The Phoenicians had originally crossed from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean, and their intercourse with Clialdaca was inces- sant; while the two people spoke Semitic dialects. More saliently than the other two forms of the same theogony, this Phoenician stream exhibits the rationale of its “ ex post facto ” con- struction. According to it, we have the stages of family, hunter, fisherman, arlizan, husband- man, soldier,priest, and king, through which antique humanity developed itself. A parallelism seems to be preserved in the offshoots of the Adamic stem in Genesis, where Abel the wandering shepherd is hateful to Cain the sedentary peasant.
