There is an ancient stone list of Sumerian rulers that extends into 'antediluvian' rulers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumerian_King_List#Antediluvian_rulers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumerian_King_List#Antediluvia... Egypt recorded similar. Dan Carlin references A.T. Olmstead in describing how the ancient world believed had eras of its own antiquities. It begins by referencing an event in 500 BCE but then proceeds to move further back in time. It's in the first King of Kings episode, with context starting at around 32:00 and the quote starting somewhere after 33:30. (Here's a direct link to the mp3: http://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/b/6/4/b64b6fbb6092322d/dchha56_Kings_of_Kings.mp3 http://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/b/6/4/b64b6fbb6092322d/dchha56_Kin...) Now, this same list says that these individual rulers lived for thousands of years. Obviously that is something of a red flag in terms of applying this list literally. To me, though, it raises a lot of questions. In conversation, however, it usually goes nowhere.
