How did the first generations survive after Eden? Methuselah lived 969 years, and he wasn’t even the point of the story.
Lamech lived 777. Noah, 950. Shem, 600. The numbers keep dropping — and so does almost everything else around them.
In this episode of Veil & Broc, we follow seven names from the Genesis genealogy — Methuselah to Eber — and watch what quietly changes underneath them: the diet, once purely plant-based, that allows meat for the first time after the flood; the one shared language that fractures at Babel; and the thread that somehow survives all of it anyway.
Because in the end, it was never about how long anyone lived. It’s about what they managed to pass on before the numbers ran out.
