The Genesis account of the flood in the days of Noah illustrated this 360-day year by recording the 150-day interval till the waters abated from the earth.

forty days

Rain fell for “forty days and forty nights” during the Flood (Genesis 7:4). Noah waited for forty days after the tops of mountains were seen after the flood, before releasing a raven (Genesis 8:5-7).

About 232 million years ago, during a span known as the Carnian age, it rained almost everywhere. After millions of years of dry climates, Earth entered a wet period lasting one million to two million years. Nearly any place where geologists find rocks of that age, there are signs of wet weather.

Noah died 350 years after the flood, at the age of 950, the last of the extremely long-lived Antediluvian patriarchs. The maximum human lifespan, as depicted by the Bible, gradually diminishes thereafter, from almost 1,000 years to the 120 years of Moses.

The entry of Adam into the Garden only forty days after his creation (eighty for Eve).

Dorothy Pentreath (16 May 1692 [baptised] – 26 December 1777), known as Dolly, was the last known native speaker of the Cornish language. She is also the best-known of the last fluent speakers of Cornish.

Inhabitants of Cornwall may have multiple political allegiances, adopting mixed, dual or hyphenated identities such as “Cornish first and British second”, “Cornish and British and European”, or, like Phil Vickery (a rugby union prop for the England national rugby union team and British and Irish Lions), describe …

The economy of Cornwall in South West England, is largely dependent upon agriculture followed by tourism. Cornwall is one of the poorest areas in the United Kingdom with a GVA of 70.9% of the national average in 2015. The agricultural/food industry in Cornwall employs 9,500 people, (4.9% of all Cornish employees.)

In pre-Roman times, Cornwall was part of the kingdom of Dumnonia. Later, it was known to the Anglo-Saxons as West Wales, to distinguish it from North Wales, that is, modern-day Wales. The name Cornwall is a combination of two elements.

The six territories widely considered Celtic nations are Brittany (Breizh), Cornwall (Kernow), Wales (Cymru), Scotland (Alba), Ireland (Éire) and the Isle of Man (Mannin, or Ellan Vannin).

Today, the last redoubt of Celtic language in France can be found in the northwestern region of Brittany, although this is not the result of a survival of Gaulish language but of a 5th-century AD migration of Brythonic speaking Celts from Britain.

The Welsh (Welsh: Cymry) are a Celtic nation and ethnic group native to Wales. “Welsh people” applies to those who were born in Wales (Welsh: Cymru) and to those who have Welsh ancestry, perceiving themselves or being perceived as sharing a cultural heritage and shared ancestral origins.

The Celtic languages (usually /ˈkɛltɪk/, but sometimes /ˈsɛltɪk/ in the US) are a group of related languages descended from Proto-Celtic. They form a branch of the Indo-European language family. Welsh is an official language in Wales and Irish is an official language of Ireland and of the European Union.

To what other languages is it related? The closest relatives of Welsh are the other p-Celtic languages, of which the other modern representatives are Cornish and Breton, which are also descendants of Brythonic.

Welsh people could lay claim to be the most ancient Britons, according to scientists who have drawn up a genetic map of the British Isles. Research suggests the Welsh are genetically distinct from the rest of mainland Britain.

The term “Gaelic”, as a language, applies only to the language of Scotland. If you’re not in Ireland, it is permissible to refer to the language as Irish Gaelic to differentiate it from Scottish Gaelic, but when you’re in the Emerald Isle, simply refer to the language as either Irish or its native name, Gaeilge.
