And as it was asked why the mention of prophets before Adam, the father of mankind, and the kings of those times is not found in books of history: the absence of mention has not been and is not proof of nonexistence; in view of the length of time and the upheavals of the earth, it has not remained. And besides this, before Adam, the father of mankind, the rules of writing and the customs that are now among people did not exist; and when there was any, there was absolutely no practice of writing—another kind was customary. And if the details were mentioned, the explanation would become lengthy. Consider the differences after Adam: at the beginning these known languages mentioned on earth did not exist, and likewise these customary rules in other tongues.
