#WHERE DID THE WIFE OF SETH COME FROM SO FAR ADAM IS THE FIRST MAN ON EARTH?
If you read the verse at Genesis 5:4, it says Adam had other sons than Cain, Abel, and Seth. And he had daughters too. “After becoming father to Seth, Adam lived for 800 years. And he became father to sons and daughters.” Genesis 5:4. Mankind hadnt had enough generations yet to accumulate corrupted genes to produce impared children. At that time they married sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, cousins, whoever was available. Marriages with close blood relatives was not prohibited until God gave Moses the Law. That was about 2500 years later.
Depends on the animal.
Do you remember these guys:
Siegfried and Roy. Two of the biggest acts ever to appear in Vegas. They did magic with live animals like tigers, lions and others. That is until once night in 2003 Roy, I think he’s the one on the left, was mauled by one of the tigers.
Supposedly the tiger got spooked and attacked him leaving him terribly injured. He claimed later that the tiger tried to save him as it pulled him off stage.
They would raise these cats from the time they were young. Living with them and even sleeping with them in the same bed until the cats were year old. But even then they were wild animals and an animal like that can turn on you in an instant.
You can never truly tame a wild animal even if you raise it from birth. Their instincts are still very very real and dangerous.
EDIT: Comments turned off as everybody keeps saying the same things. Yes I said that wild animals can’t truly be tamed. No need to keep repeating that.
The main problem with looking for a real Arthur is that ”Arthur” isn’t a name, but a nickname - it means “The Bear”.
However, we know that the earliest Arthurian tales are set in South Wales and north Cornwall (which are only a short commute by boat apart) and mention people we know really did live in South Wales in around 450AD.
Slightly later tales say both that Camelot was at Winchester, and that it was in Wales. On the face of it that’s impossible. However, in South Wales, just over the border with England, is a village called Caerwent. Caer-venta and Win-chester are the same name in different languages: it means “fortified town with a market”. We know that modern Winchester was sometimes actually called Caerwent, so it’s likely that modern Caerwent was sometimes called Winchester.
Nowadays Caerwent is a blink-and-you-missed-it village, but in the 5thC it was one of the last great strongholds of Roman Britain, a fortified administration centre surrounded by 32-ft-high walls, with a stream bringing boats to moor up near the walls.
It is about six miles east along the coast from Caerleon (“fortified town of the legions”), a Roman town once so famous and cosmopolitan it was known as The Second Rome. The Arthurian myths refer to a “place of the legions”. Caerleon had a massive cavalry barracks, and a small but well-preserved amphitheatre which has been rumoured to be the origin of the Round Table, as it would make a decent parliament building, especially when it still had a roof.
The two together, Caerwent and Caerleon, are very defensible. They are near the coast and can see anyone coming by water, and they are linked by known Roman beacon signals and sit on a narrow strip of farmland backed by mountains, so it would be difficult for an enemy to take either town before the other could send reinforcements.
As for attacks coming from inland, over the mountains, above Caerwent stands a hill fort and lookout point which is now called Llanmellyn but was once Caer Mellyn - the possible origin of Camelot.

There are also suggestions that Arthur may have been Owain Danwyn, a king in north-west Wales circa 440AD, and who was supposedly sometimes referred to as The Bear. He was also based farther east at Viroconium, modern Wroxeter, in Shropshire. This is about 65 miles north of Caerwent: but Arthurian legends place Arthur at multiple sites up the West of Britain from Cornwall to Loch Lomond. Britain really was divided longitudinally at that time, with everything from Cornwall to Galloway being one Welsh-speaking culture, so Arthur may well have had multiple bases throughout that region.
