The impossible reign lengths of the Sumerian King List

The King List is a detailed account of kingships stretching into the prehistory of the Sumerian people. Beside telling us that they descended from heaven and features non-human reign lengths.

Interestingly, between Adam and Noah there are eight generations, just as there are eight kings between the beginning of kingship and the flood in the Sumerian King List.

ETA: Totally a person. Thanks, Wikipedia! (I should probably have just looked for his name earlier in the text.)
