Little is known about the civilisation that existed prior to the [[Great Flood|flood of Noah's time]], as the flood wiped out most if not all trace of it, although the Bible mentions a few details, such as [[Tubal-Cain]] working with [[bronze]] and [[iron]].

The Bible also records the lifespans of the line from [[Adam]] to [[Noah]], revealing that these people lived between 777 years and 969 years<ref>{{Bible ref|Genesis|5}}</ref>, except for one ([[Enoch]]) whom God took away.<ref>{{Bible ref|Genesis|5|21-24}}</ref>

The ages of each of these people when the next in line was born is given, allowing us to determine that this period covered 1,656 years.

According to lifespans recorded in the Bible, during the several hundred years after the flood lifespans dropped rapidly, possibly due to the the [[genetic bottleneck]] caused by the flood.<ref>Wieland, 1998</ref>

After the flood, God told Noah to "fill the Earth"<ref>{{Bible ref|Genesis|9|1}}</ref>, but Noah's descendants failed to do this, and instead remained together, even building at [[Tower of Babel|Babel]] a tower "reaching to the heavens" as a focal point for the new civilisation.<ref>{{Bible ref|Genesis|11|4}}</ref>
