When [[archaeologists]] dig up the clay-tablet records of the later-day Sumerian descendants of the [[Nodites]], they discover lists of Sumerian kings running back for several thousand years; and as these records go further back, the reigns of the individual kings lengthen from around twenty-five or thirty years up to one hundred and fifty years and more. This lengthening of the reigns of these older kings signifies that some of the early Nodite rulers (immediate descendants of the [[Prince’s staff]]) did live longer than their later-day successors and also indicates an effort to stretch the dynasties back to [[Dalamatia]].
