The bible infers that before the biblical deluge, there were giants in them days, if the bible is taken literally men were giants in them days, lived much longer, it seems according to this verse from within the Second book of Adam and Eve, that Seth requested a roof be built over their altar to God, The Great Pyramid of Giza might well be the roof built by Seths decendants documented in The Second Book of Adam and Eve. God accepted their offering for asking for a blessing from God. It must of been quite a roof, interestingly Seth was quite well aware of the "Great" 5 1/2 (God days)(5,500 years) till the "Savior" [the Word] would be sent, which we all know was fullfilled when a virgin conceived and beared the body for the Word {Emmanuel, the savior [God come in the flesh], though its quite interesting that the Great Pryamid of Giza could well be a holy place, given the biblical flood waters evidences of the erosion of the Sphinx, makes one wonder if under the flood sediments (hydroplate theory)(genesis talking of the erupting fountains of the deep), if there is an opening under this pyramid (pre-flood) where Seth went to burn his offering unto God praying to God to accept his prayer for his children, etc... An altar under the pyramid, would it not answer any vent holes supporting the burning of offerings coming from the center of the pryamid, the entrance to this altar, buried by the sediments of the biblical flood preserving not just this entrance but all the fossils buried within the sediment of the entire earth, etc... For the Egyptians to of built the pyramid based off the great 5 1/2 days within the books of Adam and Eve, they would of had to come unto the scene in historical records over 5,848 years ago, to discredit the biblical flood, Likely Egyptian historical record agree they came onto the scene after the flood occurred, less than 6,000 years, given by the books of Adam and Eve, it makes from Adam to present approximately 7,500 years, making the The Great Giza Pyramid built approximately 6,570-6,458 years ago after Adam had already died, and before Seth died, Seth lived to be 912 years, and Adam lived to be 930 years, etc...
Forgotten Books of Eden: Second Book of Adam and Eve
Chapter XII.
Seth's family affairs. His death. The headship of Enos. How the outcast branch of Adam's family fared.
THEN Seth, the just, called his son Enos, and Cainan, son of Enos, and Mahalaleel, son of Cainan, and said unto them:-
2 "As my end is near, I wish to build a roof over the altar on which gifts are offered."
3 They hearkened to his commandment and went out, all of them, both old and young, and worked hard at it, and built a beautiful roof over the altar.
4 And Seth's thought, in so doing, was that a blessing should come upon his children on the mountain; and that he should present an offering for them before his death.
5 Then when the building of the roof was completed, he commanded them to make offerings. They worked diligently at these, and brought them to Seth their father who took them and offered them upon the altar; and prayed God to accept their offerings, to have mercy on the souls of his children, and to keep them from the hand of Satan.
6 And God accepted his offering, and sent His blessing upon him and upon his children. And then God made a promise to Seth, saying, "At the end of the great five days and a half, concerning which I have made a promise to thee and to thy father, I will send My Word and save thee and thy seed."
P.S. Concerning the offerings burned by Seth just before his death, under the roof he requested built, quite possibly (The Pyramid of Giza)(we all know the Egyptians would like to take credit for the Great Giza Pryamid) Interestingly, God accepted the offerings burned by Seth before his death and promised to Seth too, to send his Word at the end of the "Great" 5 1/2 days (5,500 years), to send "The Word" to save Adam and Seth and Seths decendants, kind of interesting that Cains decendants all perished in the biblical deluge, only Noah was righteous in Gods eyes(decendant of Seth), and given Adam was born within the 6th God day, but because he died within one God Day, this means Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahlaleel, and Jared all were born in the 6th God day, before the Creation week was over, 7,000 years, (7 great days) Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahlaleel, Jared, all died within the seventh God day, (making the Giza Pyramid around 7,000 years old), Enoch would of died within the seventh God day but he was translated, and Metuselah apparently by the Math died in the year of the biblical deluge, and Lamech who begat Noah died 5 years before the flood, but by the Math 1,656 years expired from Adams birth till the biblical flood (making the flood happen 5,848 years ago), but the 5 1/2 days are based on God days so the from the point in time the seventh God day expired, starting a new timetable, you have 4,000 years from the end of the seventh God day till Christs birth to satisfy the 5 1/2 days from Adam, and interestingly this all supports the 6,000 years "after" the creation week event and fits quite well within the time table for the biblical flood, etc... It is quite interesting that the roof that Seth built (the pyramid of Giza), offering a pleasing offering on the altar to God, that God accepted and renewed his promise to send our savior, the Word in the flesh, and in Revelation it says that he is alive forevermore, he that was dead is alive forevermore (Jesus Christ is the resurrection and the life) he holds the keys of death and of hell. kjv revelation 1:18. When the apostles beheld our Savior they thought he was a spirit, and his response was give him some meat to eat, and does a spirit eat food, thus the resurrection relates to our Lord having a glorified body, the root of David, and of the bright and morning star. kjv revelation 22:16. In the Christian resurrection, we will be like angels, which is what the Promise to Adam, and Seth and their seed was all about, the Word our Savior so even though we die, we will be resurrected in the flesh, to be like angels, where the corruptible will put on incorruption, and the basis of the Christian faith, the Word becoming flesh, to save our immortal souls, if it all ended at the grave, what would be the reason to send a savior, to release the captives in Abrahams bosom, etc...
kjv Rev 1:18 I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
kjv Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, [and] the bright and morning star.
kjv Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
kjv 2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
There is a possiblility that the Pryamid of Giza being the middle of the earth is where Adams body rests, for Adam said he was to be buried in the middle of the earth, in the second book of Adam and Eve, did not Joesph return to egypt with the babe Jesus warned by an angel, so did not Jesus come out of Eygpt, it seems to me to be a part of prophecy, making one wonder about the real reasonings of the pryamid, if its the roof Seth built 6,570-6,458 years ago, or if it was built after the flood by Noahs Son Shem, 5,848 years ago.

Chapter VIII.
Adam's remarkable last words. He predicts the Flood. He exhorts his offspring to good.
He reveals certain mysteries of life.
11 "But, 0 my son, let those whom it will leave out from among your children at that time, take my body with them out of this cave; and when they have taken it with them, let the oldest among them command his children to lay my body in a ship until the flood has been assuaged, and they come out of the ship.
12 Then they shall take my body and lay it in the middle of the earth, shortly after they have been saved from the waters of the flood.
13 "For the place where my body shall be laid, is the middle of the earth; God shall come from thence and shall save all our kindred.
Chapter XXI.
Jared dies in sorrow for his sons who had gone astray. A prediction of the Flood.
8 "And unto him of you who shall be left, 0 my sons, shall the Word of God come, and when he goes out of this land he shall take with him the body of our father Adam, and shall lay it in the middle of the earth, the place in which salvation shall be wrought."
9 Then Noah said unto him, "Who is he of us that shall be left?"
10 And Jared answered, "Thou art he that shall be left. And thou shalt take the body of our father Adam from the cave, and place it with thee in the ark when the flood comes.
11 "And thy son Shem, who shall come out of thy loins, he it is who shall lay the body of our father Adam in the middle of the earth, in the place whence salvation shall come."
