People of the Prophet Ibr A h And ma, peace be upon him, still persisted in his disbelief. Only a small number of them believed. Then, seeing that people do not heed His call and stubbornly refuse to accept the Faith, Prophet Ibr A h And m, peace be upon him, decided to leave for another area where he could freely worship Allah and call people to Islam. Maybe there people will respond to His call and accept the Faith, recognizing that only Allah is the Only Creator Who owns the Power over everything.
In the sacred TO it is said to ur'ane (Sura "A With—WITHA ff A t”, Ayat 99):
﴿ وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ ﴾
It means: "Prophet Ibr A h And m, peace be upon him, said[moving from the unbelieving people] : "I am going where My Lord has commanded me to go,[i.e., into the territory of Sham] where I can freely worship Allah Almighty.
And also in other Ayats TO ur`ana said about the Prophet Ibr A h And me (Sura Al-‘Ankab at t”, Ayats 26-27):
﴿ فَآمَنَ لَهُ لُوطٌ وَقَالَ إِنِّي مُهَاجِرٌ إِلَى رَبِّي إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ X وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَجَعَلْنَا فِي ذُرِّيَّتِهِ النُّبُوَّةَ وَالْكِتَابَ وَءَاتَيْنَاهُ أَجْرَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَإِنَّهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ لَمِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ ﴾
It means: "Prophet Lu T was a believer, like other Prophets, and He was the first to recognize Ibr A h And ma, peace be upon him as a prophet, when he saw that the fire did not harm him. Prophet Ibr A h And m said: “I am moving to where My Lord has commanded me[to the territory of Sham] . Indeed, Allah will protect me from enemies, and He knows about everything. Allah gave Ibr A h And mu[son] Is hack a and[grandchild] I' ku ba, and gave the descendants of Ibr A h And ma Prophecy and Heavenly Scriptures. Allah gave Iber A h And mu feature in this life[since Muslims very often praise Him by reciting du‘ A` and h caviar] and in the Other World He will be in Paradise.
Prophet Ibr A h And m, peace be upon him, fulfilling the Command of the Almighty, moved with his wife Sarah and nephew Lu T om to the blessed land of Sham.
Allah Almighty said in TO ur'ane (Sura Al-Anbi I`", Verses 71-73):
﴿ وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَلُوطًا إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي بَارَكْنَا فِيهَا لِلْعَالَمِينَ X وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ نَافِلَةً وَكُلاًّّ جَعَلْنَا صَالِحِينَ X وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنَا وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْهِمْ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرَاتِ وَإِقَامَ الصَّلاةِ وَإِيتَاءَ الزَّكَاةِ وَكَانُواْ لَنَا عَابِدِينَ ﴾
It means: “At the command of Allah, the Prophet Ibr A h And m and lu T moved to a special, blessed territory[sham] . Allah gave the Prophet Ibr A h And to pious descendants, among them - Is hack a and I' ku ba. They were Prophets, leading people on the path of Truth, as the Almighty commanded them. Allah commanded Them through Revelation to do good deeds - to perform Namaz, to give Zakat. They worshiped only Allah Almighty.

Sham is the territory of Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan.
Lou T was the son of brother Ibr A h And ma, peace im.
People of the Prophet Ibr Aһ And Ma decided to take revenge on Him for the fact that He broke their idols and thus showed the insignificance of these idols. After the Prophet Ibr A h And m won the argument with Numrud, presenting him with irrefutable mental evidence, Numrud and his subordinates decided to burn Him in the fire, and thus punish Him.
Said in the Holy TO ur'ane (Sura "A With—WITHA ff A t”, Ayat 97):
﴿ ﴾
It means: A h And ma into the fire.
It is also said in TO ur'ane (Sura Al-Anbi I`", Ayat 68):
﴿ قَالُواْ حَرِّقُوهُ وَٱنصُرُواْ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ ﴾
It means: "Numrud said, 'Burn him in the fire and take vengeance on your idols if you want the idols to win.'
Unbelievers began to prepare a fire for the Prophet Ibr Aһ And ma, collecting firewood from everywhere. So they wanted to avenge Him for their idols, which they deified. Their hatred for the Prophet Ibr Aһ And and the thirst for revenge was so strong that even sick women made a vow to collect firewood for this fire if they recovered.
After a huge amount of firewood had been collected, the disbelievers dug a deep hole and piled firewood into it. Then they lit a fire. A bright flame flared up and began to flare up with extraordinary force. Huge sparks flew up, the likes of which had never been before. The fire was so strong that people could not even approach it and throw the Prophet Ibr at it. A h And ma. Then they built a catapult to throw Him into the fire from afar. The unbelievers tied His hands and put Him on the bowl of the catapult. Prophet Ibr A h And m, peace be upon him, strongly trusted in his Creator, and when he was thrown into the fire, he uttered these words:
«حَسْبُنَا اللهُ وَنِعْمَ الوَكِيْل»
It means: "Our hope is in Allah, only He will give protection from harm." Narrated Al-Bukhari from Ibn ‘Abb A sa.
By the Will of Allah, the fire did not burn the Prophet of Ibr A h And ma, peace be upon him, and even his clothes remained intact, since fire does not create burning, but Allah creates it.
In the sacred TOI`", Ayat 69):
﴿ قُلْنَا يَا نَارُ كُونِي بَرْدًا وَسَلامًا عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ ﴾
It means: “Allah made the fire cool for Ibr A h And ma and did not burn Him.”
By the Will of Allah, this strong fire was cool and safe for the Prophet Ibr A h And ma, peace be upon him. Some scholars said that the fire only burned the ropes that bound His hands. Some Salafi scholars reported that at that moment before the Prophet Ibr A h And my Angel Jabr appeared A`And l, peace be upon him, and asked: “Oh, Ibr A h And m, do you need any help?” On what the Prophet Ibr A h And m, trusting in the Almighty Creator, replied: "I do not need you."
After the flame of this huge fire went out and the smoke dissipated, people saw that the Prophet Ibr A h And m alive and well, and that the fire did not harm Him in the least. So they saw the Miracle with their own eyes. But, even despite this, they still remained in their error and did not believe in the Prophet Ibr A h And ma, peace be upon him.
Allah did not let the unbelievers win. They wanted to avenge their idols, but as a result they themselves were defeated.
In the sacred TO ur`ana said (Sura "Al-Anbi I`", Ayat 70):
﴿ وَأَرَادُواْ بِهِ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الأَخْسَرِينَ ﴾
It means: "The unbelievers wanted to punish Ibr A h And ma, and instead they themselves received a painful punishment from Allah.
It is also said in TO ur'ane (Sura "A With—WITHA ff A t”, Ayats 97-98):
﴿ قَالُواْ ٱبْنُواْ لَهُ بُنْيَانًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِي الْجَحِيمِ فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الأَسْفَلِينَ ﴾
It means: "Numrud said: "Build a catapult and throw Ibr from it A h And ma into the fire. The unbelievers wanted to burn Ibr A h And ma to stop His call. But as a result, they failed, and the Prophet Ibr A h And m was saved.
The story of how the Prophet Ibr A h And m called to Islam the tyrant Numrud, who called himself a god
After the Prophet Ibr A h And m, peace be upon him, broke the idols, angry pagans brought him to people's court before their ruler Numrud and powerful nobles. And then the Prophet Ibr A h And m, peace be upon him, explained to people the falsity of their worship of idols. Numrud began to deny Islam and the fact that Allah is the Lord of everything, and that there is no other deity besides Him. Because of his pride and stubbornness, Numrud called himself a god and said Ibr A h And mu: "Tell who you worship by calling others." Prophet Ibr A h AndTo ara”, Ayat 258):
﴿ رَبِّيَ الَّذِي يُحْيِ وَيُمِيتُ ﴾
It means: "My Lord is the One who gives life and death."
Prophet Ibr A h And I explained to him that Allah Almighty is the Creator of everything. And to prove the existence of the Creator, He pointed out what we see in animated creatures - life and death, and also that the stars, and the wind, and the clouds, and the rain necessarily have someone who controls them, that is Creator. Then Numrud said: “I give life and put to death. Let them bring me two condemned to death penalty“I will order one to be executed, and thus I will kill him, and the other I will free, and thus I will give him life.”
In his arrogance and stubbornness, Numrud wanted to show people that he could answer Ibr A h And mu. Then Prophet Ibr A h And m, peace be upon him, decided to bring against Numrud a strong argument that would silence him in order to stop this discussion and show his ignorance and stupidity before people. Ibr A h And m, peace be upon him, said (Sura Al-Ba To ara”, Ayat 258):
﴿ فَإِنَّ اللهَ يَأْتِي بِالشَّمْسِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَأْتِ بِهَا مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ ﴾
It means: “Indeed, Allah commands the sun to rise from the east. If you are the Lord, then command him to come up from the west.”
So Prophet Ibr A h And m proved to him that Allah is the Creator of everything, and He predetermined everything that happens in the world, and what Numrud said about himself is a lie. Ibr A h And m, peace be upon him, explained that the sun created just such (that it gives benefits and appears every day in the east) Allah Almighty - the Creator of the whole world. And only He Who gives life and puts to death can do what He wants, and no one can prevent Him from doing this or interfere. And Numrud, who imagines himself to be a giver of life and a killer, will not be able to make the sun rise from the west. With this strong argument, Numrud was finally broken and defeated in front of the whole people, being no longer able to object to Him.
Allah Almighty said (Sura Al-Ba To ara”, Ayat 258):
﴿ أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِي حَآجَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي رِبِّهِ أَنْ ءَاتَاهُ اللهُ الْمُلْكَ إِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رَبِّيَ الَّذِي يُحْيِ وَيُمِيتُ قَالَ أَنَاْ أُحْيِ وَأُمِيتُ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَإِنَّ اللهَ يَأْتِي بِالشَّمْسِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَأْتِ بِهَا مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَبُهِتَ الَّذِي كَفَرَ وَاللهُ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ ﴾
It means: “Didn’t the story reach you about how Numrud, to whom Allah bestowed a hugepower, argued with the Prophet Ibr A h And about the Existence of Allah? Numrud asked Ibr A h And ma: "Who is your Lord?" Ibr A h And m, peace be upon him, said: "My Lord is the One who gives life and death." Numrud objected to Ibr A h And mu, saying: "I give life and put to death." He wanted to say that he could execute one person and save another from the death penalty, and allegedly in this way he could kill and bestow life. Then Prophet Ibr A h And m said to him: “Indeed, Allah commands the sun to rise from the east. If you are the Lord, then command him to come up from the west.” So Numrud was finally broken. And verily, unbelievers will not be saved from punishment in the Other World.
As reported, Allah Almighty sent to the unbelieving Numrud, who stubbornly did not want to accept the Truth, one Angel, who called him to believe in Allah and accept Islam. However, Numrud did not believe. Then the Angel appeared to him again and called him to the Faith, but he still did not accept Islam. And the third time, when an angel came to him, he did not listen to Him and remained in his error. Then the Angel said to him: "Gather your army, and I will gather mine." In the morning, at sunrise, Numrud gathered his large army, and at that time Allah sent clouds of mosquitoes as punishment - there were so many of them that they eclipsed the sun.
Mosquitoes destroyed the entire army of Numrud - they ate their flesh and sucked out their blood so that only bones remained of them. Numrud himself was also punished: one mosquito flew into his nose and lived there for 400 years, torturing him. During this time, out of terrible agony and unbearable pain, Numrud beat himself on the head with an iron hammer to alleviate his suffering. In the end, he died from this.
: Yesterday I went to bed early enough, and at two or three o'clock I woke up abruptly from an unbearable feeling and the sharpest awareness of death, fear, emptiness, loneliness ... This happens to me from time to time, but this time I could not even continue to lie, some kind of internal panic and helplessness, even some kind of horror ... I got up, turned on the light, sat on the sofa and began to cry ... After a while I turned on my laptop, got distracted. And then she sat down again and for a very long time could not do anything at all, she even got up from the sofa to eat only in the evening.
How I managed to write that bullshit about Tyler to you, I am amazed myself ...
Leo... Somehow today everything is happening in an unfamiliar way... Maybe I haven't got it yet, what exactly, or maybe I've got it...
Master Leo: Eva!!! I'm happy!
: I don't recognize myself...
Master Leo: Who recognizes? Whom? Someone you've never met? How do you recognize someone you've never met?
: Yes. The emptiness is somehow different… Not the same as before, but how should I say it… zeroing. Yes, reset. And immediately some huge Awareness, all-encompassing, all-encompassing… Such an intense all at once. I tried to feel like Eva… I can’t feel like that Eve… I don’t even know how I will react to you.
Master Leo: So where is Eve?
: Fuck knows where Eva is... I don't feel her.
Master Leo: Happy birthday! Don't pick yourself up, don't even try. Be piecemeal, broken.
: I'm getting to know this new state. In general, I had a desire to remain silent. It just so happened that I wrote to you and you answered. In general, the first thing that arose was the desire to shut up and just watch him ...
Master Leo: Nastya congratulates you on your death. Dimka laughs for you.
: Thank you ... Another of the first sensations was a vivid realization that no one belongs to anyone, just a living awareness of this. Previously, there was somehow a more theoretical understanding, but now it is real, alive. And, looking back, at that period when I took out your brain, now I am amazed at my delusion ... I began to perceive you in a different way - not as my own, but simply as free man with whom I was lucky to be together.
Master Leo: God bless!
: Actually, it has been going to this for a long time, I felt. And I had no other turn, only this one. And dreams have recently been dreamed, in which there was simply absorbing fear and horror! And in general, my whole being literally asked for an explosion, I could no longer continue to be that Eva, it was already unbearable for me ... And in Lately I wanted Explosion more than anything else!
Master Leo: It comes gradually, but it happens all at once. Will you hurt the cat again?
: Of course not!
Master Leo: you now see, What I write. I'm not talking about a cat...
: About my past stupidity.
Master Leo: How I love you! Before you didn't saw, argued. And I couldn't do anything. You took the words. See is to perceive the essence, not the words. Words are complete bullshit! You can say anything! Is it true?
: Is it true. The very first was the realization of the Dream. I really saw the Dream of myself ... I saw my past as a Dream, myself in the past as a Dream. As if I really slept and I had terrible dreams, and then I suddenly woke up. I felt and saw it very clearly.
Master Leo: Did you dream about Eva?
: Yes, everything was a dream, almost everything.
Master Leo: Here we are now see one. Only now! I'm glad.
: Observation has intensified, sharply ... I am like a spectator in a huge theater, a spectator who has the opportunity to participate if he wants, but even this participation is already completely different; attention is drawn through, inward, to the whole essence, vision even more than before, it pierces everything that happens ... I tried to sleep now, but I wanted to write to you ...
We are much more alone than one could imagine ... I am now see from the outside, all the fuss that a person lives in, not as she had seen before, but more voluminously and comprehensively, all at once, entirely and in detail at the same time. All human fuss, all show-offs, all tinsel, all this endless chaotic movement, this stream of external events, all trivialities, trivialities ... All this is so clear sees from the state of my zero, from the center… It’s as if I’m standing in the middle of a huge noisy square and just watching all the events around, all the movement, everything flashes before my eyes, everything comes and goes, and I stand and watch… Such a feeling, such a perception… People they live in trivialities, trivialities of their value, and that is why there is so much shit, and why there is so much stupidity, suffering and regrets. I even somehow feel uncomfortable - I see through them, all the conditioning in the details, all human misfortune ... People are like fish beating on ice, with respite for petty joys. Running from themselves...
Eva Polna - Russian singer, composer, songwriter, ex-soloist of the group "Guests from the Future". Winner of 8 Golden Gramophone awards, including for her solo songs.Childhood and youth
Eve ( real name- Polnaya) was born and raised in an intelligent Leningrad family. Her parents noticed early musical talent daughters and did their best to develop it.Father with young years taught the girl to good music, jazz often sounded in the house, and the singer Ella Fitzgerald became Eve's idol and role model.
Another passion of little Eva was reading - she adored science fiction and often imagined myself in the cockpit spaceship. No wonder her musical group called "Guests from the Future".
Eva did not like school very much and went there reluctantly. She much more enjoyed doing music and choreography than cramming algebra and physics. Therefore, the girl chose a humanitarian university and entered the library department of the Institute of Arts, which she successfully graduated in 1996. But she did not have a chance to work in her specialty.
By the time she graduated from the university, Eva was already a member of the rather well-known rap group A-2 in St. Petersburg, where she performed as a vocalist and dancer. After staying in it for a year, Polna went to solo swimming, performing classic rock ballads in St. Petersburg clubs.
Musical career
In 1996, fate brought her to Yuri Usachev, who was looking for a vocalist for his musical project. Seeing the girl on stage, he was completely fascinated by her voice and energy, and after the performance he offered cooperation. So Polna became a soloist, as well as a songwriter, director and costume designer for the newly-minted group "Guests from the Future".Eva Polna. "How it all began"
Their first album, recorded in the jungle style, did not special interest at the public. Changing the concept towards pop music, they recorded several new songs and began to perform with them in clubs.
At one of these concerts, the “Guests” were heard by DJ Groove, who appreciated the composition “Time is Sand” from the album of the same name and offered it for broadcast on the radio. Unexpectedly, the single took the first lines in the charts, and they started talking about the group as a new musical event in the domestic show business.
Guests from the Future - "The Best of You"
Soon "Guests from the Future" recorded the third album "Run from me", and a year later the fourth - "Winter in the Heart". The team celebrated its fifth anniversary with a big solo concert in the St. Petersburg Palace of Culture "Jubilee", after which "Guests from the Future" went on a big tour.
In the spring of 2006, their first solo concert in Moscow, and three years later Yuri Usachev left the team. For some time he remained a co-author of Eva and a musical arranger of songs, but Polna was already alone on the stage.
Eva Polna - "Not Parting"
Over the next ten years, the singer recorded two studio albums, for six songs of which video clips were shot. For my solo activity the singer received several Golden Gramophones, Muz-TV and MusicAwards awards, and many other honorary music awards.
Since 2013, Polna has become a frequent guest on television. She showed herself perfectly in the show “Just Like It”, and a year later she was invited to the jury of the project “I Want to Meladze”. Then she became a guest of Yulia Menshova in the program “Alone with Everyone”.
Eva Polna. Alone with everyone
In 2016-17, Polna gave several major concerts, and in 2017 she released her second solo album Phoenix.
Personal life of Eva Polna
The singer is not married and does not hide her bisexual orientation. At the same time, she is an exemplary and loving mother of her daughters Evelina (2005) and Amalia (2007).It is extremely difficult to answer the question of who lived longer, Adam or Eve, since we do not even know what the age difference was between them. However, some sources give us such information.
Be fruitful and multiply
The question of the chronology of the life of the biblical Patriarchs is not easy and in many ways controversial. This is primarily due to the fact that the Old Testament books do not give us any dates. According to the Bible, we know in what year from the Creation of the world we live, but we do not know the exact date of the birth of the first person, how much older Adam was (and older than Eve), when our ancestors were expelled from the Garden of Eden, and, finally, who died earlier , Adam or Eve?
Theologians claim that Adam and Eve saw the light already as adults, formed and ready to reproduce creatures. After all, it is said in the Pentateuch: “And God blessed them, and God said to them: be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth” (Gen. 1:27–28).
The Bible gives us some dates for the chronology of Adam's life. “Adam lived a hundred and thirty years and begat [a son] in his likeness [and] in his own image, and called his name: Seth. The days of Adam after he begat Seth were eight hundred years, and he begat sons and daughters. All the days of Adam's life were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died” (Gen. 5:3-5). But much less is known about Eve.
Eve's fate
From the 2nd chapter of the Book of Genesis we know: “And the Lord God brought a deep sleep upon the man; and when he fell asleep, he took one of his ribs, and covered the place with flesh. And the Lord God created from the rib taken from the man a wife, and brought her to the man. And the man said, Behold, this is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, for she was taken out of [her] husband” (Genesis 2:20-23).
But how old was Adam when Eve was created from his rib, how old was Eve herself, how many years on earth were allotted to the wife of the first man, the Bible is silent. Indirectly, the duration of Eve's life can be indicated by the age at which children were born to Adam. However, the difficulty arises already with the first-born of the progenitors of mankind. According to the Bible, Cain and Abel were born after the fall and expulsion from Paradise - that's when Adam knew Eve.
But Jewish interpreters believe that the verb "knew" should be taken in the pluperfect. In other words, according to them, conception occurred before the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. Perhaps immediately after the creation of our foremother from the rib of the forefather.
Much easier with the third son of Adam and Eve - Seth. Based on the canonical text, we know that Seth was born when our forefather was 130 years old. And when Adam was 800 years old, as indicated by Holy Bible He begat more sons and daughters. It is logical to assume that Eve was the mother of all the children of Adam, which means that by the 800th anniversary of her husband she was still alive.
Traditions of Islam
What does the Koran say about the life of the first people? In Islamic tradition, it is reported that after being expelled from Paradise, Adam descended to earth on the island of Ceylon, and Hava (Eve) in Arabian Jeddah. For 200 years they prayed to the Lord for forgiveness until they met in the valley of Arafat. Then Adam and Hava went to the territory of modern Syria, where they gave birth to numerous offspring.
According to legend, Khava gave birth 20 times, with the exception of last son twins were born. In total, the couple had 39 children, and the interval between births was two years. However, the number "two" may not correspond to our modern reckoning. In some Islamic sources, you can find information that Adam lived for 2000 years, and Hava survived him for 40 years, according to others - only for a year.
According to Islamic traditions (companions of Mohammed mention this), the burial place of Hava is known - Jeddah. The monument above her burial place was destroyed in 1928 at the behest of Prince Faisal to prevent the spread of superstition. The grave itself was concreted by the authorities Saudi Arabia in 1975, as pilgrims prayed on it, violating the Hajj.
Even if we assume that the real Eve is in Jeddah, then in the foreseeable future, archaeologists and scientists will hardly be able to get to the burial place.
And died almost on the same day
The Old Testament apocrypha from the so-called Dead Sea Scrolls, which have come down to us in Arabic, Syriac, Ethiopian, Armenian and Slavic versions, can tell us much more about the life of Adam and Eve.
So, in the text called "The Book of Adam and Eve" it is reported that when Adam was 930 years old, he became seriously ill. At his request, Eve and Seth went to Eden to find a cure to ease suffering. However, God refused to help them. Returning to Adam, they heard from him the story of a divine vision in which the Archangel Michael announced to Adam about his imminent death. Before departing to another world, Adam instructed Seth on the path of righteousness, asking him to keep the commandments of the Lord. Six days after Eve and Seth delivered Adam to the gates of Paradise, he rested.
According to the same apocrypha, six days after the death of Adam, Eve gathered all the sons and daughters (thirty brothers and thirty sisters of Seth) and said: “Listen to me, my children, and I will tell you what the archangel Michael told us when I and your father sinned against God. Because of our sin, God will bring upon our race the wrath of his judgment, first by water, the second by fire; With these two elements God will judge the whole human race.”
The text goes on to say that as soon as Eve had spoken, she stretched out her hands to heaven in prayer, “and knelt down, and while she bowed down to God and gave thanks to him, and gave up her spirit. After that, all her children buried her and mourned loudly.”
What Science Says
And what can science say about the age of the first people? Unfortunately, there is nothing about how long they lived. However, genetic scientists were able to establish the approximate lifetime of the mitochondrial Adam and Eve. This became possible due to the fact that the "tree of evolution" of the male Y-chromosome was restored.
After long and painstaking research, geneticists were able to state that chromosomal Adam lived about 120-156 thousand years ago, and Eve - 99-148 thousand years ago. And although the mitochondrial Adam and Eve have nothing to do with biblical characters, in general, science confirms that the genetic ancestors of people now living on Earth existed almost simultaneously.
Where harder attitude science to the age of the Biblical Patriarchs. According to the Bible, their life span was many hundreds of years. So, Adam's son Seth lived 912 years, Enos' grandson - 905, Cainan's great-grandson - 910. But the record holder was Enoch's son Methuselah, who lived to 969 years. It is no coincidence that the expression "Methuselah's age" exists. Before Flood, judging by the Old Testament texts, average age Patriarchs exceeded 900 years.
Gerontologists do not believe such longevity was ever possible. Maximum resource ordinary person, in their opinion, 120-130 years. Some representatives scientific world a similar phenomenon is explained by the fact that the "biblical year" is equal to the modern month, in which case if the age of Adam (930 years) is divided by 12 months, we get 77.5 years. It seems to match medium duration life of modern man.
However, there is a serious snag here. If we agree with scientists and translate into modern calculation the age of birth of Adam Seth, then we get 10 years and 8 months! But Cain and Abel were born even earlier. Then Abraham, who according to the Bible lived 175 years, had to die at the age of 14.5 years.
According to another version, supported by theologians, before the Flood, man lived in more favorable climatic and biological conditions, which allowed him to reach such impressive age marks. Burdened with the sins of the forefathers, the generation born after Noah began to steadily lose the ability to live long.
Polna Eva Leonidovna (b. 1975) is a Russian singer, soloist of the Russian pop group "Guests from the Future", songwriter and composer, winner of nine Golden Gramophone awards. Writes poetry under the pseudonym Vozderzhak Josephine Askoldovna.
Childhood
Eva was born in Leningrad on May 19, 1975. My interesting last name she inherited from a pope who was an ethnic Pole. When she was little, she often had to visit her father's homeland.
Eva remembered well one unpleasant moment from her childhood. As a little girl, she fell in love with film actor Vladimir Konkin and told her parents about it. Naturally, they did not take it seriously and even laughed a little at the child. If Konkin was shown on TV, then the baby was called: “Eva, go quickly, your love is being shown here.” At these moments, the girl blushed, burned with shame, she was unpleasant and a little hurt, as if she had done something obscene. When Eva became an adult, she told her mother that they had hurt her then. And the parents asked their daughter for forgiveness: “Daughter, we didn’t know that it was so serious for you.”
From this childhood experience she learned for herself good lesson in adult life. Whatever her children say, never, even if it is very funny and she wants to choke with laughter, Eve will not show this to the child. Because for little man this can be very important.
As for the rest, Eve had a very happy childhood, the singer recalls these years with special tenderness and warmth. Eva had an excellent relationship with her parents. The family was intelligent and at that time was considered wealthy. The girl studied music. Dad instilled in her love for this type of art, he managed to explain to his daughter and show what good music. As a child, Eva listened to musical compositions performed by Ella Fitzgerald. There was an old piano in the house, on which the girl learned to play and sing.
Years of study
She was in the family only child so to speak, at home education. The girl did not go to kindergarten. And when her grandmother took her to school for the first time, Eva had stressful condition: the little girl opened the door to the classroom, and there were a lot of people there. At first, she did not like school at all. When grandmother brought Eva to classes in the morning, she did not want to stay here. The girl asked her uncles and aunts, who brought their children to school, to pick her up and take her away from here. But it is clear that no one took her anywhere, she had to turn around and go to class.
Along with general education school and music, Eva was engaged in dancing and choreography, her idol in this art form was the ballerina Anna Pavlova. However, in childhood, when all the girls dreamed of a stage, Eva dreamed of becoming an astronaut. She was very fond of reading books, especially science fiction. Her favorite TV show was "Obvious - Incredible" with host Sergey Kapitsa. She nevertheless realized her dream of a cosmic and unknown world, working and performing in a group with the fantastic name "Guests from the Future".
When Eva graduated from high school, she had no idea what she would like to become in the future. Parents, of course, insisted that their daughter receive higher education. Eva at that time needed to pull up her cultural level and get a good humanitarian base. Therefore, in 1991, for admission, she chose the Leningrad state institute culture named after Krupskaya, after graduating from which she received a diploma of a specialist "librarian-bibliographer".
Along with this, Eva received another higher education, her second profession is a specialist in information management and marketing.
And after all this, the girl applied for admission to the St. Petersburg College of Arts, after graduating from which she received a choreographer's diploma.
"Visitors from the future"
Having received three specialties, Eva never worked in any of them. While still a student, she first appeared on stage with the rap group A-2, first as a dancer, then as a backing vocalist. In this team, Polna worked for a year, after which she began independent performances. Eva's favorite genre at that time was classic rock music of the 70s. In many St. Petersburg clubs, she wonderfully performed such musical compositions. There was even a case when Eva sang on stage for five hours, but her name was not known to St. Petersburg music lovers.
The real creative career of Eva Polna began in 1996. DJ and composer Yuri Usachev worked at that time in the cast-iron runner team. At one point he came up with the idea of creating new pop group. So, together with Evgeny Arsentiev, they came up with “Guests from the Future”, and as a soloist they invited Eva Polna, whom they saw during a performance in one of the clubs. Soon, the singer showed her other talents: she created stage images and costumes, wrote lyrics.
In 1997 the band recorded their first album. The compositions were in the jungle style, the recording took place at one of the St. Petersburg home studios. They made the album literally in one night, gave the intriguing title "After hundreds of years." The listeners did not immediately perceive six compositions with an unusual sound, the circulation of the album was small.
However, soon one of the songs called "Sand Time" brought fame to the team. It was heard and approved by the famous St. Petersburg DJ Groove, he often began to broadcast the demo version of the song, and it unexpectedly appeared on the first lines of the chat. After that, the group "Guests from the Future" received an offer to hold the first performance.
March 8, 1998 in the St. Petersburg club "Titanic" a concert took place. Eva was very surprised when she saw from the stage that the audience was singing along with her, and she sang some songs “for an encore” three times. This day is considered the official founding date of the group. Soon they released their new songs, which were included in the album "Time Sand". But popularity was still narrow.
Then Evgeny Arsentiev decided to leave the team. And Yuri Usachev decided to change the style and Musical direction groups. They stayed with Eva alone and chose a dance-pop style for themselves. Their first song "Run from me" was a success. Eva had a special style of performance - detached and romantic. At the same time, a bright sexual overtones were felt in the song. All this in short term made the song a hit, it was played on all the radio stations, it sounded from music stores and kiosks.
This contributed to the transition of the group to new level, and Eva and Yuri went to Moscow. Producer Yevgeny Orlov signed a contract with them. Several video clips were shot, the album "Run from me" was recorded. The group "Guests from the Future" burst into the world of show business, photos of Yuri and Eva appeared on the covers of popular magazines. A series of concerts began, at which there was a full house. Already in 1999, the group "Guests from the Future" became a participant in the final program "Song of the Year", where Eva performed the song "Dislike". And the song "I'm with you" brought them the first statuette "Golden Gramophone".
The year 2000 was marked by the release of a new album called "Winter in the Heart" and the first foreign tours. In London, they shot a video for the song "Games", which instantly became a hit. Eva could already collect Golden Gramophones:
- 2000 - for the song "You are somewhere";
- 2001 - for "Ondine";
- 2002 - for the composition "He is a stranger";
- 2003 - for the song "Why are you."

- 2001 - "Best";
- 2002 - "Eve";
- 2003 - "In the Mood for Love", "It's stronger than me, part 2".
They had millions of fans across the country, and music critics recognized the group as phenomenal.
On March 8, 2003, guests from the future celebrated their first anniversary - five years - among fans. However, less than a month later, at the beginning of April, in northern capital, St. Petersburg, a public celebration of their little anniversary date. Passed grand concert at the Yubileiny Sports Palace.
Along with the performances, in the group everyone did a little bit of their own business. Yura at the Gramophone Records became general producer. Eva began to take her first steps in modeling business. No, she did not start working as a model, Polna herself modeled clothes, and her new collection"Denim Symphony" during the show was a success.
“Guests from the Future” released several more albums (“Rules of the Road”, “More than Songs”, “Behind the Star”), but their creative career went into decline. In 2009, Eva Polna announced that Yuri Usachev left the group.
Solo career
The original singer was not going to leave the stage and continued solo performances. They turned out to be quite successful, Eva again replenished her collection of "Golden Gramophones":
- 2011 - for the song "Ships";
- 2012 - for the song "I don't have you either";
- 2016 - for the song "Little".
In 2016, on the occasion of St. Valentine's Day, Polna's big solo concert took place. This holiday is especially suitable for her work, because Eva sings all the songs only about love. A stylish and bright singer, a confident and honest woman, can sparklingly joke and laugh contagiously, her voice cannot be forgotten or confused with others - for all these qualities, fans continue to love Eva's songs and herself.
Personal life
Eva is a very unusual and extravagant woman. Such is her personal life. During stage career yellow press attributed to Polna many novels, and not only with men, but also with the fairer sex.
Despite such rumors, Eva became the mother of two beautiful girls.
In 2005, she gave birth to Evelyn. Fans of the group "Guests from the Future" really wanted Yuri Usachev to be the husband of the singer and the father of the child, the couple looked too good and harmonious together. However, neither Eva nor Yura ever commented or gave interviews about their personal relationship. And the father of the first daughter Evelyn was the Russian pop singer Denis Klyaver. Eva carefully concealed this and was not going to ever talk about it. But the whole country common daughter let us know Denis.
The second daughter Amalia was born in 2007. Her father was a businessman and restaurateur Sergei Pilgun, with whom Eva lived in marriage. Despite the appearance of a daughter, the couple failed to maintain marital relations and broke up. Now Eva is raising her daughters herself.
Girls interesting names, Eva chose them herself. As the singer says, she wanted the name of each of her daughters to be very beautiful and at the same time international. Since our life now takes place all over the world (work, travel), girls with their own names should feel comfortable in any country.
Eva's daughters are very affectionate and at home they call their mother Musya (a derivative name from Mamusi). The singer tries to be both a friend and a mentor for girls at the same time. She instills in the little ones a philosophical attitude to life; explains that there is an objective and subjective opinion; warns that the life path they will have to fill a lot of bumps, from which, if possible, he tries to save the girls. Otherwise, Eva does not like to talk about her personal life, because she considers it the space where the singer can relax, unwind, calm down and draw new strength for creativity.
Eva Polna is always very bright on stage, she prefers to be the same in Everyday life, because around is already full of dullness and despondency, you need to cheer yourself up with colorful clothes. She is always feminine and elegant, hardly anyone will be able to see her in shorts and a T-shirt. Her main motto is: "Make life brighter with your own hands".
