The Names of the Bible

I was reading Gen. 10, when all these names started to pass. It Was vey confusing, because all the names are very strange, like Shem, Japheth, Ham, Tarshish, Kittim, Meshech, Togarmah, Dodanim, and a lot of more. Not only they are strange, but they relationship they each have is very strange. For example, Japheth is the father of Meshech, as well as another three sons. They never mane who is the mother of any, which is very curious. Theey each live for 500 years and many more, and this, even though I don't think is possible, is very strange, because the begginer of this huge chain of sons-and-daughters-without-moms is Adam. He lived for 935 years. The strange thing is, every time he had a son or a daughter, they son/daughter had another son/daughter after somewhat around thirty years. If every son/daughter had another son/daughter after exactly thirty years, then they day of Adam's funeral, his 311th grandson would be there to mourn him! 311! What is also cool is that as every son/daughter had more than one son/daughter, then you would have thousands of kids of similar age to play with, and they would all be familiars of you! This would be a very nice type of life. Imagine your mom saying "Your 198 grandma invited us to eat, and your 201 grandma is also invited. Wow long time since I don't see her, like 100 years! " jajaja that would be funny.
