The period of time, approximately six thousand years,
beginning with the revelation of Adam and ending with the Declaration
of the Báb. Also called the 'Prophetic Era', the Adamic Cycle included
a series of successive divine revelations which gave rise to the religions
of Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The Declaration of the Báb in 1844 marked the end of the
Adamic Cycle and the beginning of the 'Bahá'í Cycle' or 'Era of
Fulfillment'. |
