The Days of Noah?
Genesis chapter six is a record of the state of mankind on the earth about the year 1556 from the creation when Noah was 500 years old:
- men began to multiply on the face of the earth
- they took them wives of all which they chose

Violence would have been such that many would experience peril as a normal expectation of life. Tyrants would rule through gangs, private militia and brute force much like that in many unstable or war torn regions of the world today. Evidence the additional decree of the capital punishment statute immediately after the flood, ...at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. (Gen 9:5-6)
